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.
Never gonna happen.
F**k off. The US has done as much for racial equality as any country. reparations have already been paid.
What a moron
White people owe you nothing. You’re one of those people who thinks if somebody owes you something and you want to get all you can free. You have nothing coming at all, and will never get a penny from me.
That’s a real knee slapper
BS you just want more free rides.you have No ideal that your own sold you out.
America has paid retribution for years in the form of Welfare! Housing, food stamps and Medicaid! And only God knows what else. Get out there and excel personally and find your self worth! Stop playing the VICTIM! I had an abusive ex-husband! Does that make me a Victim? Hell no, that makes me a survivor! If you create the troubled situation you cannot claim to be a VICTIM!!!
Maybe these people that spout this c**p should pay us whites for all the BS we have had to endure so Blacks can get ahead such as affirmative action
You black assholes are out of your mind you sick fucks!!!!!!!
Black slaves were sold by blacks if you want money go after your own race . Leave whites out of it you hypocrite racist. Go read about slavery and how they got here .
