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.
No no no.
Blacks owe each other 100 times more for inflicting on each other.
Are they going to pay back all they have already received
the professor shoudl know his history , it was his own people tha tsold them into slavery by selling them to the spaanardr relative in africa
If you can find a white person that has owned a Slave in this country that still alive then maybe you should get some money but I really doubt you’ll find anybody all you people are trying to do is get free money nobody alive today in this country owned black slaves my family never owned slaves you want money talk to the Democrats they’re the ones that had slaves all you have to do is look up your history people
The Professor needs to check his facts – more black slave owners than whites:
