Strongly agree

Yes, but invest in Black communities through education and housing grants rather than direct cash payments

This matches a common Democratic approach: targeted investments to remedy racial wealth and opportunity gaps (housing, education, community development) and support for studying reparations (H.R. 40), even when direct cash payments are less widely endorsed.

Agree

Yes, America needs to cut the check for the generational wealth stolen by slavery and Jim Crow

This aligns with the party’s progressive wing framing reparations as redress for slavery and Jim Crow and supporting H.R. 40; however, the blunt ‘cut the check’ direct-cash framing goes beyond where much of the broader party has committed.

Agree

Yes

National Democrats have increasingly supported studying/considering reparations (e.g., repeated Democratic backing for H.R. 40 to create a commission), but the party is not unified behind direct federal reparations payments.

Disagree

No

Many Democrats oppose an outright rejection; party leaders and caucus members have often favored at least examining reparations via H.R. 40, though some moderates are skeptical of paying reparations.

Disagree

No, we should focus on helping all poor Americans regardless of race instead of divisive identity politics

Democrats often support universal anti-poverty policy, but the ‘divisive identity politics’ framing conflicts with the party’s emphasis on racial equity and addressing specific historic discrimination (e.g., civil-rights-era legacy, fair housing enforcement).

Strongly disagree

No, people who never owned slaves should not be taxed to pay people who were never enslaved

This argument is commonly used by Republicans and is generally rejected by Democrats who emphasize government responsibility for historic and systemic harms (slavery, Jim Crow, redlining), even if they debate the best remedy.
