According to 23 and me, I’m .5 percent African and directly related to a 100% African that was born in the late 1700s/Early 1800s, most likely making him/her a slave. Do I count?

It's $27 per student, per semester.

Also there are only 4 students that would qualify to receive these benefits.

~190k spread between 4 students. Per semester. Paid for by people who had nothing to do with slavery to people who were not slaves.


Now it all makes sense. It’s a money grab for Georgetown under the guise of atonement.

I’m white but my 9th great grandmother was an African slave from the Congo. I want more than $27 fricking dollars from y’all.

My family owned slaves and some in my family were also slaves. I think I'll just pay myself!

I don't believe in reparations at all. But hey, if there are people who want to give me money, I sure as hell won't say no.

No, because that would establish a precedent.

Not a single penny.

Unless it is one of the former slaves who comes forward and can prove he/she was a slave.

Lol you think that’s where it would end? That would be just the beginning and open up Pandora’s box.

It’s never enough. Never.

Yes but you wont. Pay and it will never be enough. People will complain no matter what you give them.

Seems cheap if it gets them to finally shut the hell up about it.

Many years ago I had someone who I am fairly certain could've been a decendant of a slave steal my wallet that had $35 in it. Upon confirmation of their ancestry and any putative claimant, I will submit my claim for reimbursement as I am upside-down $8.

My mother's side of the family cab be traced back to Nova Scotia and Acadia. Since I am only 1/2 Acadian, it is only fair that I get only half a share.

Does any one know how much that is and how I apply for it?
