Daily Mail: Obama calls for reparations for black Americans because the 'wealth of this country was built on the backs of slaves' - but says he couldn't get it done as president due to the 'politics of white resistance' 

 * Obama said reparations would have been met with 'white resistance' in a Renegades: Born in the USA podcast episode with Bruce Springsteen 

 * During his 2008 presidential campaign, Obama appeared to oppose reparations 

 * Reparations are payments made and programs created to help the descendants of slavery 

 * Obama said 'the talk of welfare queens' and 'the undeserving poor' would have made a reparations program 'counterproductive' 

Former President Barack Obama claimed reparations for black Americans are 'justified' but explained in his podcast with Bruce Springsteen that it was a 'nonstarter' during his presidency because of 'white resistence'. 

During his 2008 presidential campaign, Obama appeared to oppose reparations and argued that 'the best reparations we can provide are good schools in the inner city and jobs for people who are unemployed.'
