Activists demand major university pay reparations

Tulane University in New Orleans owes reparations to the descendants of people who generations ago worked the land on which it sits, student activists contend.

Prior to its founding in 1834 as a medical school, the land was agricultural and presumably was worked by servants or slaves.

Now the university's Black Student Union is asking officials to identify the people who worked the land and give money to their descendants along with free tuition and other benefits, the Washington Free Beacon reported.

Yeah. We should pay them “reparations”.
Give em back what was taken from the ancestors: a loin cloth, a spear and a free one-way boat trip back to Africa.

Bankrupt major universities by forcing them to pay reparations?

Sounds like a great idea to me.

Sounds good to me. Tulane is just another indoctrination center. I’m sure they taught these little pinheads exactly this style of shakedown.

They should fund it through student reparations fees.

Presumably?? How about this? Presumably all the people were worked at the university in the 1800s are dead.

They probably already offer discounted indoctrination to blacks through various assistance programs....

“to identify the people who worked the land and give money to their descendants”

Believe they were Tunica-Biloxi tribespeople.

Think they already got their cash, all in good shape...casinos full.

The African tribes who came centuries later?

Transients.

I wonder if people should just stop giving money to universities?

Yep....this should triple up the tuition business, and set the university on the right path.

They can go to hell, but that’s just me. Tulane will find a way to cave.

I say give it to them. I’d love the universities to be punished for slavery. So liberal that they are. Ha!

Lincoln definitely should have said, yes free slaves and return to Africa. Our country has a lot of good things from the past. But the founders screwed up with no making English the official song. Only people born in America can be president. Sorry military brats. Tough luck. Heck only 45 people out of billions have become president anyway. Only two American citizens can birth an American baby that receives citizenship. No anchor babies. That’s the least that should have been done.

It’s time to stop living in the past.

Life changes and moves on.

They were given their freedom, civil rights and right to vote eventually as full citizens of these United States.

We owe them nothing.

The largest concentration of black slaveowners in the US was in New Orleans. I wonder if these enlightened blacks asking for handouts are aware of this little bit of history that will make their argument moot.

That will help the expensive tuition problem.

What percentage of the “activists” are on scholarships paid for by white people?

What percentage of the “activists” were accepted to the university due to affirmative action that discriminated against white people and Asians?

Bottom line—no good deed goes unpunished—and they won’t stop until all white people are dead—and then they will start killing each other.
