There’s a growing demand coming from the fringe — well, let’s hope it’s the fringe — demanding reparations for sufferings caused by slavery in America as well as for the sufferings, primarily of African-Americans, in the years since its abolition. It’s a radical idea that cannot be supported economically or ideologically.
Before going further, it must be stated emphatically that the practice of slavery is abhorrent. That it occurred in America is a stain on our history. That it occurred throughout the world for millennia, is a stain on humanity. No amount of words will remove the fact that this inhumane practice has been part of the human condition. Those who worked for its abolition deserve our admiration and gratitude.
However, demands for trillions of dollars in reparations to the descendants of those who suffered under slavery in America in not supportable. More on page two.

White people owes all blacks, a lot, that is , a lot of kicks in the back side, help them get out of public housing and food stamps, and earn their own way.
The party of Slavery was the Democrats… they even took our nation to Civil War in order to keep it. Then after losing, the Democrats unleashed their KKK to commit atrocities upon Black America. The Democrats are also the party of Segregation, Jim Crow Laws, voting Against the 13th, 14th & 15th Amendments, Racism, Bigotry and a purposely designed to Fail Civil Rights movement. Sadly Black America swallows the Kool-aid of the Democrat Party and is still enslaved by them today. You want Reparations…. get your $$ from the Democrats !!! They owe you Big !!!
Good luck with that.
You racist piece of trash. You get everything free now. Because you are black.
This professor is just another black man seeking his 15 minutes of fame. No one cares.
