He was against reparations a month ago. By mid-May he'll be for cutting million dollar checks for blacks.

The more you give the more they want.

As usual, the Liberals are always happy to give away other people's money...and take the credit for how “caring” they are.

A much more appropriate apology would be for “The Great Society” / welfare entitlements. It contributed to the disintegration of black families more than anything else.

Oh for Pete’s sake Bernie. You already spent trillions of dollars creating those low income communities out of former productive cities. What more can you do?

I didn’t know that there were any slaves still alive.

The phrase, “throwing good money after bad” comes to mind.

I am OK with this if we subtract damages for rape murder robbery riots etc which the descendants of the slaves have committed. I have been assaulted several times by feral thugs, relatives of mine have either fought for the Union or been injured while policing black ghettos. My father hired more blacks than blacks hired members of my family.

But he's Jewish! Shouldn't he be asking for reparations from the Egyptians for enslavement during the time of Moses?
I'm sure he's old enough to remember that..

Create an environment conducive to job creation if you really want to help Bernie. I thought socialists were supposed to be all about working.

It’s odd that he says low-income districts....because as you look across all of the nation, there are various trailer-parks where there are no minorities or blacks....but in low-income districts....so the reparations he’s talking about....end up as just free money for anyone, but not really blacks. So Latinos, whites, whatever....end up with free money.

Bernie , and his Polish Jewish ancestors , can speak for himself . Me and my Southern kin suffered over 260,000 in Mr. Lincoln’s war and we aren’t apologizing to anyone .
and ps : reparations my ass ....
To: 2ndDivisionVet
If Sanders had slaves he can make his own apologies and pay reparations out of his own pocket.

I’m sure glad the USA has lots of spare cash lying around to give away for votes.
Hey Brother Bernie, how’s about tossing your $170,000 income towards me, 100%, for the next 30 years?
Or at least half of it?
