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.
This is a grown man plying this silliness. Let’s just say for the sake of argument that we did that, do you believe that the blackmail would ever stop? Slavery did not destroy blacks, they were amazingly courageous through that, they were ruined in America by welfare. We taught them to expect something for nothing and this is the result. The blackmail would be endless and they would be truly destroyed.

Blacks should PAY into an account to repay for the lives lost freeing the slaves in the Civil War!!!
Not happening
No sir, you yourself did not suffer. Your elders may have, but most likely you squandered your opportunity in life. Next !
Blacks should pay for all their freebies. They don’t realize the Democrats have done this to them.
