I'd pay $27 to never have to hear about that ridiculous shite again.

If it would make them shut up, gladly. Problem is, it won’t be enough and they’ll ask for round 2.

Sounds good, I can’t wait for Italy/Rome to pay reparations after enslaving my Germanic ancestors... Italy pay up!

No, for a simple reason.

It will be like a collections agency. Paying them ANYTHING means you acknowledge the debt and that they will step up attempts to collect because they know you will pay.

By contrast, people who ignore them or tell them off eventually get ignored because the chances of seeing any of that money are extremely slim.

But, it isn't "only $27". It is a recurring payment of $27.

Do away with all race based programs and I'll contribute $27 to five or six people.

It won't happen.

No. You give them anything and they’ll only come back for more.

So they are making the students pay for it? Makes sense.

Reparations are retarded. I'll certainly not voluntarily pay them.

My parents are 2nd generation Croatian and Czech imigrants.

I think they owe me reparations.

My great-great grandfather owned some slaves. Today, I am not enjoying the fruit of their labor - I inherited nothing from him. Therefore, if he didn't have stacks of money for his future generations to enjoy, he must have had some pretty piss-poor slaves. I'm supposed to be enjoying "white privilege" or some shite, but I'm not. I feel cheated. I want my reparations!

If Georgetown believes they did wrong and owe the descendants of slaves reparations, they can and should do as they please.

But I don’t believe that applies to the US or state governments.

I will pay 27 dollars if it shuts these people up once and for all.
Otherwise they should be paying me for having to constantly hear their crybaby asses.
