Nice white people wringing their hands about systemic racism but not suggesting policy changes that fundamentally alter the economic gap between blacks & whites is still refusing to tackle the primary moral issue. We need to pay reparations for slavery now.

We don’t need govt to do things that r right. We can do it ourselves. Let’s use a progressive system. The richer you are, the more you pay. Everyone who agrees pays into the system which gets evenly distributed. Marianne since your net worth is ~$2MM, you pay $200K over 20 years

Reparations will do ZERO to change systematic racism. ZERO! They might be welcomed by the recipients, but reparations will not change human habits and behaviors. I’m an Indy Liberal and even I can see this.

Yang did and he is right, a thousand dollars a month will absolutely help those living at or below the poverty level.

Europeans were the victims of the Barbary slave trade for centuries. Who will pay them reparations?

White people dismiss racist acts as isolated incidents because it helps them sleep at night. Most don't believe in systemic racism. White people don't get it because they don't want to get it. Said another way.....White people are NOT ringing their hands.

My forefathers worked in Mines, Mills and so called service. That’s in a big house downstairs slaving to rich people. That’s how most of this country was back in the day. How and why do you think people like me owe anyone anything. White working class men are still downtrodden.
