Isn't the purpose of torts to put the person back in the position they were in before the alleged wrong happened?

They're just asking for an outrageous amount in the hopes that the cucks at Georgetown will decide to give a few million just to make this shite go away.

The title of the article uses the term "symbolic atonement," yet also mentions that Georgetown will give preferential status to the descendent's application. Getting into Georgetown is more than a freaking symbol...

Give them the benefit of tax exempt business zones. Let’s see how many enterpenuers actually show up. You want money? Go make it. No one owes you anything. Rebuild your own communities with your own money.

Modest proposal: Take all public money that currently goes to Planned Parenthood and use it for reparations.

I once naively thought Obama’s election would matter. Somehow, someway, SJWs and their ilk have declared that electing a black man as president is actually meaningless. Just as having a black Supreme Court Justice, black mayors, black judges, black police chiefs...either they don’t want healing, or they don’t want to acknowledge healing has already happened.

Black people, for whatever reasons, hellishly want to see everyone in their race in the same socioeconomic situations, be it good or bad. That means if a black man achieves a position of power, they all deserve positions of power. And if the black man disagrees, they will tear his arse down with absolute quickness.

I listened to the Planet Money podcast on this one. Georgetown University has done a lot to honor the original slaves and descendants. From here on out, I'd say "see you in court ".
