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.
LMAO Snot wad is nuts

I think wealthy blacks should be the ones doing the giving. It should be their duty to help their fellow black Americans.
Bull pukky
I have been paying since I started working for all you freeloaders
Cut all welfare to everyone…. Give aid on a personal level with Social workers so they can see first-hand the needs of the people… Some may need more than they are getting now, and some may need to be cut off 100%…
Maybe to the american indian but not your racist$#%&!@*
Dyson, you magnify the “hand-out” mentality of the entitled – those who have a welfare mindset that they deserve it be given everything, but truly have nothing that they’ve earned. I guarantee that you will go broke long before you’ll get a bank account filled with reparations. Oh, and by the way, you might have noticed that your idiotic friends have wiped slavery right out of the history books, so there isn’t even a memory, let alone a cause here!!
Im not paying your black$#%&!@*s**t. I dont have white guilt. Im proud of my heritage and my white skin.we kicked the worlds$#%&!@*and took it.live with it and be happy with what you got
Just another moronic, liberal puppet. We took the indians world. If the blacks aren’t happy, go back to Africa.
