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 $40 trillion on the sum allegedly due blacks as a result of the oppression he claims they have suffered. In another case, a Congressman has introduced legislation to mandate reparations for slavery.
It’s a radical idea as explored on page two.
It never owned slaves you never picked cotton
So shut up
You should seek Reparations from the democrat party they are the only slave owners in America, but they have all races in their chains. (P S then and now)
I have cash! You come over and get it!
Paying reparations to blacks is insulting blacks! Do they not realize that? That’s saying they’re not qualified or good enough to be a successful person in their own right! It diminishes their worth! What a shame for anyone who buys into this. When we let someone label as as LESS, someone that needs compensated, that is an insult to ANYONE with ANY PRIDE!
Minority should get off of their lazy$#%&!@*and become Americans.
He is out of his gourd! I did NOT do anything bad to him or any other black person!!! He should pay me !!!
My family never owned slaves, I’m not paying for this c**p, they need to go after the blacks that bought and sold slaves their own kind did most of this to themselves, we are not responsible for something that happened years ago , we were not even born yet, how stupid are these jerks, they just don’t want to work and get themselves better, they want everything free.
For what??? Blacks started slavery go after your own SON…
