Found this on Obama from the Chicago Tribune around the time he ran against Keyes and opposed this form of reparations:
"Asked in Moline about a controversial demand by some blacks for reparations for slavery, Obama spoke about how slavery had left a stain on the country that has yet to be eradicated. Still, he said, he opposes "just signing checks over to African-Americans."
Far from a politician's response, I thought his reply at the debates last night showed that this is not a question with a one word answer. Righting the inequalities in the public school system is a natural first step, imo.
