The push for reparations for African American descendants of slaves has gained new fervor recently. Nearly all democratic candidates for the presidency have spoken on the topic of reparations, some are for and others against them. Senate majority leader, republican Mitch McConnell said last week that he was against the idea, in part because "we elected an African American president." The House Judiciary Committee held hearings last month on a proposed bill H.R. 40, this proposal would create a commission to study reparations for slavery and subsequent discrimination. The question about who should receive reparations has also been the subject of many arguments on social media. The ADOS(American Descendants Of Slaves) movement created by Antonio Moore and Yvette Carnell, has been fueling the debate on Twitter under the hashtag ADOS. Our panel discusses the issues of who is Black and who deserves reparations.
