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.
BS
Screw you
You can’t destroy history. It’s already done. Can’t be changed. You were never a slave and I was never a slave owner. By the way there were black slave owners ( ask obama’s family) and there were white slaves. What you gonna think about that. Dumbass

These people !! They open their mouth and stupidity just flies out of it !
Never.
I owe you nothing. You are getting something from us taxpayers it is called welfare. If you are against slavery get your people off welfare, food stamps, and low income housing then we can talk. Get a job and stop believing you are entitled to what I’ve earned.
