Georgetown University professor and author Michael Eric Dyson says white people should keep an individual reparations account to make donations to black groups and atone for Americas history of slavery and racism.
Mr. Dyson was discussing his forthcoming book, Tears We Cannot Stop: A Sermon to White America, with New York Times Magazine when he touched on a subject in his book that talks about white people making reparations on the local and individual level.
The Times Ana Marie Cox said Mr. Dyson suggested donating to the United Negro College Fund or paying the black person who cuts your grass double what you might ordinarily pay.
Look, if it doesnt cost you anything, youre not really engaging in change; youre engaging in convenience, Mr. Dyson said. Youre engaged in the overflow. Im asking you to do stuff you wouldnt ordinarily do. Im asking you to think more seriously and strategically about why you possess what you possess....

I argree with him. Whites should keep individual reparations accounts. White DEMOCRATS, that is.
Actually, they shouldn’t keep them. They should give them away to random black people.
As for us non-Democrat white people. We should KEEP our money.
The black person who cuts your grass with oregano is probably charging you double already.
Ha. “Tears We Cannot Stop.” I hope within a couple of years the country as a whole is laughing at drama queens like Dyson.
yea right...lol..hell America has been paying handout reparations for generations, main reason for housing collapse is giving loans to folks who could not afford it with the idea it would be the “fair “ thing to do just give them the house on the taxpayers dime...etc .....
This guy needs a short trip off a long dock. He is certifiably crazy. And the lucky parents of Georgetown students get to pay the big bucks so their offspring can be told a mixture of lies and heavily biased info in an attempt to warp their minds to the extent this mutt’s is.
Including the slaves that now live on the liberal plantation? That's a lot of them!
We were talking about this
Sounds like a real good man. Give him my regards.
I’ll send a couple bucks when Dyson sends me my first wagon load of cotton.
Thinking that WASPs should then be setting up reparations account for Irish indentured servants
LOL
I believe in reparations. For the first 250 years of Europeansu settling in North America, blacks got a free ship ride, as well as free room and board. MY ancestors had to pay for everything. Black folks owe us big.
I do have a reparations account ready in my safe. Payment will be made in gold, 230 grains at a time... Remington Golden Saber and Speer Gold Dot. No need to hurry. I have plenty to go around.
Because I own an alarm clock and am not afraid to use it.
White people should tithe to America’s indigenous urban peoples.
In the Summer of 1969 I came close to giving reparations to 8 Black youths. I was going to an Asheville Tourists baseball game with my date.
They were in a white Pontiac convertible, blocked me in and began piling out of the car. I had a Browning Hi-Power with 13 + 1 shots plus a spare with another 13, and reached for it.
They saw what I was doing and jumped back in and took off.
It was lucky for all involved as carrying the Browning in North Carolina was illegal at the time.
Although I realize that shooting 8 people is not something to take lightly, I was ready to do it and I don’t think I would have felt any regrets except as mentioned, as to what the law would have done to me.
My ancestors never owned slaves. No need.
yeah. There’s that!
Yet another example that it's possible to educate someone far past their ability to think.

And blacks should be keeping a tally of the black entitlement reimbursements they receive in various ways because their great-great-great grandfathers might have been slaves - at the end of each year they can match theirs against the totals of the whites to see who owes who what.....
My reparations account is in crates of metal. Small pieces of explosive metal. And lots of them.
