I propose reparations as opposed to simply “race-based policies” because they carry with them an inherent mea culpa. They are an inherent acknowledgment of a wrong that has been done, of a debt that is owed, and a willingness to pay it.

This country can’t have the future that we want unless we’re willing to clean up the past.

I get it though. You’re Oprah’s friend. But what about the Native Indians who suffered a worse fate and still do.

What??? Trying to hustle the black vote??? You know reperations wont be approved, because no one alive was ever a slave, or slaveowner. If you supposedly care about black people, why would you fight to get Millions of black babies aborted? #1 killer of black people in America.

Time for the #DemocRatParty to pay reparations for its history of enacting #slavery & creating #JimCrow disaster for 200 years The last time #donkeyDems were so upset was when #Martyr #Gop #PresidentLincoln freed the #slaves! #bLexIT #WalkAwayFromDemocrats youtube.com/OURy5WFp0zk

We often speak with disdain of people "selling out" or "being bought." Isn't reparations just an attempt to buy off a wrong doing? "We paid you so it's okay now."? Plus, implementing the legistics would be horrendous and result in just as many left feeling cheated or wronged....

If the US is a true Christian nation, she would have done this a long time ago. Apologies not accepted.

Please look into the sellers if those slaves. They should help pay the reparations. They may all still be in Africa. Who will actually pay from this country? All taxpayers, only white taxpayers, just non- black taxpayers.
