I agree with her. But we need more than a bill “to study the lasting affects of racism and slavery;” we know what they are. It’s time to get to the negotiating table and start making it happen. #Reparations

No we need to study and find legit paths to take, and that requires research, data, and peer review. Reparations doesn't look the same for everyone and many Black Americans have multiple ideas of how it should be structured and who qualifies.

See and this is the stuff that gets leftists angry. For over 200 years we had slavery and then some form of Jim crow laws. What is there to study? She has a Netflix account right? Watch a documentary...or two.

There is a more urgent issue - Establish the legitimacy of the person occupying the seat of the president in a fair and transparent manner. Save the USA or nothing else will ultimately matter.

My husband is of Irish descent and I am of Cherokee descent. Where’s the reparations for Irish slaves and Indigenous people? Where’s that equality you like to hype so much?

Does it bother you that there is ongoing slavery now? By observation it appears you are ok with attacking and killing brown people the Middle East while ignoring the North African slave trade. Why, what is this really about for you... clearly not principles?

$22 trillion spent on anti-poverty programs in the past 50 years. There are your reparations. Now go pound sand.
