I don't see where he made that assertion, but your allegation (even considering its gleaming falsity) makes for a damning accusation -- as is usually the case with false charges of racist tendencies. The Booker T. Washington quote is a powerful one, whether you want to admit it or not.

Slavery was one of the worst mass crimes ever perpetrated on a people, but black people in America are better off than black people anywhere else in the world. And that's a fact.

Reparations would involve taking money from people who didn't own slaves and paying it to people who weren't slaves. That crime would be as egregious as the one that was taken against any member of the black race.
