- Georgetown University is one of the country’s top-ranked schools and has a roughly $1.6 billion endowment. But in 1838, the university was facing financial ruin. So the Jesuit priests, who ran Georgetown, sold 272 enslaved people to three plantations in Louisiana for $115,000 - or the equivalent of about $3.3 million in today’s dollars to keep their doors open. That’s how the ancestors of DaVita Robinson, Valerie White, Maxine Crump - all descendants of the 272 and featured in the Video Op-Ed above - ended up in Louisiana.
And now, they may become the first people in the history of the United States to receive reparations for slavery.
In 2019, Georgetown students pushed the school to create a reparations fund. Georgetown has promised to raise $400,000 per year to go toward descendants of the enslaved people it sold. With more than 8,000 known descendants living today, is the school’s fund even close to what’s owed?

Slavery in the USA was abolished in 1865, this is 155 years ago. I'm in any terms against racism and discrimination, but this is ridiculous. This I can't support. Not to mention the fact that there were Indians and blacks in the US who kept slaves.
But who has to pay? You can't expect that people are willing to pay reparations, who themselves have absolut no guilt for slavery. If the US government pays the reparations, then people will pay whose ancestors were slaves. I can see no correct way to pay any reparations.

@Horton 13 I think the whole western world is currently experiencing a kind of campaign on the part of the left, but by no means only the left, under the slogans "anti-racism", "whiteness", "anti-colonialism" and the like.

@Headley Milliner Slavery's illegal in the U.S., and has been since 1865. Please get more information before you answer.
@Headley Milliner should Americans whose family were poor share croppers and are still poor have to pay reparations?
What if someone has one black parent and one white? Do they get half?
What about Jamaicans?
Who should get it and who should pay? Specifically.
@Headley Milliner define benefitting from the wealth of slaves.
Poor white Share croppers have not benefitted from the wealth of slavery. Should they have to pay reparations out of their taxes going to ados.
@Headley Milliner what about a person who goes to a school that was built by slaves?
They benefitted from the wealth created by slavery. Should they pay reparations to themselves?
Every line we draw in the sand and place someone on the other side... We can find someone who looks like us on both sides
No need to use insults.
@Headley Milliner I am asking questions because it sounds like a noble idea... But whites and blacks are so entwined that it would be impossible to account for every person white or black they benefitted from slavery.
You may grow up in the hood (hurt by slavery) but benefit from a scholarship to a school that used slave labor.

All of the people who were involved in the slave trade passed away a long time ago. Both perpetrators and victims. You can't come and ask for reparations 155 years after slavery was banned in the US. That's not fair, and it never will happen.
But those descendants of slave owners still benefited from slavery.
@@YaIshe It doesn't have to be the case. Many of the slave owners may also have not invested their money well and wasted it. After almost 160 years there is certainly nothing left for many. That would have to be precisely established, documented and checked from case to case.
@@YaIshe Hardly, too many taxes and descendants. Safe to say that money did not trickle down after 155 years.
@@YaIshe Who are these beneficiaries of slavery??? Only a very small percentage of people owned slaves and they were the rich of their day.

@@dyerseve07 I’m not sure but I know they enslaved their own people (Africans). How do you think slaves were rounded up and loaded onto the ships? There weren’t white people hunting and capturing Africans, their own people did that. It’s all just funny because many sects of people have been exposed to slavery, it wasn’t exclusive to just black people. Even though, they may make it sound that way and like their people got it the worst. I guess I’ll just sit and wait for my reparations, from my country. Considering, with the amount of land my family had, they should have been affluent. But since everything was take from them, they had to start from square one, when they immigrated to the USA.

I think that's the best answer.
My Grandparents were poor white folks that lived in the outskirts of Birmingham, Alabama and they lived in a largely black community that all worked for the Bessemer Steel company. My Grandfather worked with a largely black work crew and they pounded steel with sledge hammers. My grandpa told me when. I was young that all the bones in his hand were shattered when a sledgehammer missed its mark! Back then you worked long hours and did not get paid any extra for overtime or weekends. If the boss told you to come to work on a Saturday, you came to work and they did not pay you any extra pay or overtime! As a child my Grandparents taught us to respect all people regardless of skin color and ESPECIALLY black people because they LIVED in the black community together. When you live with people in close proximity it's hard to demonize them based on race, because it's hard to treat people unfairly that you live with.
Flash to the modern age. I now have black family members in my extended family. I also worked for a black manager and my Laboratory Director was a black man for 20 years he held the HEAD LABORATORY DIRECTOR JOB that paid the highest salary at the Research Organization.
So explain to me why I have to have my tax dollars go to descendants of slaves that my family never benefited from? Also have people not figured out the US GOVERNMENT is about BROKE?? We can't pay our bills AS IT IS!! OUR ECONOMY IS DEPENDENT ON VERY LOW INTEREST RATES. DO YOU KNOW WHY THAT IS?? ITS NOT FREE MARKET ECONOMIC FORCES AT WORK, ITS BECAUSE IF INTEREST RATES GO UP VERY MUCH THE USA WONT BE ABLE TO PAY THE INTEREST ON OUR DEBT!!

