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.

Someone hoping to be tapped for VP? I’m white & Irish. Not expecting the US to pay reparations for the despicable actions that brought my family here over 150 yrs ago. Ripped from their home never to see their homeland again. I’m not wringing my hands.

I love you Marianne, I’d vote for you in a heartbeat if I were American but I cannot fathom how forcing people to pay for crimes they never committed will foster anything but resentment

.@marwilliamson, the Jewish Democratic nominee, turned heads Tuesday night when she revealed a detailed plan for the government to pay reparations to African Americans for slavery during a candidate debate in Detroit. jpost.com/American-Politics/…
