On Reparations: “We need to get real. This is not a debt we can afford to delay any longer. It is simply a debt we owe. Racism is a character defect. Let’s solve this. Whatever it costs, it is time to do this.“ #williamsontownhall #Marianne2020

So your idea is that by forcing people who never owned slaves to pay people who were never slaves and that will somehow solve racism. 🤦🏼‍♀️

Please try to explain to white people without blaming current generations (I know you did a great video on the history, but please summarize it when you speak each time of the PRICE POC have paid, not a just debt we owe)

It's not our debt to pay. It's not my debt to pay. I didn't own slaves and my family didn't own slaves. No one living was a slave before slavery was abolished. Start a gofundme if you must.

Would there be a definition of who today is “black” and therefore qualified to receive reps? 100% black, half/black, quarter, eighth. . .? Anyone with one black ancestor since the 1600s?
