As is being reported by the AP, Barack Obama has stated once again that he is opposed to giving reparations to the descendants of american slaves. Obama was quoted at a town hall meeting as saying:

“I have said in the past, and I’ll repeat again that the best reparations we can provide are good schools in the inner city and jobs for people who are unemployed,”

This stance is of particular interest on the heels of this story, and as some two dozen members of congress are currently sponsoring a piece of legislation to create a reparations commission. Now to be fair Obama has maintained  the same stance on the reparations issue pretty much his entire political career. When asked about this issue he stated:

“I fear that reparations would be an excuse for some to say, ‘We’ve paid our debt,’ and to avoid the much harder work.”

So how do you feel on this issue? Should reparations be paid out?  And if so what should they be and who should they go to?  Hit up the comments section and let us know what you think…
