She didn't say what Tariq tried to make it sound like she said, though.
I find it odd that TLR has plenty of energy to attack left wingers and frequently parrots right wing talking points, but then again, you have admitted 4channers over there as crowd favorites.
Ignoring Tariq this is what she said:
"But really economically speaking reparations are for the damage by the New Deal and Redlining"
She said economically the most damage was more so done by the New Deal than slavery. Every (serious) scholar points to slavery as the core event for the disenfranchisement of African-Americans. By saying the New Deal was the core event you are essentially not only creating a giant ass timeline gap(ignoring reconstruction, Jim Crow, Black Codes and every other predatory laws prior to the 1930s that targeted AAs), but redefining what reparations means for AAs as you are downplaying the importance slavery played in disenfranchizing AAs.
I don't even have anything against AOC. But fact is she botched that reparations statement. And idk about TLR but the AADOS is not attacking left wingers randomly instead letting them know they want specifics and that they are not guaranteed a vote just because they are left-wing. Right-wingers ALREADY KNOW they are NOT getting the Black/AA vote. You wanna know why the AADOS crowd is acting like thus? HERE'S WHY!
