And regarding Harvard, it isn't enough. They must spend at least 25% of their endowment or they aren't serious. Let's get them to spend enough to at least knock them back a bit.
The reds have infiltrated this organization and are destroying it.
They are like termites.
Not nearly enough. Whites, Asians and Latinx must vacate all student and staff seats.
So because someone’s great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-granparent was a slave they get money?
All the while, Harvard had cotton mills on all four sides. Wonder how long before they’ll puzzle out where all that raw cotton came from - and how rich mill owners contributed to Harvard’s endowment?
The money will go back to Africa, to renovate the slave market in Libya.
[[Harvard University Apologizes for Slavery, Offers $100 Million to Make It Better]]
Bahahahaha- you think that piddly amount makes it go away? Fools!
Better slavery?
Who gets the $100M? Black Lives Matter?
If they’re only going to “study” the matter, they just need half a dozen grad students, some pizzas and a couple cases of beer.
How many slaves did those knucklehead Harvard Yankees have anyway?
My 2nd great grandmother was an indentured servant from Ireland who was raped by her “employer”. Her child was born in a Catholic convent and went on to become my great grandmother.
$100 million will buy a lot of Crown Royal, thats for sure.
Money raised by overcharging current and recent whites for tuition
That’s 0.2% of it’s endowment. Chump change. Half a billion is a good start.
Instead of studying the issue and trying to atone....start good PRIVATE schools in areas which have many descendants of the Harvard slaves. Teach hard work, and intellectual discipline. Make it free and give them a Harvard degree. Then hire them at Harvard or other guilt ridden organizations.
Just open the door and let the descendants get it themselves. If some take advantage it will be good for them. No?
Virtue signaling run amok. 🙄
Appeasement never works.
All it does is fuel the behavior resulting in more of it.
Their demands will then never be satisfied. They will just keep asking for more and more and be convinced that somehow you are still holding out on them.
Most people are misreading where this $100 million will be applied. Reading through the report’s seven recommendations carefully, one sees that the funds never leave Harvard’s control. It is not reparations even for the direct descendents of Harvard slaves (Recommendation 4). They are establishing a fund, but a careful reading of the Recommendations indicates the money will be folded back into Harvard’s actvities. It’s like when they have decide to start a new department, and they allocate money to the effort. It is not money paid to victims to spend as THEY wish.
Works out to be about $50 per descendant, if all of the money went to that alone. Idiots.

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