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.
Asshole race bait yet
Screw you racist black boy.
As soon as you pay back all the welfare we’ll do that
No reparation until the black community pay the families of the union soldiers who died to free the slaves. Oh, don’t forget to ask the families of the blacks who bought and sold blacks to contribute.
WHO hired this racist fucktard and WHY do they both still have jobs?
BS! What an idiot!!
It’s no use trying to explain history to people today. They have had everything handed to them because they have big mouths. They only want to racial divide this country and start another civil war