Giving money to people for something they didn't earn themselves is immoral and unethical. If people earn money, they respect it. When you give money to uneducated people they loose it immediately because they lack knowledge and wisdom. You actually harm them by giving money to people that are capable of bettering themselves and earning it themselves. All my educated Black friends say the same thing as do my black family members.

The theory of reparations where a victim receives compensation from their perpetrator for a wrong done to them is well established. However in the case of slavery their is no such claim as there are no surviving slaves or slave owners around. To expect a descendant of a slave owner to compensate the descendants of a slave is opening the floodgates for every descendants who ancestor experienced harm from someone else’s ancestors.

I also feel for everyone who has been dealt injustices in the past but again- that is past!!
So, you claim to care about decendents of slaves( but of course, only black ones I'd guess)
Yet, claim to be well off and don't need help.
Still, the reality is- if such a reparation was offered, law would require anyone seeking to submit a DNA sample, be given an official photo ID to end the bs claim of voter suppression and require a physical place of residence.
This would be a benefit to law-
So after
millions submit, thousands of unsolved crimes may be opened again and those individuals would get summons to come get a check but instead get cuffs and those that don't come now have given their address- knock, knock.
So, obviously you don't care about decendents of slaves but only yourself-

The US government has paid reparations before. In 1988, it paid $1.6 billion to Japanese Americans interned during World War II. It also compensated Native American tribes about $1.3 billion between 1946 and 1978 for seizing their land. All of us, whether guilty or not, whether old or young, must accept the past. We are all affected by its consequences. Reparations are not punitive…They’re restorative. Reparations should accomplish three things: acknowledgement, restitution, and closure. America is still in the middle of the “A” stage: While it has mostly accepted “that there has been a wrong committed,” it has not yet agreed that “some form of repair” is owed to the victims.

Also paying it would cost a lot of money in which most people would not be willing to pay dividing the country even more

@@auk1441 ones that want reperations are wrong its redicoulous
Slavery has existed in practically every single culture at some point in time, so does that mean everybody on the planet should receive reparations for having ancestors that were once enslaved. No it doesn’t. The past is the past and let’s learn to move on and learn from it.
So are they just going to do this generation or all subsequent generations - how long into history will this be paid
California’s “Reparations Task Force” has recommended giving California’s descendants of slavery more than $200, 000 each.
This will cost the tax payer close to $ 570 billion!
This isn’t reparations to slaves. It’s to the descendants of slaves.
What about someone who’s half white? Does he get half the money and the white half gets taxed??
What about the black descendants of black Americans that owned slaves? Oh, you didn’t know? Yes, American blacks owned black slaves, so did native tribes.
Most American whites didn’t own slaves and there are plenty of white immigrants to the US that never owned slaves.
Why should people who never owned slaves give money to people who never were slaves??
Should California be sending off reparations to the descendants of soldiers who were killed in the Civil War?
But the legacies of slavery argument? It’s nonsense. I looked at the data. Yes, it surprised me.
The achievement and income gap is not the result of systemic oppression or the legacy of slavery. It’s a myth.
How do I know? Blacks were rapidly narrowing the achievement gap in the 1940s and 50’s.
Remember, this is before the victories of the Civil Rights movement!
This progress stalled and in some cases reversed after leftist social welfare policies. This led to the breakdown of the black family, generational welfare dependency, illegitimacy, academic failure, high levels of violent crime.
Hope you’ll check out my book “Deconstructing Social Justice”. I provide the evidence and the data. I also expose the lies of the other ‘social justice’ initiatives.
So what is the statute of limitations on victim-hood? I guess I need to get my case ready to sue the Norwegian government for what the vikings did to my ancestors and then North African countries have to pay for the impact of the Barbary Slave Trade on my ancestors....And that is just the beginning as the Italians factor in there as well and many others such as the Mongols and the Hungarians. They say that there are negative outcomes for those that are decedents of slavery....lol This has to be one of the biggest piles of BS I have ever heard. Most humans, if they trace their lineage back, can find an ancestor who experienced slavery no matter the color of their skin. I don't see them wallowing in a pit of their own self-misery waiting for a hand out. I think they should have a holiday so Black people can thank their lucky stars that an ancestor was enslaved and brought to North America which in turn allowed them the opportunity to grow up in a place where people of their culture are doing better than anywhere else their culture exists.
@-MASTERING GEMATRIA VISUALLY Take two: I would say your blanket criticism without addressing any of the content is a surprise but considering what you are quoting I'm guessing critical thinking is not your forte. How do you get that I was whining here when I was simply pointing out the incessant whining of others? So you obviously feel black people somehow own historical atrocity? You feel black people are the only people to have suffered on this planet throughout human history? Or maybe they are just the first group to live in the lap of luxury compared to the rest of the world but still find something to complain about constantly and blame all their woes on others rather than showing an ounce of character and realizing they are themselves to blame for much of what they blame others for.
The Slave trade was just the start. We suffered through sharecropping, segregation, Jim Crow, the civil rights movement teardown, the crack era, and currently mass incarceration and police brutality not to mention all of the socioeconomic factors at play that reinforce the system. So yes, if you’ve suffered from similar circumstances all because of the color of your skin then you should be suing too
@@ELLYNOVAPRODUCTIONS To answer your first question regarding blame and I generalize here as I realize this only applies to a portion of the community but when people teach their kids white people are the reason for all their problems, when people teach their kids not to trust the police, when people distrust the education system and put little emphasis on it, when the kids of those people consistently act out in school, when people have such a feeling of entitlement they believe they deserve something for nothing, etc, etc then the outcome for that group is not going to be a good one. Now someone might look at this list and say that some of those feelings are justified but the statistics don't support that narrative. By the way, I love when you describe your kids. I think that would make a leftists head explode or they would just tell them their white side is oppressing the black side. ;)
@@davidearle7209 If you are actually the person to live through real hardship due to discrimination then sure I can get behind some form of reparations, not the relatives thereof. Now in regards to reparations one can look at the billions and billions spent through government programs that has been funneled into black communities since the 60's and say that is a form of reparations, some could say that while systemically r@cist, affirmative action was a form of reparations, some could say that lower entrance marks required from black students to get into university is a form of reparations, etc, etc. In regards to the list you provided, I disagree with your assertion that crack was somehow an assault on the black community seeing how most of its manufacture and distribution was from within. Who is discriminating against the white population today with opioids?. I also have a problem with the narrative around mass incarceration, do you actually think that in the modern era the justice system on every level locked up blacks because they did nothing? And in regards to higher sentencing, the greatest portion of these accusations can be easily explained by circumstance of arrest or prior arrest history or access to good legal representation and the list goes on and on. Police brutality in the modern era is also a myth when you look at the statistical data rather than narrative driven "news" broadcasters. You should look up a study done by a black professor from Harvard named Roland Fryer which debunks many of the police myths in regards to brutality against the black community, especially the white on black variety. Even the myth of police targeting black people in traffic stops is not reflected in the statistics which show that the rate in which people in the US are pulled over is almost exactly the same proportion to the population representation of each ethnic group. Let me ask you this, in the "system" today how is a black person held back more than a white person? You do realize that black people, at one time or another, have held every position of power within the system of power? So the same system that is supposedly holding black people back has allowed black people to hold great power within it.....do you see how this line of thinking makes no sense?
So very true its really about a way to get handouts

Reparations would be nice for the recipients, but cause resentment in everyone else.
But beyond that, it could not really make up for the wrongs done in the past, to people long dead.
This has nothing to do with everybody else. Anyway, name a time in America when white people didn't resent Black people since we were kidnapped. WHEN? Why should the descendants of enslaved people care how you feel. This ain't about you.

I'm not really convinced about the moral logic of this. It seems to rest on the assertion that economic repercussions transmit genetically, which is demonstrably false (the inverse of the sins of the father passing to the son).
I guess it's a question of how we as a society define the demon we're trying to exorcise.
Side note: I recognize that Georgetown Univ. is a private institution, which may do more or less as it pleases in this regard, and that the university's actions don't relate directly to governmental reparations.
Well stated
Statistically, poor people have something like 90% chance of staying poor throughout their life (number pulled from memory as I've not been able to find my source again, so all of the grains of salt), and their children also have a very small chance of bettering their condition due to their upbringing and opportunities. So of course poverty is not *litterally* transmitted genetically, but it is hereditary.
Even then, I'm also skeptical of slavery reparations. There needs to be policy to improve wealth inequality just in general, and that includes racial wealth inequality, which is spectacular.

