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.
Less than 80 Years ago Not only were the Jews Enslaved. During world War 2 The Goal was their complete extermination! Yet today they are Doctors Lawyers own Companies! You dont see them living in the past Crying about what happened to their ancestors and saying everyone owes them something now do you??? Just admit this is more about being Lazy and Stupid!

This is all about money. Slavery has been gone for hundreds of years. Some people just don’t want to work and be taken care of they just won’t say it.
I’ve been paying
For years it’s called welfare!
Nope.
Uuumm, No. Not hardly.
I’ve never had slaves, no one in my heritage has ever had slaves. We’ve worked for what little we have. Not giving it away to cry babies.
You stupid little man, you want me to pay, ok how much for every slave I have owned? It don’t matter, the total will be the same… $0.00
F**k you inbred$#%&!@*twatwaffle
and blacks should pay for all the damage they caused whites in riots and all the merchandise they stole. So there.
