Friggin’ white guilt parade. It never ends. Pretentious crackers parading their virtue with never ending causes. Attention whores.

[The Toll]

Virtue Signaling with other people’s money is what they would have learned from the University anyway, why not just give them a diploma now?

“.... non-binding referendum ....”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Yeah Right. Lets see these snowflakes put their money where the mouth is and actually do it.

[Red Badger]

It would generate nearly $400,000 a year for programs in communities where direct descendants of the 272 people sold in 1838 now live, such as Maringouin, Louisiana. A board of trustees, half of which would be made up of descendants, would determine which charitable causes to direct the funds toward.

Why not just track down their descendants and give them the money, directly, instead of a charity?................

[Governor Dinwiddie]

Remember H. G. Wells's The Time Machine?

• Eloi = Georgetown students.
   
• Morlocks = Blacks.

[Red Badger]

There are many blacks in America that did not come from slave stock. They or their parents and grandparents immigrated directly from their home countries.

Do they get reparations?....................

Nailed it, succinctly.

[Sacajaweau]

Do it without involving the college because it will likely just turn into a big scam.

[Red Badger]

I’m sure it is a scam.

The moola will eventually find its way into a Democrat campaign coffer......................

[ZOOKER]

Guerrilla war:

Start a rumor in the 'hood that the line for free checks is forming now at the Admin Center.
See how many gibsmedats show up. Fun TV!

Actually, I doubt if one nickel ever gets to any actual descendants of the University's original slaves.

[Red Badger]

Didn’t somebody do some kind of stunt like that a few years back?......................

[Governor Dinwiddie]

Maybe two or three years ago, the Smithsonian or Discovery or PBS did a little series on tracing the genetic makeup of various people, along with some research into their ancestry. Oprah may even have been involved.

One featured guest subject was a loud mouthed militant nasty "Black Nationalist" black woman whom they tested. It turns out her genetic makeup was more than 50% white. She had made a career out of scapegoating and hating white people, and it turns out she herself was mostly white.

I saw a follow-up story that claimed this woman had a complete psychological breakdown and turned into a mess because all the premises of her hateful life had been shattered.
 

[Red Badger]

So it had a happy ending after all..................

If a child of mine told me they voted for this reparation fee, I’d tell them that after seeing their concern, I want to contribute much more than $27. Instead, I’ll rewrite my will and leave everything to this worthy cause.

[Kozak]

Don’t want to hear any bitching about how expensive college is and how they are buried in loans.

[mrsmel]

Then they need to sign legal documents pledging to fork over their salaries when they start earning money (if they ever do, after paying off their student debt). They don’t get decide for me or anyone else that we have to give up our money.

Besides, any debt we had was paid in blood in the Civil War. We owe them NOTHING.

[mrsmel]

Isn’t that always their way? Like lecturing us peons about “climate change” while they jet between their five huge homes.

Do they get reparations?

And what about the descendants of blacks who owned slaves. Do they qualify?
