None of this is "Reparations" in the actual sense that people want credit for. If we are talking about a cash reparation, you don't need a "policy" for that. You could have a commission come up with an amount and distribution procedure for payments, but that is not "policy" persay. What is being proposed are we should have policies that consciously consider restorative efforts to offset the Black American experience. But if that doesn't count for Bernie or other legislation already in the Senate, then naw, Bootyjudge gets no love for this, yet.

(Verbatim)

KEY POLICY
Create a commission to propose reparations policies for Black Americans and close the racial wealth gap
Black Americans were enslaved and then systematically excluded from full citizenship through laws and policies that purposely relegated Black Americans into second-class personhood and that sanctioned racial discrimination. The effects are ongoing, and exclusionary policies linger. America must enter a new era that promotes political, economic, social, and racial equity in part by specifically reversing the harms of racist policies and practices.

Only by remedying the vestiges of slavery and confronting our nation's shameful history of racism can we move to a place where full freedom is attainable for Black communities.

ADDITIONAL POLICIES
Invest in entrepreneurship and home ownership
Eliminate health disparities, including in maternal and infant health
Defend affirmative action and combat the opportunity gap
Protect and expand voting rights
Support self-determination of Indigenous populations
Redress inequality in our criminal justice system
Dismantle the prison-industrial complex to end the crisis of mass incarceration
