1. That's a position?

[ellacott]

2. What's wrong with what he said?

[2rth2pwr]

5. How about having the courage to just say no, which is what

he said by changing the subject to education funding.

[ellacott]

7. Actually that's not changing the subject

Education funding has been one of the proposals by those who are in favor of reparations.

11. This is so sad

This conversation has been going on for decades and you know nothing about it.

<The purpose of reparations payments would not be simply to hand over sums of money to the descendants of past victims, but to rectify the social and economic processes that underlie today's victims' continuing marginalization. Thus, reparations payments would presumably be used for investment in education, housing, health care, or job training, rather than consumer goods or other ephemeral benefits.>
