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.
You are full of it man.seems like you need a straight jacket and a padded cell. Go to hell.
Your reparations are found only in Christ look around at the hatred of all different people groups look at the Jews in Germany of which I am one accept Christ as your savior and he will make you a king and a priest, secret country whose Builder and maker is in the heavens you’ll be rich beyond measure
Exactly!!!!!
Blacks should pay whites that are descendants of civil war soldiers who fought to free you blacks and my grandfather fought in the union army So Dyson bring me your reparation payments
Never going to happen black boy.
One of the biggest slave owner was a black man.
If you black folks want the civil war monuments taken down to bury the past then it all get buried. So we going just forget about erry thing to. No slavery no nothing it never existed. Good luck on the money, I don’t owe you a damn thing.
