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.
620,000 White soldiers died to free the slaves. Decades of welfare and other government assistance. Affirmative Action, Head Start. You already got your reparations! What more do you want!?! This is one gravy train that will NOT leave the station!!
I have never owned a slave and you have never been a slave. WE OWE YOU NOTHING!!!
You stupid fool, come and take it. That way I can exercise my 2nd amendment when you do.
Whites should not pay for anything associated with Africans selling Africans.
Blacks should pay into white reparations for all the white ancestors who died to free them. They owe whites huge!!!
No one is getting paid. There will be war. They already get free hand outs from the plantation called government. If white privilege is real then why am I having such a hard time getting a basic loan? Why isn’t my house paid for? Why do we pay so much for my kids college? Enough is enough. War you want war it will be.
We already have, it’s called welfare!
and that’s not racist
Racial terrorist.
