In my latest, I compare Bernie Sanders's "reparations" answer from last night's #BernieTownHall to the stances of other 2020 candidates and argue that of all the candidates, only Sanders asked an all important question: "What does ["reparations"] mean?" theintercept.com/2019/02/26/…

Bernie Sanders Asks the Right Question on Reparations: What Does It Mean?

Multiple 2020 candidates have now committed to reparations, but none have specifically committed to race-specific redress for historical harm.

@marwilliamson explains what they mean very well. You’re stomping hard for Bernie when he has adequate access to scholars and orgs to know what reparations mean. youtube.com/szL84l9kd4I

She wants to give a $10 billion to "economic projects and educational projects for renewal." That is not a reparations plan. Honestly I would hope you'd want more than to fall for more lip service.

I respect your efforts to normalize the issue. I think that’s important. But this is not a plan. It’s a huge number range with no details about distribution or how this “council” would be selected — much less how it would be distributed.

It’s not white America’s role to say how the money is disbursed. That’s why selection of the reparations counsel is so important. The legal stipulation is “projects for economic & educational renewal.” If you owe people $, you don’t get to tell them how to spend it.
