Presidential candidate Tom Steyer gave his most unequivocal backing yet for reparations in a video uploaded over the weekend.

"In terms of reparations: I'm for reparations, just so you know," he said in the NowThis News candidate forum video.

"Think about this for one sec: 400 years of legalized discrimination and unfairness did the deepest injustice. There's never been an apology. Think—I mean, it's amazing."

The comments are a sharper commitment to the policy than remarks he provided in the summer.

"And I was saying, look, there's no question that there has been injustice, there's no question that we should be addressing it, and the only question is—which is yours—let's have the conversation in public about what's happened," he said in a July interview with CBS News.

Just give them all of your money. There, that's settled.

I think we’ve apologized enough in terms of affirmative action, handouts and quotas over the years.

Why would any sane person ever think that doing more of the same would yield different results?

[Zathras]

Tom has dropped the mask.
:-)
A rich Socialist who wants power above all.

[reg45]

Only Democrats should have to pay reparations - after all they are the party of slavery, secession, segregation,, socialism, and sedition.

[ConservativeDude]

There’s never been an apology.”

Right.

There was never a civil war, or a 13th or 14th or 15th amendment.

Or a civil rights act.

Or welfare.

I watched him at the last debate. He seems to be a clown.

[Jane Austen]

And Tom Steyer is the creepiest person running for POTUS, reminds me of Applewhite. Every time I turn on YouTube, there he is.

[rdcbn]

I’m actually very open to the idea of providing a reasonable lump sum payment to any Black American who was 21 years of age or older when the Civil Rights act took effect.

Seems fair to me.

[faithhopecharity]

if he wants he can pay them, then.
he can afford it, dammmmit
he is loaded with money
loaded.
what he lacks isn’t money, its brains

[Okeydoker]

So anyone 55 or older gets the money?

[Gay State Conservative]

Of course his own Caribbean shell company will be exempt.

[Maskot]

Yep! Gibs all the black pepo yo money den we ahl lib in unicornville!

Go Tom!

[Drango]

I never owned a slave, but to be fair I’ll pay reparations to any living slave who didn’t get emancipated in the civil war.

Steyer is trying to turn #walkaway to #buyback.

REPARATIONS FOR SLAVERY

All of the $$$$
Take a vow to live penniless.

[FoxInSocks]

76 years old, not 55. 21 years old in 1964. I don’t think anyone deserves any money — maybe someone who was actually a slave.

[elteemike]

Anyone who ever owned a slave owes reparations to those slaves...And all parties to the practice of slavery on the North American continent have been dead for over 100 years...There are no living victims or perpetrators...

The rest of us are free and clear, and owe Africans and their descendants nothing! Take your claims to court and see what happens...Simple subtraction of the reparations dollars from the “Great Society” and related taxpayer funded programs already disbursed will find the balance in favor of the taxpaying public owed $$$...

Tom Steyer is a schmuck who’s just looking for the Black vote and what better way than another bribe to that voting bloc, purchased with our tax dollars...Hard to beat “free stuff”...

[Okeydoker]

I stand corrected. You are right. On both counts

[jonrick46]

Steyer needs to get back down to earth and focus on his coal investments. Does he seem to be a pot smoker who has exceeded his limits and hit the ozone layer? I’ll give you a vowel . . .
