Taking questions from reporters ahead of a Democratic Party fundraiser in Manchester, New Hampshire, Warren said America has an "ugly history of racism" and outlined her ways to tackle it ‐ including the possibility of reparations.
"We need to confront it head on and we need to talk about the right away to address it and make change," she said.
Warren had said in a statement to The New York Times this week that "we must confront the dark history of slavery and government-sanctioned discrimination in this country that has had many consequences, including undermining the ability of black families to build wealth in America for generations.""We need systemic, structural changes to address that," she said.
On Friday, asked whether she would include Native-Americans in her support for reparations, Warren answered, "I think it’s a part of the conversation. It’s an important part of the conversation."
Her fellow 2020 hopefuls Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) and former San Antonio Mayor Julian Castro have come out in favor of reparations for African-Americans but have so far not gone as far as Warren in opening the door to reparations for Native-Americans.
Shouldn't the descendants of Custer's men get reparations from the Sioux?
