Keyes is pro-reparations?

I actually voted for that guy in the primaries. Twice, as I recall.

Do you have a link or source for that? It should be remembered and publicised.

Absolutely; it was one of his key points in his Senate race.

Keyes didn't favor just cutting checks. Keyes thought blacks (I guess figuring out which were descendants of slaves, and which not, was too administratively difficult, so Colon Powell gets to not pay taxes too) should get an income tax holiday, and not have to pay taxes for some period of time, I don't remember how long. Of course, for those blacks who don't pay income taxes, well, they are left out in the cold. It was sort of reparations light for more well to do blacks, I guess as a reward for their success in overcoming it all.
