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.

What an$#%&!@*hole.
Ridiculous…No hand outs…Work like the rest of us have to…
stupid talk.
Yeah and give their houses and assets to a black family, right? Going right down the gutter with BLM?
This ignorant racist has no business teaching in any capacity . If anybody’s owed reparation for that it would be the people who had slaves but their long dead and gone. Blacks would owe them because of all they had done for and invested in them and there families. If anybody owes the blacks it would be their own people in Africa who sold blacks as slaves and still do to this day…. Yes most Muslim countries still have and sell their own people as slaves
You’re dreaming Professor……
If this is an example of a Liberal black professor, he’s actually very stupid. Only 1% elites owned slaves. Majority of whites were poor colonists, farmers, pioneers and settlers. A lot of whites immigrated after the Civil War. Also a lot of blacks immigrated after the Civil war. So how do they which blacks descended from slaves and which white people didn’t have anything to do with slavery. This dumb professor better learn his American history. With professors like him no wonder our college kids are so ignorant.
go straight to hell
