An increasingly diverse country poses a problem for proponents of reparations for slavery as many ancestors of Americans arrived after abolition, one expert argues.
Following the murder of George Floyd and the subsequent calls for American society to have a 'racial reckoning,' there has been an uptick in support for reparations for Black Americans, but a new think tank report estimates it would cost taxpayers an estimated $15 trillion to close the Black-White wealth gap.
Proponents of reparations, including Trevor Smith, the Director of Narrative Change at Liberation Ventures, which 'accelerates the Black-led movement for racial repair in the United States,' believe reparations to be a 'shared duty to better our nation for all citizens.' 'This brings me to an undeniable truth: the U.S. government owes both a moral and financial debt to Black Americans,' Smith told Fox News Digital.
