AUSTIN, Texas (AP) – Democratic presidential candidate Julian Castro isn’t ruling out direct payments to African-Americans for the legacy of slavery – a stand separating him from his 2020 rivals.
“If under the Constitution we compensate people because we take their property, why wouldn’t you compensate people who actually were property,” the former Obama-era housing secretary and ex-San Antonio mayor said on Sunday.
Castro was among the last of a pack of 2020 candidates to speak at the South by Southwest Festival in Texas, in what amounted to one of the biggest gatherings of the Democratic field yet.

Give every ex slave that is still alive a billion dollars each.

Does anyone think actual reparations will be paid?
It would be tied up in counter-lawsuits and appeals for months.
Where would the money come from?
This is nothing but an issue designed to sow division and hatred among black Americans.

People cannot help the way they look......but yeah, you’re correct ; )
