Former Democratic presidential candidate Tom Steyer explained the reasoning behind his support for reparations to black Americans, calling on people of all races to talk about systemic racism “overtly.”

“When I was running for president, I talked about structural racism in America every single day,” Steyer told uPolitics’ founder Erik Meers. “And I was for reparations for black people because I felt that… we absolutely cannot paper over, we have to talk about it overtly, we have to deal with the structural impacts, and there have to be reparations for centuries of structural injustice.”
