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.

Blacks should pay back all their welfare !
We’ve paid all we’re going to pay. Get a job
And I bet he’d like some first, right? Why listen to this idiot?
NUTJOB ASSWIPE
So this is my ancestor who was brought here to America, stolen from Scotland, and forced into slavery! Blacks weren’t the only slaves! Get over yourself already!
How about blacks pay reparations to whites for all the whites who died trying to free the slaves from the BLACK MAN that sold them into slavery! This moron is probably related to him!
Then blacks should pay for other blacks crimes
Good luck and don’t forget those Indians want whatever money you get for “inhabiting their lands.”
