Don’t know your posting in the past, but you come off as a douche. You don’t know shite about me. My “white privilege” sure helped me growing up in New Orleans East. Gfy

As cold as it sounds, the Jesuits were acting in accordance with the law of the land.
Slavery was an abomination that should have never happened. But it did.

I would like for any descendant of a slave that came to America to describe in detail exactly what their economic damages are.
I suspect every one would owe America money if a true accounting were made of the economics of having been born in America because your ancestors was a slave versus having stayed in Africa.
There is no question in my mind that the decedents of American slaves did far better off than the decedents of the Africans that were not forced into slavery.
Slavery was a horrible institution and I wish it had never happened in America but today's blacks seeking reparations have no idea how fortunate they are their ancestors suffered through slavery in America. Given the huge disparity between morality rates and average lifespan I doubt most alive today in America would have ever been born in Africa.

Thank you Sir. Dam truth hurts, but yet some are NOT willing to except the truth.

Sorry but this is ridiculous.
The ONLY effect that being a slave has had on these descendants is that they are Americans (who live in a country that others are trying to get into by the millions) rather than Africans (who in all likelihood would be living in shithole country and wish they were in America).
And yet still NO blame put on the Africans who were the ones who kidnapped them and sold them to the white men in the first place.

I have 0 problems with this given the university was bank rolled by slavery and that's how it stayed open. Institutions shouldn't get a pass for something they supported no matter how long it took to come to the light. Stop trying to excuse these atrocious acts
You're either a super sensitive black dude or a white liberal cuck. Either way, congratulations on being so soft

"Sounds" like an honest initial draft.
Several other things have to be done as well. A complete audit of the history and lineage of every one through the history of GU back to the caveman days. The African slaves were just the most historically recent of those on whose backs fortunes were accumulated.
The founders, executives et al. must be vetted to ensure ALL those upon which at any point in history transactions were made with the laborer getting nothing, are included.
Result? Every one of us will be included.
NEXT:
SURE! And will all those involved be 100% excluded from taking executive positions overseeing the non-profit?
Certainly not a single one of those who are still demanding reparations would place themselves in any position where cars can be purchased, vacations taken, mansions with maids and butlers and grounds staff acquired, etc.

Left handed people are some of the most oppressed people of all time. Guess we have to pay them too

Debt for slavery is a myth. Slavery was legal. Slave descendants should be glad we got them the hell out of Africa. Where's the gratitude?

The rebuttal is this country BELONGS to them bc it was on their backs this marvelous place was constructed. So you take $100k and go back to the country of your most genetically connected lineage. They built this one, they get to stay here.

I guess the only difference is that Georgetown U is still around. So GU can be held responsible for it’s own actions. The individuals are long gone but the institution remains. If corporations are people then just as well say a university is also a person.
That’s just the obvious leftist argument. I’m not a leftist.
