Fox News Digital explored the case for and against reparations by hearing directly from influential voices within the African-American community, highlighting the varied perspectives on the contested issues.
South Carolina congressional candidate Gregg"Marcel" Dixon told Fox News Digital that,"Reparations is about a debt that is due. It is not to fight against racism. It is not to punish White people.

You know, I hate to politicize it, but this is what they do, that they see this as a way to get Black Americans all excited about 2024, believing that if they elect a Democrat president, that somehow that person will push it through Congress," Dr. Swain said.
