I can't believe you quoted him saying "The reparations we need" and still think he's not for reparations - he says WE NEED THEM - how can it not be any clearer than that ?




Oh please, you can't be that dense...

Lemme get this straight .... in your mind, such as it is, improving schools is synonymous with reparations for slavery?

Sounds like someone needs some comprehension reparations.

He was asked straight up if he was for reparations for slavery - Obama answered positively, in my mind saying: "yes - we need reparation money - and I would take said reparation money and invest it in black schools".

It always boggles my mind how some can TOTALLY MISINTERPRET a statement.   Granted I won't be voting for either Obama or McCain in November, BUT, how can he say he quotes, and someone else is hearing something entirely different?   

MT hit the nail on the head though.   Definitely a case of Obama being "miscomprehended".

When the moderator asked all of the candidates "who is for reparations" only Dennis Kucinich said he was for them. That seems pretty definitive to me.

well in medievel times my family would have been living under the feudal system, so I demand reparations in the form of a lifetime supply of turnips!

You do know what can happen to neutron stars right ?  I better not say it.

i'd be more concerned about the guy that asked the question? he looked to be in 30's or 40's? and he can barley talk?

  is african americans going to git repirations?  i know yall are gonna dance around this. :huh

he should consider going back to school(college possibly) and learn to speak properly.

Just wondering... was Obama's example of reparations (in the form of investing in education) an artful slam on the (clearly uneducated) fellow posing the question ?  If so I have to admit it was very clever.   :rofl
