If African Americans deserve reparations, shouldn't native Americans as well? How about Mexicans for all the land we stole from them during the Mexican-American War? How about women who were underpaid for centuries and not allowed to vote? Where does it end?
Does anyone ever think these things through? Never mind the morality of such a thing, but what about the creation of an apparatus to handle reparations? How much to create it? How will you know who really “deserves” the reparations and who is lying? Mixed race people?
I am so glad you continue to keep this issue central in your message, pretty much every other candidate running would either put it on the back burner or ignore it completely once elected. I trust you would not!
As an American I believe #Reparations are overdue and I appreciate @marwilliamson for speaking out on this and being prepared to have the political conversations necessary to make it reality for our #ADOS fellow Americans.
Bs. It is just another form of welfare. We already have that problem. It keeps people dependant on the government and they stop trying to better their lives.
