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 $40 trillion on the sum allegedly due blacks as a result of the oppression he claims they have suffered. In another case, a Congressman has introduced legislation to mandate reparations for slavery.
It’s a radical idea as explored on page two.
Wrong! Nope
WE DO IT’S CALLED WELFARE
Seems to me that everyone who has owned a slave has paid. The rest of the people are constantly supporting the slave mentality among people who reside in this country with out contributing and that includes all races, sexes, nationalities. If you do not work you are a drain on society! Grow up people and accept personal responsibility for yourself and your offspring. All children have 2 parents and they both need to be responsible!
I’m Irish your not getting a fucking dime
Already have many times over!
I think the blacks should be paying into a reparations fund to pay the whites for having to put up with their whiney$#%&!@*bs that we have had to put up with for way too long. Slavery was abolished. Now its time for you to get up off your dead$#%&!@*and make a life for yourself. I’ve seen many black engineered, scientists, politicians, lawyers, business owners and doctors that have succeeded. There’s no reason why the rest of you can’t do the same and quit relying on the white man to support your lazy$#%&!@*
Stick your head In the toilet!
I don’t think so!!! You need to be paying taxpayers back for all the welfare we have handed out to you. We owe you nothing!!!!!!
B******t. Why don’t you blacks get jobs.
Why??
