$27M for slavery reparations ‘not enough,’ Princeton seminary students say. They want $120M more.

Princeton Theological Seminary pledged last week to use $27.6 million of its endowment to pay reparations for the school’s historic ties to slavery, believed to be the largest amount ever paid by a school to atone for benefiting from the slave trade.

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

The Association of Black Seminarians at Princeton Theological Seminary — a student group that helped raise the slavery reparations issue at the school — plans to call for at least $120 million more in slavery reparations along with money for current African-American students and other changes, the association’s president said.

“We are going to announce our official response next week and then submit our discrepancies to president’s office,” said the Rev. Nicholas Young, a master’s student and president of the Association of Black Seminarians at Princeton Theological Seminary.

As a follow-up to this from a few days ago, who would ever have seen this coming???? You cannot bargain with extortionists. Princeton Theological Seminary will cave. They’ve already opened the Pandora’s box, only question is how much dough this will ultimately cost them.

Do what Ozzy Osbourne supposedly did when Oral Roberts asked for 1 million dollars. Ozzy just sent $10 with a suggestion that it goes to Oral’s mental health treatment.

Simple. All people who were slaves in America get free college. A win - win for all except for the permanent victim crowd but nothing will ever please them anyway.

How about paying off the relatives of the white Union soldiers that died to free them first?

You go down the rabbit hole, you gets what you deserve. Kowtowing to people who have zero relation to an issue that was ended more than 7 generations ago is just plain racist.

Doesn’t matter much. The mainline denominations (including PCUSA, the denomination of PTS) are all rapidly dying from the cancers of homosexuality and feminism. So there won’t be a need for PTS shortly.

That’s all well and good, but the slaves will be too old to enjoy the money very much.

So they want $120M a year forever? I suppose they will want cost of living increases at a higher rate than Social Security.
