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.
My great grandfather fought for the union side to stop slavey. On my fathers side of the family my great grandfather’s cousin was General George Mead commanding Gen. who defeated Lee at Gettysburg. It was your fun loving Demacrates that Left the union enorder to keep their slaves. The conservative got you freedom. Send your bill to the DNC.
Leave America trash!
Why some of white ancestors were not even in America at the time a black tobacco farmer became the first legal slave owner of another black man. Find another cause a lot of people could use help, the homeless, the sick, the helpless, get off that gravey train it has to many lumps.
