Castro and others come out in favor reparations.

47. If you want Reparations, you have to solve four problems

Problem 1: Who pays?

Who pays the money for reparations: everyone? Are African Americans excluded? What about African Americans who aren't descended from Slaves? What about Whites who ARE descended from Slaves? What about Native Americans?

Problem 2: Who benefits?

Does the money go to individuals or to services? If individuals, which ones? Do you have to prove you were descended from Slaves? what if you don't have documentation? What if you're rich and successful?

Problem 3: What then?

Once you've paid reparations, is the balance sheet clear? Do we eliminate Affirmative Action and MBE requirements?

Problem 4: Who's Next?

Do we provide Reparations for Native Americans (all the same problems apply)? hispanics? Alaskans? Hawaiians? How much of our budget goes to balancing the books?
