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.
Even Dr. King didn’t advocate this. They have had reparations with section 8,EBT, welfare, etc. If their family had not been bought over hundreds of years ago they would not exist. Their family would have died out a century ago.
I have a logical solution for those groups that want reparations for slavery in the distant past, to end racism once and for all. Why don’t the racists in BLM, the Black Caucus, the Black Panthers, Antifa and the NAACP agree to make reparations for their racism, too. Each side would then cancel the other out and there would be no more racism.
You can suck my balls
Those blacks sure are better off then they would have been if their ancestors had not been brought here as slaves. Their ancestors made the sacrifice not them. Maybe they need to pay the soldiers in blue that fought and died to free their ancestors and the republican party who fought the Democrats to free them
This guy is a muzzy, they still have black slaves today, is he going to pay also?
Just another, “Gimme mo’ uh yo’ money, whitey, and I’ll do alright” b******t! They are attempting to punish all Caucasian’ s, a vast number whose ancestors weren’t even here. Another “I’m entitled cause I is black” method of socialism.
Idiot!Who brought 90% of slaves here?Who was 1st slave owner??Where they better off here or in their 3rd world countries??Where whites slaves?What about the Irish??These people are race baiting fools.George Soros said blacks are easiest to manipulate. Guess he was right