@bethere5151 In the slave owners' eyes they were property to turn a profit. And that they did, they turn a profit that America still enjoy today. People invested in slaves and got paid dividends because it was business. So when you are here busy asking for job descriptions be it from the slave who was a bricklayer to the money generated from the free labour of America slaves and slavery they built America... Not just Georgetown or the White House.

@MisTy: Don't beg for free money, and you won't have to worry about being "insulted".
I'm Slovak, Polish, and Ukrainian. How can I get reparations from Austria and Hungary, since we're giving money to people for something they never experienced.
Those seeking reparations where never slaves, most aren't related to anyone who where slaves and still playing the victim. I never owned nor did anyone in my family own slaves, I'm of Irish decent and we where treated bad in our lands and abroad as 2nd class citizens and non of us are looking for reparations. The survivors of the holocaust or their relatives aren't looking to seek reparations and their treatment was far worse than any one who may have been a slave. Slavery has been around since the beginning of time and every culture has been enslaved at one time or another throughout history and even driven away from their homelands. Weak people will always play the victim and feel that sometimes is owed to them.
Aww you sound so mad 😂

Makes perfect sense, people are mad about getting no reparations when they don’t deserve them to begin with… it’s 2023 why should people that haven’t ever owned slaves be paying people that have never been slaves tons of money
I believe that any slave in America should get paid however I also believe that the ones who fought in the civil war so black people can be free family members should also have a check in America
Do not forget to give reparations for the millions of Black people killed by other Black people around the world.

What did natives, mexicans, and Union soldiers have anything to do with slavery? This is stupid.
That's a mockery don't take that .
Georgetown University owe these people each 40 acres of productive land as promised in the Emancipation Proclamation. They will sell themselves and their future heirs very much short if they take such payment in the cash being offered. Since when does it become intelligent to allow a perpetrator to establish the amount for causing damage to an entire nation of people. Be wise my people and know generations will follow long after you've spent even their reparations.
Anything less than the 40 acres is a fools' settlement. The land was the promised payment; once cash becomes the acceptable payment vehicle be prepared for the Lawyers to have a field day grabbing their 30% of the booty. With the land, the Lawyer can only charge an amount to file deeds.etc.
Its not law but simply a proclamation
Boy! You just need to go back and re-write this post. It doesn’t even resemble truth.
Should reparations only be paid by identified descendants of slave owners to identified descendants of slaves? This could be a long process using documents DNA and other scientifically based data to establish who should pay and who should benefit.
Read Exodus, until the Africans pay reparations for those they enslaved, there is no argument for anyone after receiving such reparations. Africans are the original racists!

-Census and tax records show an abundance of free black slaves who bought and owned slaves themselves in Henrico, VA, Mecklenburg, NC, and Charles Parrish, LA.
-Native Americans also bought and owned black slaves.
@Esther A Your reparations are that you hit the jackpot in getting to live in America today, as bad as slavery was for your ancestors. 1 Billion of your cousins in Africa desperately want to trade places with you. Africans make $1600 a year on average. Black Americans make $44,000 a year on average. You will also have to sue private people and not the government for any reparations, because the American government never enslaved black people. And maybe the descendants of the 250,000 white men who gave their lives and died to free the black slaves during the civil war should sue black Americans as well? 300,000 black Africans were brought to America as slaves. 250,000 white men died to free the slaves in the civil war. You got a tremendous blessing from those 250,000 white men who died so that you could have a very good financial income today as a free American citizen.

1#. HEIR. At common law. A person who succeeds, by the rules of law , to an estate in lands, tenements, or hereditaments, upon the death of his ancestor, by descent and right of relationship. The term “heir” has a very different signification at common law from what it has in those states and countries which have adopted the civil law. In the latter, the term is indiscriminately applied to all persons who are called to the succession, whether by the act of the party or by operation of law. The person who is created universal successor by a will is called the “ testamentary heir; “ and the next of kin by blood is, in cases of in testacy, called the “ heir at law,” or “ heir by intestacy.” The executor of the common law in many respects corresponds to the testamentary heir of the civil law. Again, the administrator in many respects corresponds with the heir by intestacy. By the common law, executors and administrators have no right except to the personal estate of the deceased; whereas the heir by the civil law is authorized to administer both the personal and real estate.
