Rep. Cori Bush (D-Mo.) introduced a resolution Wednesday to jump-start a long-stalled push for a federal reparations program for Black Americans.
“The only way we get closer to [reparations] is if we start putting forward those bills that speak to it and are very clear about what reparations could look like,” Bush said in an interview.
Opponents of reparation argue that the harms caused by slavery and Jim Crow laws are in the distant past and that it’s unfair to make citizens who have no family ties to slavery or were not involved in racist government policies pay for the misdeeds of others.found just 28 percent of Americans supported reparations, while 65 percent opposed paying cash reparations to the descendants of enslaved Black people. While 46 percent of Democrats favored the idea, 92 percent of Republicans opposed it.
