Georgetown university could impose $27.20 fee for slave reparations

[Saltwater60]

Georgetown students vote overwhelming in favor of $27 fee for slavery reparations

This is the most hilarious thing I’ve ever seen. Era vote to raise this exorbitant college tuition bill by 27.20 that is $56,000 per year. That’s a 0.05% increase what a joke. Then we will turn around and bitch how much college costs. Millennials I’ll tell ya are ruining the USA.

So I'm confused. Do only white students pay the fee or does every student? Where exactly does the money go? The article formatting on my screen is confusing and difficult to read. Also, how many of the students at Georgetown (an exclusive private university that one certainly has to have wealth and "privileged" to get into) were slaves or had immediate family members who were slave? I'm guessing exact ZERO. Nice job with the virtue signaling though.

56k a year eh?

Glad to see an undergrad degree's price has DOUBLED nearly TRIPLED since I graduated about 20 years ago. Government subsidized tuition has, of course, nothing to do with that.

This is not, actually, off-topic. A lot of students have grants, etc., which means that this isn't even being paid by them, it is being paid by you and me, indirectly.

"Where exactly does the money go?" - where do you think, @Catskillkid? It is going to go toward six figure salaries for "diversity officers", etc.

my kid was looking at georgetown, i told him i would not give him on dime if he went there.
after i told him why he didn't want to go.

Maybe they can throw a few sheckles in for me being Jewish. You know, the Holocaust.

1838 Maryland Jesuits sell 282 slaves to pay debt of George College which became Georgetown University. Look it up it's not hard to find.

I think they should get the money from every graduate first.

The way that I see it,

1.) Public education, pre k through 12th grade and the universities are the biggest danger to our country... (Brainwashing)
2.) Followed by the controlled Main Stream Media... (Propaganda)
3.) Politicians and or bureaucrats , both sides of the aisle, but mainly the Democrats... (Where do I even start?)

Yep, that's right. IMO the education system is the biggest threat to our country. Without that issue being addressed first and foremost. Any other problems that are bringing down our country that could/would be fixed just wouldn't matter.

But I do think at this point it's to late to turn things around.

It's more complicated than my #1 thru #3 list of course... Illegal invaders, People who vote for free shit. Stupid people in general etc... Man oh man, whenever I am around a bunch of people, take the grocery store for an example. I am surrounded by a bunch of fucking morons... I don't remember it being that way 15 - 20 years ago.

But yeah, IMHO the molding of young minds in the education system is our countries biggest threat. The fact that by almost a 2-to-1 margin, students approved the measure for reparations shows how effective the brainwashing is.

You don't need propaganda when you can brainwash them as soon as they can walk.

Maybe they can throw a few sheckles in for me being Jewish. You know, the Holocaust.

This is why I don't support reparations. Every single racial, ethnic, and religious group has been discriminated against, persecuted, enslaved, had genocide committed against, and generally wronged since time immemorial. Who gets to decide who is the most aggrieved and deserving of reparations? Why are blacks considered above Jews in grievances? Who decides this? My ancestors in Germany were most likely warred against by the Romans during ancient times. Should I sue Italy for reparations?

This is what happens when you adopt identity and intersectional politics as your guiding principals instead of equal rights and equality of opportunity (life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness as someone so eloquently put it). This race to the bottom of victimhood is part of what is causing our country to spiral down the drain. Here's a thought to these students and the University: Life is tough, it sucks that your ancestors had to deal with a horrific institution like slavery, but those days are over and slavery has been abolished since 1865. No one with any real authority is discriminating against you. Work hard, study, stay out of trouble (not hard to do) and life will generally be kind to you. Reparations and other assorted handouts not required.

Keep it to yourself until I get my cash please.

Here you go....Maxine Waters, Chair of the House Financial Services Committee, did not even know that the U.S. Government nationalized student lending in 2010:

Priceless self-ownage!

Good questions.

I learned long ago that if something makes absolutely no sense.
Follow the money, that's where the answer is usually found.

The money certainly is not going to anybody that was a slave... So who is possibly getting the dirty money?

Maybe they can throw a few sheckles in for me being Jewish. You know, the Holocaust.

Or those who have Indian, Irish, Italian, Polish, Chinese, ect... Blood. Some of those people were slaughtered or discriminated against when they got here or for already being here.

 

[wizrd]

How about reparations for damages to cities (amounting to tens of billions dollars) from race riots ? Seems to me most living blacks could be held accountable.

 

[Bigfoot]

I would have liked to remind the Georgetown university students that are for this reparations bullshit that...
During Americas Civil War, the Union military suffered 596,670 killed, wounded, captured or missing.

IMO that is enough so called reparations.




Interesting side note,,, New York State suffered the most deaths in the Union military... Almost 40,000.

 

[Deplorable Me]

The British brought slavery to the new world, send them the damn bill.

 

[GOPerfect]

I do not care who sold a slave or when they sold said slave. I do not think that any American today should pay for Americans that were never enslaved. Yeah, get over it.

 

[spat]

This sounds great, if I cough up $40 can I demand change when someone tries to play the race card ?


"You aren't allowed to have an opinion on this topic since you're not black"

"Shut up bitch, I paid my $40."

NY probably had a leader like we have now and we had to count to 3 before shooting a guy on the other side to make sure of his intentions to kill the union soldiers.

Not that I have any reason to go back to college, but why would this be something I’d have to pay?

All of my ancestors were in Italy up until the 1920s. Not to mention we don’t hold children responsible crimes of their forefathers.

Maybe it’s time, dare I say, that we moved past promoting a culture of victimhood, and instead build one of empowerment.

 

[Jmac00]

I did not, nor have I ever owned a slave, and you have never been a slave, I OWE YOU NOTHING, STFU and go away
