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 $40 trillion on the sum allegedly due blacks as a result of the oppression he claims they have suffered. In another case, a Congressman has introduced legislation to mandate reparations for slavery.
It’s a radical idea as explored on page two.
Nutty talk. Again blacks don’t want to work, want it free
KISS MY LILY WHITE$#%&!@* MF!!!!!!
What ever you do, don’t ditroy the Southern civil war grave yards, that’s where you going to get your reparations from those people buried there. This is America, you can’t punish the decedent’s for the crimes of their Ancestors. And if they didn’t commit the crimes you can’t punish decedent’s of the innocent at all. If you want money, work for it.
We have – taxes used for welfare, used to rebuild after riots, etc.
You need to address the violence within your own communities…whites didn’t cause blacks to murder blacks.
Blacks that have used the welfare system should pay the “Welfare Dept. Account” for System Injustice because our tax dollars were used to support them.
