(biz cumhurbaşkanını son anda öğreniyoruz adamlar 1 sene öncesinden

youtubeda program var ama bulamadım şimdi

QUESTION: Hello, America. Hello, presidential candidates. This is Will from
Boston, Massachusetts. And I hope, you know, they put this question on.
It's a question in the back of everybody's head.

You know, in some people, it's further back than others, collecting
cobwebs. But is African-Americans ever going to get reparations for
slavery? I know you all are going to run around this question, dipping and
dodging, so let's see how far you all can get.

COOPER: Senator Edwards, no dipping and dodging. Should African-
Americans get reparations?

EDWARDS: I'm not for reparations. I can answer that questions. But I think
there are other things we can do to create some equality that doesn't
exist in this country today. Today there was a report that, right here in
Charleston, African Americans are paying more than their white
counterparts for mortgages than any other place in America, any other
place in the United States of America.

(APPLAUSE)

EDWARDS: And here's an example. What is the conceivable explanation for
this, that black people are paying more for their mortgage? And, by the
way, it's not just low-income African Americans; it's high-income African-
Americans. There's absolutely no explanation for this. It goes to the basic
question that I raised just a few minutes ago.

To have a president that's going to — is going to fight for equality, fight for
real change, big change, bold change, we're going to have to somebody —
we can't trade our insiders for their insiders. That doesn't work. What we
need is somebody who will take these people on, these big banks, these
mortgage companies, big insurance companies, big drug companies. That's
the only way we're going to bring about change. And I will do that as
president.

(APPLAUSE)

COOPER: Senator Obama, your position on reparations?

(APPLAUSE)

OBAMA: I think the reparations we need right here in South Carolina is
investment, for example, in our schools. I did a...

(APPLAUSE)

I did a town hall meeting in Florence, South Carolina, in an area called the
corridor of shame. They've got buildings that students are trying to learn in
that were built right after the Civil War. And we've got teachers who are
not trained to teach the subjects they're teaching and high dropout rates.
We've got to understand that there are corridors of shame all across the
country. And if we make the investments and understand that those are
our children, that's the kind of reparations that are really going to make a
difference in America right now.

COOPER: Is anyone on the stage for reparations for slavery for African-
Americans? Are you?

KUCINICH: I am.

The Bible says we shall be and must be repairers of the breach. And a
breach has occurred.

KUCINICH: We have to acknowledge that. It's a breach that has resulted
in inequality in opportunities for education, for health care, for housing, for
employment. And so, we must be mindful of that. But it's also a breach that
has affected a lot of poor whites as well. We need to have a country which
recognizes that there is an inequality of opportunity and a president who's
ready to challenge the interest groups — be they insurance companies or
mortgage companies or defense contractors who are taking the money
away from the people who need it.

COOPER: Time.

KUCINICH: Yes, I am for repairing the breach. Yes, I am for reparations.
