  1. No, but their government is.
  2. Are you saying that an infusion of $425 billion into the economy wouldn't be productive?
  3. The United States of America.
  4. African slavery begat the racism and the racist policies.
  5. See: the subsidization of white America.
  6. I have no problem whatsoever with any group with a historical grievance against the U.S. making their case.
  7. I must have inferred it from: What's the pandora's box?
  8. Until the NY Times and the rest of the mainstream media give it the old Hillary's emails treatment.
  9. You oppose reparations in the form of monetary compensation because you worry that it will cause resentment among white folks and I'm the one fixated on race? OK.
  10. We must take the feelings of white people into account.
  11. Why not do all of those things?
  12. This political train wreck could not be more on point for Democrats. Good job, everyone. Well done.
  13. Nevertheless, this report is an own goal brought on by the infuriating Democratic impulse to stay above politics when dealing with an opponent who knows better.
  14. But what's wrong the monetary compensation?
  15. The only way to combat the political fallout from this is to get him out on the campaign trail.
  16. Fine. What's wrong with monetary compensation? How do you make up for decades-long discriminatory housing subsidies that helped create the wealth disparity in this country? How do you make up for redlining? How do you make up for block busting?
  17. Again, writing a check is just one option. Debt forgiveness is another. Clemency yet another. There are all sorts of options for a nation willing to address one of the most sordid chapters of its history. We're certainly able.
  18. Who says it has to be a one time payment? Reparations can come in the form of addressing the social, economic, and political inequities caused by systemic racism. The first step is acknowledging systemic racism exists. We still have a long way to go.
  19. Justice isn't about fixing anything.
