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 $40 trillion on the sum allegedly due blacks as a result of the oppression he claims they have suffered. In another case, a Congressman has introduced legislation to mandate reparations for slavery.
It’s a radical idea as explored on page two.
Well, since Blacks make up the majority of welfare recipients, and whites the major payee into welfare. You all have done got your Reparations. Now it’s time for the black community to get off their$#%&!@*s and go to work.
We did nothing against any of you! That was decades ago and we live in the north that was not affected by slavery! Not one of my ancestors ever owned any slaves! We worked in the hot sun ourselves!
Jayo Peso, not much on actually thinking something through before you let BS flow from your piehole, are you?
Your parents birth country sold them into slavery! Ask them your parents birth countries for reparations! The first slave owner in the US was black! Study your history!
Grow up!!
Just another black trying to get something he hasn’t earned.
