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.
Your crazy if you think any self respecting white person is gonna give you a damn thing ask the self loathing whites they may do it
Barry is gone missed your chance……and no telling what planet killary on

No we paid into social security and politicians used it for themselves and now they want to call it an entitlements. They aren’t we paid all of our lives. And none of you got at least 3 generations have been slaves.
As soon as the generations of blacks pay back the welfare paid by working people of all colors.
We already do its called welfare.
Dyson leave the country see if it’s better some where else.
So exactly to whom do I owe reparations to and why?
We were not around 150 years ago and democrats then had slaves not us or we do not want any so there.
Stuff it.
