Reparations make no sense at all, but given that Bernie is pretty much the maximum level of cuck a human being can be, and that his entire platform is based on giving free shit to people who don't deserve it, he'll probably support them.

There is no more immoral and racist idea (except Islam) that one can think of than the proposal that the US public should pay people who define themselves as "black" money/payments for things that they did not themselves experience and that the payers did not cause.
Inherited guild is a morally bankrupt notion.
I won't even get into the question of how much the Great great grandchildren of Sally Hemming should pay "blacks".
The immorality of this entire movement should be shoved right in the faces of its supporters.

Will he then also support no more BET and Black Movie Awards? Quotas for all sexes and races in all employment? No more Affirmative Action? Reparations would be complete repayment for everything ever done and should require no more favored status. Otherwise they are just a vote buying scheme.

Sanders is a socialist, so views the world in terms of classes, not race. he believes in equality and doesn't support carve outs and special rewards based on identity politics.
Besides, current laws already support civil damages for anyone living who is/was actually enslaved.
