Harris says she’s open to reparations; defends record in Black c

Vice President Kamala Harris on Tuesday sought to shore up her support with Black men by calling for legalizing marijuana at the federal level and saying she’s open to reparations. Ms. Harris participated in a town hall-style conversation with Charlamagne tha God on his popular radio show, “The Breakfast Club.” The show has 8 million monthly listeners, which is largely comprised of young Black men. During her remarks, the Democratic presidential nominee touted several policy proposals that are designed to appeal to Black men, such as providing 1 million small business loans to help them jump into “high-demand” industries, and launching an initiative focused on health issues that disproportionately impact Black men. Ms. Harris said during the town hall that she is still open to paying reparations to Black Americans for slavery. “On the point of reparations, it has to be studied and there’s no question about that. And I’ve been clear about that position,” she said before quickly changing the subject to tout her economic agenda. Former President Donald Trump’s campaign immediately hit back at Ms. Harris’ call for studying reparations.
