They never got their reparations -- what's wrong with that?

Georgetown is currently doing this --- why is this an issue? They were never given their reparations.

Just what we need. More undeserving assholes getting free money.

The student government at a Kentucky university voted Tuesday night to recommend that the school make tuition “free” for all black students.

The resolution, which passed 19-10, also called for a special task force to research ways to make it easier for black students to apply and get accepted into the college.
so, in effect, since the total amount of tuition $ required to run the university is constant, they basically want the white kids to pay for the black kids' tuition as well...and in the same resolution, they want to increase the number of black kids in school while reducing the number of white kids.
sounds like a totally unsustainable model to me...and this is being proposed by the next generation of folks who will be running our country.

It's called Welfare.

It'll never be enough for America's little problem children.

Why do they deserve reparations? They were never slaves nor have been affected by slavery.

The Yoruba say, “Eniyan bi aparo ni omo araye n’fe,” meaning the world loves a person who is like a partridge. The partridge is a poor bird that, enfeebled by its creation, has little ability to hunt, gather, protect, or feed itself. The Yoruba believe that the world loves these birds because they provide the space for people to show both sincere and insincere sympathy while holding firm to their position as the superior and maintaining the place of the partridge as the weak. Which is to say that if the partridge relies on the sympathy of others, it will not elevate its position. If we, black people everywhere, cannot gather the resources within our powers to exert real changes and restore our dignity, we will continue to be seen as weak. Our protestations and grievances will be met with sympathy, which does nothing to inspire respect.

My 9th great grandmother was an African slave and I'm white so do I get anything ? How am I any different in that regards?
Because you are discriminated against and fricked, and they are not?

Neither did the Persians, Greeks, Irish, Jews, and Japanese. What did they get? Oh don't forget about the native Americans?

This is always my argument. We are decades removed from slavery, no one alive today (in America) has been held back by slavery from the 1860's.

We should let them attend HS for free first....
Posted on 7/8/17 at 3:54 pm to Will Cover
Irish, Chinese, Japanese, and Italians get in on that?

You think this was completely brought about simply with the student government?

Hopefully they go on a fast over this....to completion.

Yet another reason I have zero respect for any SGA, anywhere. Bunch of self-important dildos.

People don't think America be like it is.
But it do

Little equal protection clause issue with the snowflake resolution.
