Princeton Theological Seminary pledged last week to use $27.6 million of its endowment to pay reparations for the school’s historic ties to slavery, believed to be the largest amount ever paid by a school to atone for benefiting from the slave trade. The school’s black student association says it’s “a great start, but not enough.” The Association of Black Seminarians at Princeton Theological Seminary—a student group that helped raise the slavery reparations issue at the school—plans to call for at least $120 million more in slavery reparations along with money for current African-American students and other changes, the association’s president said.

The gerrymandered congressional districts of the Congressional Black Caucus are more than enough reparations.

I guess the Princeton Seminary appears to have admitted some sort of ill gotten gain worthy of reparations.
Dare i say that arriving a reparative proposal without the assent of the aggrieved parties is....white priviledge?
Princeton has dug themselves a deep deep hole.
I don't blame the African American students at all for demanding more.

Will there be reparations for the people who lost relatives killed in battle so that the slaves would get their freedom?

And who will get this money? All those who were slave owners before 1870 are dead. All of those who were slaves before 1870 are dead. How can reparations be provided to dead people, or taken from dead people?
Reparations are a sham and a fraud. Will they bring back the Easter Bunny, the Tooth Fairy, and Santa Claus as well?
Princeton Theological Seminary has become a place of utter confusion. There is no truth to be found there. Merely political correctness.

Since Hussein The First and Hopefully The Last is half black and half white, will the white half pay money to the black half? Will DNA samples be used to pay off the alleged victims? Will white southerners be compensated for the loss of their property during The War of Northern Aggregation? Sounds like a lifetime job for bean counters.

Isn't it fun watching the liberals eat themselves? Since only Democrats ever owned slaves, let Democrats show us by example by paying out of their own pockets. I'll hold my breath.

And in reality, $100 is way too much.
No person alive today ever was a slave. Unlikely that any person alive today is even a son or daughter of a slave, although it may just BARELY be possible.
It was over 150 years ago. It is done.

Oh do they now. Since no living black person is actually entitled to be paid off with other people’s money the fight over who gets what would go on for years and destroy them all.

Hmm, at that point #17, just round up to 10^31, but we don't have a name for that. Might be more dollars than there are stars in the Milky Way.
Avagadro showed us that there are 10^23 for molecules per mole.
Easier to say "all there is and ever will be".

OK, you can have your reparations - we’ll give them to you in the form of one way tickets to the African country of your choice, but you will be required to give up your passport on arrival there.

Hey, Princeton, welcome to the slippery slope of Gimmie, Gimmie, Gimmie Land. I hope they drain you dry--and they probably will--before you cry "Uncle" and admit you screwed up! In fact, here's hoping your doors close because you tried to appease the beast and got devoured instead.
What fools they be!

I'm all for it.
BUT:
Aren't sure who your father is? No reparations.
Not 100% US born ancestors before 1864? Only that percentage of the whole is yours. (Think Obama - No reparations - Michele reparations - the kids 50%.
Ancestors who were black but had slaves themselves? Whee - you get to pay up too!

Only those still enslaved need to be reparated. (Did I just invent a word?) Anyway, slavery still exists in Africa, India and lots of little back water countries. And reading history about how millions of people were treated and enslaved over the centuries, people here have little to complain about.

They should dissolve their assets and cease to exist.
THAT would be enough.

I will never understand the entitlement mentality, of taking from workers and giving to idlers, of wanting what others have earned.

It's a private college, and they can do what they want with their money.
But if I were an alumnus, they would certainly never seen another penny from me if they are going to waste it on this PC insanity!!!!!

I DEMAND Reparations for the 30 years of my working career that I was on the 'short end' of Affirmative Action.... the official Federal discrimination against White Men.
I also DEMAND Reparations for the increased cost of Insurance, the increased cost of hiring extra Police, and the extra cost of unpaid Hospital bills (added to MY health insurance costs) due to the violence committed by the 1/2 of the 14% of the American population that claims African heritage.

Seeing this demand will disincline other colleges from the idea of reparations so that's a good thing.

When you find a living slave, we can talk. But, I am going to need some deductions. Like educating, feeding,, clothing, plus providing uniforms, horses and guns for the Colored Army. We'll talk.
What nonsense. It will be far worse than the Pigford Settlement as everyone, including those who arrived yesterday, like Omar, decide they are black.

Ironic, isn't it, that those here want "reparations" for whatever reason; others pay to come illegally with nothing. Blacks looking for reparations need to take it up with the African chieftains, Dutch and English who imported them to this hemisphere. American blacks are not the only "victims" - from Canada south to Brazil and Argentina there were slaves of various origins, not just Africans.

Where are the calls for reparations to those who came here wearing the yoke of Indentured Servitude? Oh, that's right, they were White Europeans. Sorry.

The Union dead and mutilated who fought to free slaves are reparation enough and more.
