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 $40 trillion on the sum allegedly due blacks as a result of the oppression he claims they have suffered. In another case, a Congressman has introduced legislation to mandate reparations for slavery.
It’s a radical idea as explored on page two.
HE IS OVER EDUCATED.
Just another idiot
What wildly BS.
Drop dead. Reparation was made to the slaves. You are not a slave and nobody today is a slave. You bring in a slave and we will see.
This is crazy!
YOU SHOULD PAY US BACK FOR YOUR THIEVERY OF AMERICAN TAXPAYERS
No
NEVER!!!!!!!!!
Only if they can prove that they are descendants of the slaves. These freeloaders coming from the jungle countries and middle east now shouldn’t get any because their family didn’t earn them citizenship through slavery. Not all Black people are the same just ask some of the Black people that can trace back to slavery.
A Professor? Reparations? If Logic and Common Sense only exists to these “Highly Intelligent” (sarcasm) Liberals, America would not be in deep$#%&!@* The Professor and his kind has gone….
