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 $40 trillion on the sum allegedly due blacks as a result of the oppression he claims they have suffered. In another case, a Congressman has introduced legislation to mandate reparations for slavery.
It’s a radical idea as explored on page two.
Fk this moron scumbag!
Professor Dyson, that system already exists, it’s called WELFARE!
No race owes any other race anything. Stop playing the victim game. You sir are not a victim of anything. Get over yourself. God created people differently to teach us respect for one another. People who commit crimes are not representative of a race, they are just criminals with their own selfish and destructive agenda. Stop with this who racist nonsense.
We will pay into an account to ship them all back to the homeland! We are sorry for what our ancestors and yours did! Now get the heck over it or move some where else
Go to hell
Just keep smokin’ that crack, professor.
Get completely over yourselves. You are the radicals who bring this up all the time. All you do is keep it going. Black Americans have been free from any bondages of past. If you are still stuck there that’s your fault not anyone elses. Let go and begin living like other Americans , white, black, all ethnic groups. Or stay where you are and go no where always blaming others for your own choices. Life is short don’t spend it allowing others to plan your destiny and future.
I agree. Everyone who personally owned slaves or whose great grandfather owned slaves should play. Putz. I wonder if he would relocate his house and give it back to the tribe of Native Americans that originally populated that area. Bet not.
Deport this$#%&!@*wipe, but first brand him. Amen.
Reparations need to be paid for all the Dead and wounded UNION SOLDIERS and specifically their surviving family members…..these are the folks who fought died and suffered to FREE Black slaves in the South that was controlled by the democrats….
