So, $21 trillion in Great Society anti-poverty spending since LBJ is not enough?

Were they slaves?

If yes, 40 acres and a mule. Along the border between the US and Mexico.

If no, you get nothing.

Just to set the record straight here, Elizabeth Warren's DNA results indicated a distant match to people who came from Latin American countries (i.e. Mexico, Colombia and Peru). Apparently, one of her ancestors, six to ten generations back, was of Latin American origin. This was no indication of a connection to any tribe that existed within what is now the United States.

One supposes that preferential treatment in things like College Admissions exist, in large part, to redress past wrongs. We can argue the merit of that, but claiming that you were descended from an oppressed group when there is absolutely NO EVIDENCE of it seems to me to be the exact thing Lori Loughlin and Felicity Huffman are now being prosecuted for. If Warren has cause for redress from anyone (and that is a big if), it seems like she should more appropriately try to shake down Mexico, Colombia or Peru.

The school will end up bankrupt and the thugs will go looking for more.

That sanctimonious virtue signaling hypocrisy gets to be increasingly expensive. They deserve it.

Excellent result!

Here's hoping that they up the demand to 10-billion... According to one of our illustrious demoncrat congress critters that would be $100 dollars per slave (counting the shark chum)...

I am in total agreement. The witnesses should all be supeonaded for trial; to proof the case. Abe Lincoln, himself should testify.

Imagine what could have been done to build America without all that unconscionable total waste of money----for people who don't even appreciate it.

It's like Trump said in 2016 about most foreign aid. We give billions to countries that end up denouncing us, spitting on us and burning our flag.

Sounds like the entitlement recipients here. Always demand more.

They can pay me $120 million for our white ancestors freeing them, and their dumb black asses voting for the slave masters. Give them a 1 way first class ticket anywhere the want to live...and not come back!

The Association of Black Seminarians at Princeton Theological Seminary


Is there an “Association of White Seminarians at Princeton Theological Seminary”?
Would such an organization be allowed to form?

The school’s black student association says it’s “a great start, but not enough.”

Greedy little ingrates, aren't they?

My ancestors came over decades after the Civil War was over and slavery was a mostly distant memory.

I demand exemption from having to pay reparations for something my family did not do.

As FYI the so-called ethnicity results of autosomal DNA testing won’t necessarily detect a single ancestor 5-6 generations back. DNA is not passed equally from parent across siblings. One brother may get the traits and a sister may get nothing. The ethnicity models are based on average statistics and are basically worthless in detecting a single ancestor so far back. I’ve had many DNA tests and ignore the ethnicity results.

The DNA tests ARE useful in matching distant cousins. This is the reason to get a DNA test in order to network and perform real genealogical research. The ethnicity garbage is the bright shiny object the DNA companies use to suck in the lazy amateurs and get their money.

So if Warren knew a known descendent from her cherokee ancestor, she could check her DNA vs the distant cousin to see how many chromosome segments match. Otherwise she should shut her pie hole.

Once you pay the Danegeld, you never get rid of the Dane.
