And it's intriguing to me that you think that reparations evokes such strong passions but not any of the others issues that Sanders has made the hallmark of his campaign including apparently dismantling Obamacare for Medicare for All. Even the vast majority of Democrats have no interest in doing that. Imagine the screams you'll hear from Republicans.
I don't think the majority of Black voters are basing their support for a candidate on whether or not they support reparations, so what's behind the attack?
I don't think so either. Which makes the unadulterated panic in your post all the more bewildering. I saw no "attack" from Coates. I saw a man question a presidential candidate who lauds himself constantly as an "outsider" and doer of grand deeds but still somehow thinks that reparations are too "divisive."
