I didn't read that as saying reparations will solve these problems, but as a broader indictment of Bernie's (sometimes implied) assertion that economic justice will lead to racial justice. But that assertion is the same one underlying his rejection of reparations, so reparations become a useful starting point for the conversation. As for what he means by reparations, I would look to his previous article The Case for Reparations. (I'd link but I'm on mobile.)
