It is inaccurate to say all Democrats support reparations for slavery. Repesentative Sheila Jackson Lee has proposed a bill to "study" the issue and many candidates support that, but no one is suggesting a plan for reparations. It would be hard to determine who might qualify for a cash payout. People would have to show their ancestry dates back to the slave trade. That alone would be very tough to demonstrate. It's a non-starter for that reason. It's clear people of color are persistently economically worse off than so-called white people. The reasons are complex, but no doubt part of it is discrimination.
Again that bill was paid in full by soldiers of the North, both black and white. It was paid in blood!!!!!
