Mitchell Hartman: 作为记者,我亲身报道了塔尔萨种族大屠杀对当地黑人社区造成的毁灭性打击,以及由此造成的持续至今的种族财富差距。我认为,探讨对黑人美国人的赔偿问题,必须正视历史,认识到奴隶制和种族歧视对黑人财富积累的长期负面影响。塔尔萨的案例只是冰山一角,我们需要在国家层面采取行动,弥合种族财富鸿沟。 Kristen Mullen: 作为《从这里到平等》的合著者,我认为仅仅依靠地方和区域的努力是远远不够的。种族财富差距是一个全国性的问题,需要全国性的解决方案。我们需要重新审视历史,承认奴隶制和种族歧视对黑人社区造成的系统性伤害,并制定全面的赔偿计划,以纠正历史错误,促进种族平等。 William Dougherty: 作为公共政策教授,我研究了美国政府在历史上如何通过各种政策,例如向白人提供免费土地和住房补贴,来帮助白人积累财富,而同时却剥夺了黑人获得这些资源的机会。我认为,赔偿不仅仅是金钱上的补偿,更重要的是承认历史不公,并采取措施纠正这些不公,为黑人社区创造公平的竞争环境。

Last month, Marketplace's Mitchell Hartman visited Tulsa, Oklahoma, where he reported on the history of the area's “Black Wall Street”) and its destruction during the Tulsa Race Massacre more than a century ago. The city's mayor recently announced a $105 million reparations plan. Tulsa joins a number of localities addressing the racial wealth gap, but if addressed federally, the sum would have to be closer to $16 trillion. We'll hear more. But first: how to tell how factories are navigating tariff pivots.
