Equi-what?

So, this is interesting, but of course it's not going to be really fair to everyone... http://techcrunch.com/2016/02/20/equipay-reparations-one-meal-at-a-time/

It doesn't take into account the complexity of bad childhoods. Like, take this as an example...

Having a very awful childhood can really wreck a person; I can see that. Also, there is this part:

"Roberts’ problems were only beginning. After his parents divorced, his beloved grandmother died of cancer. His stepfather–a man he loved and trusted–was electrocuted and died. In addition to all of this, his step-mother sexually abused him and Roberts’ sister was also kidnapped and murdered."

So. Man with awful childhood... 
survives, makes $$$, has a family, gets saved by buddies, and gets to tell his story. 

Sister with awful childhood...does not get to tell her story...why not?
