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.
sounds good to me
great idea
Whites died freeing the slaves. The problem with blacks is other blacks preying
On them.
This is totally stupid…….why is this even a discussion?
Up yours!

So sorry check it was the blacks that had the slaves to sell,it’s not going in this life time
That’s all you people talk about White people pay more money duck to death of all the BS.
Get off the Whites should pay b******t !!
An American native will not tell you this cause this is the land of god people that was put among this land. Until the laws that was put against the people are broken, the value for all people will never never be put together , dishonest will always be there just like when Jusus came to fix this. There will be a pain , a very hard pain man’s will have to pass through and this is a pain that you feeling and within this man will not make it through. It just simple life we need to live , so simple.
