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.

Sick of hearing this garbage, maybe you should start a reparation account for all the men and women who died to set you free
They will pay to watch losers like yourself hang in public!
Today’s Liberalism and Progressivism are Cowardice, lazy, entitled and incapable of truth… This cancerous mentalities devouring the world.
LIBERALISM is America’s #1 Enemy! They are the only ones who are laying down with their legs spread wide open along with the door to America, inviting Islam and Anti-American elements into America. If you don’t destroy the sick Liberal cancer devouring America you might as well hand your kids and grandchildren over to Islam!
Fight back now or be devoured!
So true
NEVER been prejudiced ! STARTING TOO! ZERO GUILT!
Let’s be clear, it’s never going to happen!!! And coming from a man with a higher education, only shows he did not earn his education it was given to him because of his color. This is the poster child for a racist group.
Blacks should learn the real history of the USA about slaves no one should be giving you money get off of your$#%&!@*and get a education and go to work school is free for every child
How about every black American born in THIS AWESOME civilization created by WHITE man pay all white people reparations! HELL look at Africa today! I’m seeing the same Commercials I have seen for 30+ years of potbellied starving kids who walk 10 miles to fetch a pail of parasite ridden water! KISS THE GROUND YOU WALK ON!!!! KISS A WHITE MANS SHOES! Another funny thing I notice is its ALWAYS WHITE CHRISTIANS feeding , clothing ,medicating and begging for money for them!!!!
i wonder who paid for his education.???
Another handout.
My family migrated to these United States in the 30’s and 40’s, but just because I am Caucasian I have to pay? That’s ‘Racist’. All ‘Slaves’ are dead, All ‘Slave-Owners’ are Dead, and this Idea from Dyson and others like him should follow suit.
