And Escalades. You get an Escalade! And you get an Escalade! Escalades for everyone!

Harvard has an endowment of over $50 Billion Dollars. $100 million is a pittance, and half of that will be eaten up in demagoguery, cronyism and misuse.

[BRL]

Yeah, who gets the 100 million? I say knock the whole school down that is the only way to show true sincerity.

Put the Quit in eQUITy.Give up your job to a POC. Show us you really mean it! Lol

I am curious as to the amount of slavery going on now compared to the rest of history.
I bet there are more slaves alive now than have ever died.
Maybe not.
Half my family were still in Hungary in 1860.
The other half fought for the North.
I say no to all racial buy backs.

$100 million is chump change - practically an insult - compared to all the massive amounts of slave trading profits that formed the basis of the seed capital for Harvard. Slave trading was THE largest industry in New England for many many years. New England was THE slave trading hub for the entire western hemisphere for quite a long while. Adjusted for inflation, the amount of slave trading blood money that went into building up Harvard would amount to tens of billions at least. Harvard should hand its entire endowment over if they are serious about making amends. The same goes for the entire Ivy League. They have no less guilt when it comes to having been founded and built up with slave trading profits.

BLM would do far less harm with that money than Ivy League schools. BLM would simply steal most of it to fund lavish lifestyles for those who are connected. The money would flow right back into the good ole capitalist economy. If the Ivy League schools keep it instead, it goes to fund communist causes.

Hand it all over ya greedy bastards. You’re guilty. That’s blood money jingling in your pockets.

The things the left will do for the midterm votes.

The endowment should be seized and given to poor white people.

They never held slaves and need the money.

[DennisR]

Agreed. People who expect remuneration for ancestor slavery will never be satisfied with it.

"So because someone’s great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-granparent was a slave they get money?"
One of my Massachusetts g-something grandfathers gave ninety bushels of corn to help start Harvard as a college to train the clergy. He should have kept his grain.

I’ve heard it said that there are more slaves today then there was back in the day.

How many Harvard elites are involved in the twin abominations of human trafficking and the sexual enslavement/exploitation of children?

Wait, I’m 100% Native American! Do I get a check automatically, or do I have to sign up for it?

I’m also 1/16 (maybe 1/32, I don’t remember exactly who Grandpa said was the ancestor) Tribal (Chickasaw I think), so does that mean I get a bonus on my check?
