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 $40 trillion on the sum allegedly due blacks as a result of the oppression he claims they have suffered. In another case, a Congressman has introduced legislation to mandate reparations for slavery.
It’s a radical idea as explored on page two.
We used to be a nation of “rugged individualists” and the left (especially Obamanation) has transformed much of America into a nation of victims looking for a legal settlement (either voluntary or imposed). My ancestors not only had nothing to do with slavery (must weren’t even in America until right before the Civil War) but many of them died in the Civil War Fighting to end slavery…… so, the professor can stick his theory in the orifice where it belongs!!!
We pay reperations every month, it’s called WELFARE!!
YOU NEED TO EDUCATE “YOUR PEOPLE” ON HOW TO SUPPORT THEMSELVES!! The problem is clowns like you keep pumping their heads full of hate for whites, and teaching them to demand something for nothing!!!
Tired of paying thrm
You aren’t getting a dime
Professor Dyson—– what is YOUR salary ?
And what kind of injustice was done to you personally? Were you a slave? Seems like your doing very well foryourself being a Professor, which means you have a great education. But no brain.
Man needs too eat a DICK
Your crazy you fool
I can remember a time when it was quite a high honor to be called a professor. Over the past 50 years it has become a title of disgrace associated with being purveyors of socialist doctrine and absolute charlatans.
We should begin holding colleges and professors legally responsible for the irreparable mental damage that they are causing our young people.
This man is a race baiting$#%&!@*
One can only wonder what amount of exposure to socialist propaganda that it must take to replace any rational thought with deeply rooted hate and anger.
