Don’t forget the white slaves.

Slavery was invented in Africa and reparations must start there. As a matter of fact, if it wasn’t for white people, slavery would still be around. But it’s a private school, so let them pay for it. NoHateJustTruth

Can I get reparations from MSNBC for denying me Journalism for decades.

Lol. Isiots

Don't talk to me about student loan debt later.

So according to the headline the school gets it's debt paid off and just how does that help descendants of slaves! So reminiscent of 'Yall are not owned by Southern Slave owners now, just northern government officials with housing subsidies, food stamps and WELFARE! Get it!!

That is Hilarious! There is NO WAY 4th or 5th generations are EVER going to see a Penny because of what happened to their Great, Great, Great, Great Grandpa.

Please ensure you collect from Kamala, since her ancestors were slave owners

How about setting up a referendum and establish a fund for descendants of enslaved Irish people in this country, if you want to get real! Pffffff

I could listen to these 2 talk all day

look I might be wrong but for some reason I remember that back in the 60s we dismissed the concept of reparations in favor of adopting affirmative action as the most effective means of mending the social economic consequence of the horrific practice of slavery

The biggest mistake ever was slavery. There would only be a few blacks here, they’d still be in Africa. I think we can all agree that slavery costs us millions today, in taxpayer money

That’s because their parents are paying their way, or they will just go into debt more

So the democrats, the party of slavery are going to pay for it, right?

We should follow the money and see what happens to it lol. I’m sure it will be invested very intelligently and will lead to generational wealth which those descendants haven’t been able to have because of, ya know, 18th century slavery. Sure.

At some point we just need to move on from slavery. It’s enough now, come on. We get it; slavery was bad. We all agree. But the FACT remains that no one alive had anything to do with it. We have to move on.

In Europe they paid the slave owners

Maybe US can start by vigorously enforcing the Voting Rights Act of 1965 and stop allowing suppression of America’s black citizens in certain regions.

Nobody today was either a slave or slave owner. We just have blue voters wanting MORE handouts.

Well, Democrats ,were the slave owners they can pay to the deceased slaves..

Reparations should be paid by Georgetown to the descendants of the slaves who were sold, but not by its students. If the student body donates, then the college itself would not have been the entity to have made amends.

A new student fee is proposed to fund this initiative. Why fund this on the backs of the students

what if my my family never owned any of these slave's you speak of!!

How much is tuition at Georgetown? Just wondering the cost of a good brainwashing. brainwashed demandArefund

Need another freebeeee Nonsense, you deserve nothing just because of genetics, in fact we are all related so I want it too..

Make the company's that benefit from Slavery pay up..reparations is long overdue🌍

Seems to me they should be paying us for bringing them over here. Nobody rides for free.

Where are the reparations for all the union soldiers families, that sacrificed their sons lives to free blacks? NBCNews ElieNYC realDonaldTrump AOC CoryBooker SpeakerPelosi SenWarren PressSec VP

Truly the best explanation for reparations ever.

Long as they don't for get us .the ones who freed them . Yankee strong So how much is Africa, and the kings and queens of the fucking slave trade going to ow us people. And how about whites that there space was violated by the slave Just wondering how far the rabbit hole goes

Mainlining Aid - intravenous injection of Dem poison

And who's going to pay for it?

Hey, liberals, did you know that you can donate your money to any cause you want without forcing everyone else to do so too?

Georgetown students endorse slavery reparations fund in voteGeorgetown University undergraduates have voted in favor of a referendum seeking the establishment of a fund benefiting the descendants of enslaved people sold to pay off the school's debts. Apparently attending a prestigious university doesn’t equate to having the intelligence to address issues Maybe their parents should have been consulted since they're paying for their little darlings tuition. Wouldn’t pay a dime for something my child had absolutely no involvement in. Reverse discrimination. Absolutely rediculous
