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 $40 trillion on the sum allegedly due blacks as a result of the oppression he claims they have suffered. In another case, a Congressman has introduced legislation to mandate reparations for slavery.
It’s a radical idea as explored on page two.
That’s funny$#%&!@*u
He should be very happy that a stupid MF can be a professor in America.
what injustice have you suffered you overpaid p***k
Thank you!
Sorry but you are so wrong !! Why don’t you ask that black criminal that beat me up in Oct. 1985 and caused permanent vision and hearing problems to pay me reparations first! I don’t own any black anything because I was not born in the U.S. !!!!
You on Crack?
And they complain about Racism!
FU
Kiss my white$#%&!@* Even if I had a house I would burn it to the ground before giving it to some lazy$#%&!@* idiot that I nor my family had anything to do with. Heck, my family had not even immigrated to America when slavery was even around. Go to school and get a job to earn your place in society. Freeloading racists!
I’ve said it before and will say it again – not over my dead body would I leave you a cent. Not one single penny. You get enough from welfare, food stamps and free education and job preference. That’s enough of the handouts
