Ed Gordon‘s all for reparations, and thinks any reasonable person who acknowledges America’s history of racial injustice toward black people should be too … so he’s calling on Joe Biden to take a stance.
The journalist, author of “Conversations in Black: On Power, Politics, and Leadership” and BET staple hosted a virtual NAACP town hall with the presidential candidate Wednesday night, and when asked about reparations … Joe seemed open to the idea but had some stipulations.
Ed joined us Thursday on “TMZ Live” to share his take on the issue of reparations, and also told us whether Biden’s missing the mark.
The Presidential hopeful revealed he wanted Native Americans to be part of any reparations program, but Ed told us why he doesn’t think that’s necessary.
He says the reality is black people have received unfair treatment since the days of slavery up to the present … and it’s way past due to stop denying it.
Not only that, but he believes the onus of rectifying the centuries or racism simply can’t fall on the oppressed — white people need to work on it too.
Watch the clip … sounds like Ed thinks Joe can take a big step forward in the race for the White House, if he figures out a firm position quickly.
