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 $40 trillion on the sum allegedly due blacks as a result of the oppression he claims they have suffered. In another case, a Congressman has introduced legislation to mandate reparations for slavery.
It’s a radical idea as explored on page two.
NO FUC&ING WAY !!!
Who are the stupid white people that ask you that, becouse I do not own nothing to no body!!!
Kiss my lilly white$#%&!@*
this professor must be fired for causing trouble in things he knows nothing about, he is only trying to stir people up with his racist statements.
Blacks put blacks into slavery and owned more slaves than many whites ever did! Now, how does this racist person determine which blacks are going to put their money into such a phoney bank account!? Blacks want to be kept up, get over it, not happening! I have black friends and none of them think like this at all! What is y’all’s dumb problem?
Dear Professor – GET A GRIP on REALITY mister
Do everyone a favor hold your breath until It’s done
Remember some of the chiefs in African nations sold their own people, time to get over this pity party and make something of yourself
You live in the freest most generous nation on the planet! LIVE!!!
BS. They have the same right to an education which could give them a career. I’ve had many black friends, but none that were blood suckers
Time to create a hate law to protect the majority in this country from the minority
