[quote:~kpm~:MV8zNTA2NDg0XzYyNTk2MTMwX0IzNzUxRTND] [b]As John Hawkins has pointed out, “Even in the South, depending on which numbers you believe, somewhere between 80-95% of white Americans never owned slaves. There were also several thousand black Americans who owned slaves … why would a white northerner from a state that didn't have slaves owe "reparations" for slavery? For example, what wrong would a Republican abolitionist – who hated slavery, voted for Abe Lincoln, and fought in the Civil War – have done that would require "reparations?"[/b] http://www.dailywire.com/news/15544/students-western-kentucky-university-vote-hank-berrien [/quote]
Original Message
“We demand reparations for the systemic denial of access to high quality educational opportunities in the form of full and free access for all black people (including undocumented, currently and formerly incarcerated people to Western Kentucky University),” the resolution reads, according to the Daily News.
The student government at Western Kentucky University on Tuesday voted in favor of giving free tuition to black students.
The school’s Student Government Associationpassed a resolution by 19-10 supporting slavery reparations for black students in the form of free tuition and free access to the public Bowling Green campus.
