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/…

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.

ebony.com/news/dem-president… Note that it's very difficult to figure out what she wants. Her website says a lot of nice stuff about the history of discrimination and what we're owed, but is short on specifics.

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.

First of all, we absolutely should be talking tax hikes for the very richest. We also need to remember that any money that goes into economically improving peoples lives is money that is actually invested in the economy. It’s an economic stimulus.

Without the piece about how this is distributed specifically to #ADOS, this sounds a lot like the universal programs proposed by others. Which are good and good for low income POCs! But are not reparations.
