  1. It's not overdue! It's not even warranted.

  2.  @mrbr0wn215  there is ZERO imbalance or inequality in america today. Anyone not moving up,simply has to pull their boot straps up and start walking. Maybe stop being criminals, selling drugs to your own people, and stop killing each other. Stop claiming everyone else for your own problems.

  4.  @evadriana4664  what its racist, to think that everyone in today's age is responsible for themselves? The Irish were oppressed more in america then slaves were, yet are we paying them? Are we blaming the government for that? That's what I thought. Has nothing to do with race.

  6.  @mrbr0wn215  well let's see, native americans, chinese and Irish. There your who ideology is debunked. See slaves were treated as capital equipment for southern plantations. They were fed, housed and well take care of, more then black people in the ghetto are today. Natives were killed by boots of soldiers because they didnt want to waste bullets, and you think black people were oppressed more? Irish and chinese were housed, sheltered and were only fed rotten beef while they built all the railroads across the country. The irish in New York city were not even allowed access to clean water. Yet you say black people were the only oppressed race in america? The idea you think that is exactly why this is even a debate. Oh now I see the real you comes out, so you assume I am some republican capitalist? So that would make you a socialist - social justice warrior. That explains it all. So hold every american black, white, brown, green, purple for the actions of Europeans from 300 years ago. That makes complete sense! The only ignorant one here is you.

  7.  @hlcb8862  the university cannot use publicly funded money to pay reparations.

  8. Georgetown gets state and federal funding, they cannot five the money from the university. It has to come from independent private funds.

  9.  @killbreed  who is profiting today from slavery? Show me one ounce of evidence that slave money is still around?

  10.  @mrbr0wn215  empathy of whom? Shouldnt we all empathize with each other? So how can anyone be a fool then? Because a person, a group, a religion or a race is oppressed, everyone else should empathize with them? What if it goes against my ideologies? Shouldnt the oppressed empathize with my thoughts and beliefs? Just asking for a friend! SMH who is the fool?

  11. Not one penny should be paid! Especially from a state funded school. No one owes you anything. Want someone to blame look in the mirror. Did germany pay every descendant of every Jewish person killed in WWII? No! Did every Native American get paid for the land and thousands killed? No! You want reparations for slavery, you need to talk to The United Kingdom. They are the ones who bought you from other Africans who sold you. They transported you to the new world, not the american government or Georgetown university. Stop acting like the world owes you something, because it doesnt.
