Here tw reasonable black men debate whether or not blacks should get reparations. It's a short clip, so there is no in-depth discussion.
One topic that never seems to come up in this debate is what politicians are likely to bring reparations about.
It won't be the Democrats. If they would going to give reparations for slavery, they would have done it already. During the numerous times in the last hundred and sixty years in which Democrats held the power, there was never a serious attempt to do so, not that I remember.
At least not on the national level. But here are several major cities in which not only Democrats, but Black Democrats specifically hold the majority in city counsels and the Mayor's office. That is where the reparations might come from.
I'm not commenting on whether or not reparations should be given, since there are arguments on both sides. I'm offering a way to get them done, if Blacks and Democrats are serious about them.
