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.

It’s called welfare, you IDIOT!
Jayo Peso Nice try. Blacks receive 25.7% of SNAP payments but account for 13.3% of the US population. Whites receive 40.2% of those payments and account for ~76% of the US population. The math isn’t that complicated.
I think that if this c**p continues for much longer, America will pay into those accounts alright, but in bullets not money. America is fed up with Hereditary Welfare Anarchists trotting out their “Supposed” ancestor’s and demanding “Mo Free Money.” Most of these so called oppressed were not even in this country during the times stated. Neither were their supposed ancestors. Most of these vocal buttheads family came over from the Caribbean and Middle East with the last 75 years. It is just another scam that originated out of Nigeria, Jamaica, Somolia, and Puerto Rico.
