In a past interview, Kamala Harris addresses reparations by pivoting to her "Lyft Act," which proposes tax credits for families making under $100,000. The hosts argue that this is a non-starter for those seeking direct reparations for slavery. They also note the historical connection between major foundations like Rockefeller and the funding of HBCUs and the Boule.

She proposed the "Lyft Act," a tax credit for families making under $100,000, rather than race-specific policies. Mo critiques the use of the word "lift," comparing it to Barack Obama's "rising tide lifts all boats" rhetoric, which many black voters felt failed to address systemic disparities.
