Elizabeth Warren says reparations for Native Americans should be 'part of the conversation'

2020 presidential hopeful Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., expanded on an already-radical proposal on Friday, telling reporters that Native Americans should be “part of the conversation” on reparations for African-Americans -- a move that threatens to bring back her own history with Native Americans.

Taking questions from reporters ahead of a Democratic Party fundraiser in Manchester, N.H., Warren, she said that America has an “ugly history of racism” and outlined her ways to tackle it -- including the possibility of reparations.

“We need to confront it head-on and we need to talk about the right away to address it and make change,” she said.

Warren had said in a statement to The New York Times this week that “we must confront the dark history of slavery and government-sanctioned discrimination in this country that has had many consequences, including undermining the ability of black families to build wealth in America for generations.”

“We need systemic, structural changes to address that,” she said.

On Friday, asked whether she would include Native Americans in her support for reparations, Warren answered: “I think it’s a part of the conversation. It’s an important part of the conversation.”

Her fellow 2020 hopefuls Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif., and former San Antonio Mayor Julian Castro have come out in favor of reparations for African Americans but have so far not gone as far as Warren in opening the door to reparations for Native Americans.

"We have to be honest that people in this country do not start from the same place or have access to the same opportunities," Harris said in the statement to the Times. "I’m serious about taking an approach that would change policies and structures and make real investments in black communities."

With their candidate list so far, I’d have to agree with you.

This is unbelievable.

Taking this position almost guarantees election loss.

Kamala leaving restaurants holding hands with a con artist like Sharpton is also a head scratcher.

Why are they rolling the red carpet out for Donald so early? Do they not even want to make things interesting?

This is for primaries, in real election they will say that they were "misunderstood" or "misinterpreted".
BTW I have <1% Native American ancestry according to genetic testing. Do I qualify for reparations, and if not, how much % ancestry a huperson should have to qualify? I want precise instructions so that my skull can be measured properly, exactly as ADOLF!WARREN! orders!

If it's 'part of the conversation', I'd hate it when the shrill, libby banshee screaming and crying demands begin. She needs Titania McGrath as her chief of staff in order to be woke enough.

She has to match Kamala and Juian, who are for reparations. The Dem identity politics sword cuts both ways. Blacks may turn out for a black candidate, but not a white candidate, unless bearing free shit.

But will Kamala be eligible for reparations? She is half-black, but from Jamaica. Does she therefore pursue reparations from Britain?
