In a movement reminiscent of the affirmative action debates in the 1970’s, there exists today demands that white Americans pay reparations to African-Americans for centuries of black slavery as well as oppression that persisted even after slavery was abolished in American 150 years ago.
One difference between the two is that while affirmative action required that business and educational institutions take specific actions to to expand the pool of minorities applying for jobs and offer them preferential treatment in the hiring process, the reparations movement would demand that white Americans set aside a portion of their money to be used as direct payment to minorities as compensation for alleged damages they have suffered because of their race.
One African-American professor has gone so far as to place a value of $40 trillion on the sum allegedly due blacks as a result of the oppression he claims they have suffered. In another case, a Congressman has introduced legislation to mandate reparations for slavery.
It’s a radical idea as explored on page two.
What about half breeds? Do we only have pay half or are we excluded? After all think of the turmoil one goes through every…. I mean, man
Dumbass shut up

Muslims first, SINCE they instituted the practice of starting Slavery in Africa!
They were the first to acquire slaves and then started selling the Black slaves and paying the chiefs for the slaves.
The Whites were the last to get into the slave trade! Taught by the Muslims who still had a handle of the African slave market!
The Muslims are one of the VERY FEW that still have slaves in the world. Their Koran says that slavery along with beating wives is legal and promoted along with slavery!
Why not sue the Muslims that have come to America?
