Dr. Dorothy E. Roberts, who is described by Penn Law as "an acclaimed scholar of race, gender and the law," believes that the United States is run by "patriarchal white supremacists" and that reparations are, in part, the answer to inequity between African Americans and whites. Dr. Roberts teaches at the University of Pennsylvania and has made appearances on MSNBC.
Writing publicly, Dr. Roberts has made her sentiments on race relations in the United States known. The United States, she believes, systematically oppresses people of color. She goes as far as to say that studies on wealth must account for "white supremacy" before releasing their results:
She also feels that African American girls are systematically targeted to further the "patriarchal white supremacist" agenda:
...In the end, the answer to these problems are reparations, Dr. Roberts believes:
Interestingly, however, though Dr. Roberts believes that African Americans should be given money to spend in the market, she is not a fan of capitalism: .

Bring it on you stupid bitch. My family has not one damn thing to do with the failings of anyone.
Come into my zone and lets see how many rounds of .223 go without jamming.
You’re right. I’m surprised that a well-paid professor, even a negro professor, would join in with the gibsmedats.
Maybe absent fathers and 35 year old grandmothers could be part of the problem. And not all those black men in prisons got there because of “injustice.”
Let’s just start with the people at MSNBC paying their taxes....
How about 1 get out of Jail Free Card ?
Yeah, I can’t help but draw certain comparisons to what happened in S. Africa to the Afrikaners and what some are suggesting in this country.
This.
The original slaves were often mistreated and they endured discrimination. However they became 2nd class citizens in a first class country. Their standard of living was vastly improved compared to being a slave in Africa.
Descendants of slaves enjoyed a much improved standard of living but endured discrimination for over a hundred years. It is terrible how blacks were treated in this country but they were still better off compared to being slaves in Africa. The current generation of blacks really have it made compared to Africans. I see no case for reparations. The descendants of American slaves are lucky compared to descendants of African slaves that remained in Africa.
Unfortunately, this is what it will come to. Those who are not prepared to face this reality will be in for some very unpleasant surprises.
Tell this hate-filled wretch that her reparations will consist of an all expense paid, one way trip to the African nation of her choosing, no questions asked.
This has been attempted before, ala: Liberia, and everyone has seen how that worked out.
Fifty years of playing the race card has worn thin. No black person alive today has ever had to endure indentured servitude, or has been legally kept as a slave, therefore they are not entitled to any sort of compensation whatsoever.
They can move back to Africa. Shoot, I will even do my “white” part and buy a 1 way, never to return, ticket for 1 “African” American.
Go dig up those dead white AND black slaveholders and make them pay.
I never had a black slave. My family never had black slaves. I have gone out of my way my whole life to be kind and gracious to Americans of African Descent.
Now, they want me to pay for what someone else 150 years ago did?
Nope.
Wants reparations??? Go to North Africa and demand it there. It was the heart of the slave trade, had it not existed, she wouldn’t be here today. It wasn’t a case of starving victims of Auschwitz/Berkinau and the Gov’t using a final solution. If we go back 150 years, why not 2000, my ancestors were probably slaves of Rome. I believe that maybe she should use herself as an example of what can be be achieved by getting an education without reparations. Equal opportunity doesn’t mean you owe me something, it means you have the same opportunity as everyone else has to make your life better, but YOU are the one who is in charge of that. I believe its called responsibility.
My Great Grandfather settled in Minnesota just four years before the Civil War. His brother, my Great Uncle, has no descendants. He was drafted, then killed while still a teenager, fighting to free the slaves, before he even learned English.
How much more does my family owe?
Dorothy Roberts is a burden on society. She should be let go and told to find a real job commensurate with her abilities, whatever they might be.
I would guess that a very large majority of white, Hispanic, and Asian Americans trace their American roots to sometime AFTER the Civil War, and in millions of cases to after WWII.
C’mon, lady! WHITES ARE superior and supreme! DEAL WITH IT! < /sarc >
Descendants of slaves would not even be alive today without slavery. There ancestors would not have met. Somewhere along the line the chain would have been broken. If being here is such hell, then the only solution is to send them back to the paradise that is Africa.
