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 $40 trillion on the sum allegedly due blacks as a result of the oppression he claims they have suffered. In another case, a Congressman has introduced legislation to mandate reparations for slavery.
It’s a radical idea as explored on page two.
F**k you libtard
I personally never owned another person and am not responsible for anything that happened before I was born!
The suffering they claim to have endured has been at the hands of their own doing,they sit on their$#%&!@*and expect the working whites to continue supporting their$#%&!@*but they don’t want to acknowledge their own people sold them into slavery,so they can all kiss my$#%&!@*if they think I’m giving em a damn thing

Agree.
Okay “Professor” Dyson, you find someone alive today that participated in slavery back then and have them pay into it because NO ONE today had anything to do with it.
Good comment Burt. How about blacks who owned slaved. You should pay us back for all the lost lives who fought to help your cause. You keep yourself in mind slavery.
