Difference between reparations & race-based policies is that reparations carry moral authority. They mean acknowledgement of a debt owed & willingness on the part of a people to pay it. That brings psychological, emotional & spiritual healing that actually interrupts the pattern.

But we don’t just need another “study.” We need to put a plan on the table already, negotiate a number and appoint a reparations council of descendants of American enslaved persons to disburse the funds. Nothing less will free us from the continuing trajectory of systemic racism.

I would like to know how we Native Americans will receive our reparations?

You endorsed the man who thinks reparations is too divisive so I guess it's not really that big of a deal

Let's be PERFECTLY CLEAR HERE. The ONLY candidate that wanted to put actual cash in the hands of African Americans was @AndrewYang and you didn't endorse him. At least he had a feasible plan that had no stigma attached.

How will it be decided who pays what? Will there have to be proof of ancestry to those who owned slaves? Proof of ancestry to slaves? Is it a one time pay out or an ongoing thing? For how long? So many questions.

First of all, the word spiritual has no meaning. Second, why are we all wasting our breath? Trump's gonna win again. These Dem candidates are all corn-balls. Since Reagan, it's a popularity contest. Period.

It seems to me that the Democrats are trying to start a Civil War, AGAIN!!
