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.

IGNORANT. SOOOO FOOLISH
Nope.
F**e news…..my grandparents were slaves….
Get a life……
Blacks owned African slaves in the South. Black Africans sold blacks into slavery.
– Now you think the whites that fought to free you, died, and never enslaved you should pay?
– How are you going to charge the blacks that owned black slaves in the South?
– Are you going to go to Africa to make Africans pay for selling blacks?
– How are you going to charge people that are black and white?
I know for a fact, not every black in America are descendants of a slave. Are they entitled?
You are disgusting!
Question – where would the blacks in American be right now if they had not been brought to America? Do you suppose that they might be illegal aliens from Africa trying to enter the USA now?
Just…$#%&!@*you
More BS from an IDIOT!
Unbelievable no chance
