Are slavery reparations something the government should be pursuing?
)
April 9th, 2019
A number of Democratic candidates, including most notably New Jersey senator Cory Booker, have presented the idea of reparations for descendants of slaves.
Booker has recently introduced a bill that he describes as “a way of addressing head-on the persistence of racism, white supremacy, and implicit racial bias in our country. It will bring together the best minds to study the issue and propose solutions that will finally begin to right the economic scales of past harms and make sure we are a country where all dignity and humanity is affirmed.”
This bill is to explore avenues of reparations and does not say specifically what reparations will entail.
Are reparations a good idea? If so, what form should they take?
I would love to hear opinions from black Americans, but I don’t know that we even have any here on Fluther.
