Bernie Sanders says 'there should be a study' on slavery reparations by hunterw
NEW YORK — Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders slightly modified his position on reparations when he joined a slew of other Democratic presidential candidates on Friday, saying he now supports studying the possibility of payments.
Sharpton has asked each of the presidential candidates at the convention if they would back the legislation as president.A reparations bill was introduced by Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, D-Texas.“There needs to be a study, but let me also say this, that I think that what we need to do … is to pay real attention to the most distressed communities in America,” he said.
“I think that right now, our job is to address the crises facing the American people and our communities, and I think there are better ways to do that than just writing out a check,” Sanders added. While Sanders only shifted somewhat from his previous rejection of reparations at the National Action Network convention, he did express support for other positions that are priorities for Sharpton and other black activists.
