Foes and advocates of reparations debate the issue in interviews with Fox News Digital as the push for direct payments to Black Americans grows across the country.
Jesse Rhodes, a political science professor at the University of Massachusetts-Amherst who polled Americans about their opinion of reparations, told Fox News Digital that strides are being made at the local level because of"political feasibility."
Andre Perry, a senior fellow at Brookings Metro, said reparations are not uncommon in America, citing payments to Japanese Americans interned during World War II and different forms of compensation for Native American groups. "This is about our civic obligation to those who are citizens, who are our civic brothers and sisters," Perry added.
"It's not just about programs," he said."It's also about a formal apology and an acknowledging that racism robbed people of the opportunity to grow."Richard Epstein, a senior fellow at the Hoover Institution, said calculating the costs for reparations owed is not realistic. DeRoy also mocked the MORE mayor group for nearly half of its 13 members coming from non-slave states.
