From a black preacher on the subject of reparations: "We are consumers. Our community is very materialistic. Our community is financially illiterate," he said. "Nowhere in the country will you find as many 500 credit scores as you find in impoverished areas." Brooks said if the reparations demands were met, "it would be more of a detriment than it would be a help." "Realistically, that money would be given and it would go right back out and our community would be in a worse predicament because now we've been given something instead of being taught to work for it," he said.
