...cash reparations should be designed to reduce the wealth gap between white and black Americans...

There are other gaps that need closing.

“And this guy is getting paid by The State of Noth Carolina...whatta laff”

Duke University, located in North Carolina, is a private institution, not a publicly funded state university.

Blacks did very little to build this country. Chinese, Germans, Irish, Italians, heck even Swedes did more than them.

This stupid jackass can voluntarily pay anything he likes. What he shall not be allowed to do is steal from our pockets.

Blacks are a net drain on society, if anything they owe white people money.

“...will be compensated by people who never owned slaves.”


...including people who moved into the country after slavery was already abolished. Seems fair to me. And I’m sure all of them will be thrilled to pay the taxes needed for this fantasy.

We’ve already given them $20 or $25 trillion. Call that “reparations” and have them refund $10 trillion to us who paid. Works for me.

The entire GDP of the United States is just north of $23 trillion. This professor is an idiot.

How can the gap be that much, when that’s many times what the average white household makes?

Just goes to show that some “professors” are dumb as rocks ... and ol’ Duke boy here is a perfect example ... a poster child for nonsense.

Hey dickhead! Over 600,000 Americans lost their lives during the Civil War to free black people from slavery.

No they didn't and I can prove it.

In March of 1861 the House of Representatives voted by a 3/4ths majority to pass the Corwin Amendment which would make slavery permanent in the United States.

The Senate followed up by voting by a 3/4ths majority to pass this same Corwin Amendment guaranteeing a right to own slaves.

Both houses were controlled by the Republicans because the original 7 Confederate states had already left the congress before this time.

The primary proponent of the Corwin Amendment in the Senate was William Seward, Former governor of New York and then Lincoln's secretary of State.

With the entire government urging the states to pass the permanent slavery amendment, nobody fought the war for the purpose of freeing the slaves.

They fought the war to put the chains of Washington DC around the necks of people who wanted to be free of it's control and corruption.

We are still dealing with DC corruption today, and it is bigger than it ever was.

It is the Whites that are the dumbies. They are the ones paying the Blacks. They are just putting guilt trips on Self Hating Whites.
