Which brings up an interesting situation. Obama's father is a recent immigrant from Kenya. Obama's mother is white (from Kansas).

Is Keys proposing to pay Obama reparations just because he's black?

The opposite. Keyes is a descendent of slaves so he'd qualify. Obama was not descended from slaves so he does not.

No. The proposal is directly targeted to those who could PROVE slave ancestory.
