Billionaire presidential candidate Tom Steyer is not worried about the price tag for paying reparations to American Blacks descended from slaves. IN an interview with Charlamagne Tha God, Steyer said we must study reparations. “I think it has to happen … There is no way that we can do reparations without talking about truth first. We have to do a national commission talking about what happened over that last 400 years.”
During an October campaign stop in South Carolina, Steyer said:
“I’m for reparations. Let’s talk about what that really means because in the United States we’ve never really been willing to face the truth, as God says, not just of the hundreds of years of enslavement, we’ve never been willing to face the truth about the hundred years of Jim Crow and so there’s a history here that has been a denial of the truth for literally 400 years.”
