6. I support reparations

When I read that Georgetown University was built by slaves who were later sold (this is documented) and who ended up living in a very poor community, it makes total sense that the University should be obligated to do some sort of reparations. To start they should give the descendants of the slaves they used and then sold tuition free full college educations and housing, in ANY college the students want to attend. They should also make sure all the students in schools are educated so they qualify for college.

And this just for starters.
