The sale of slaves saved Georgetown University: will descendants be repaid? | Nightline

1. Listen, Slavery is awful, when people get their first job we all have the same opportunities as everyone else, slavery occurred last in 1865 and none of them are alive anymore. My family came to America in 1920 why should I pay for it in which my family had nothing to do about it.

2. The count doesn’t include slave children

3. She is a pawn and sounds like someone who so should work for trump

4. Sold by the Society of Jesus. What a Contridiction of Jesus and his Teaching. Just Appalling. No Human Should Be Property of Another Human. Period.

5. Hey my ancestors were oppressed to. I should be compensated as well.

6. They can afford to cost tens of thousands of dollars to students for tuition, but not to pay the descendants of people that have worked harder than anyone in that administration

7. The Georgetown representative seems more phenotypically representative of the 272 slaves than anyone else in this video….

8. Great, but why does the face of those slaves, their representation, follow suit with American COLORISM…with American black ppl represented by fair skinned black ppl having features that don't resemble the majority.

9. Then you owe money to all the families that lost loved ones in war so you can live freely and that made this Country possible……. STFU!!! you libtards

10. Just go back to the country of your people then where slavery according to you didnt exist…….. and you should be fine. Don't live in a place that seems to hurt you so damn much. my ancestors were hung for being called witches and we aint get no uhhhh reparations.

11. Not as long as white people exist. I was always told Jesus died for our sins. I'm starting to wonder if it had to do with the creation of white people.

12. Reparations or no black vote should be our motto going forward.

13. whatever. so pathetic

14. #Vote for President Trump to serve a second term. Do NOT EVER EVER trust Biden who has Dementia and Kamala Harris who flip flops from one issue to another. Don't believe the DEMORATS who desperately want your Vote and will lie and promise anything to get your vote. Save this Country from the far left and ANTIFA. #Trump2020 #KAGA2020👍👍👍👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸.

15. The Swedes were mean to the Norwegians. They deserve some free stuff too!!!

16. Well I'll tell you what show me one of the students that was alive back in 1838 and I'd be more than happy to pay him problem is there ain't a damn one of us that are alive so no we do not need to be repaid for something our great-great-great grandparents had to go through!!!

17. She is sitting there as if she don’t wont to be there and defend something she is not approve herself but still defend it

18. Disclaimer: this comment section consists of white people pretending they are a victim because they want attention and white people trying to minimize slavery by comparing it to other historical events.

19. I don’t know if I agree in reparations to descendants of slaves. I mean I’m not going to say that this country wasn’t built of slave labor because it was and that is a fact! However, giving free money to these kids isn’t the way to go. I think the federal government should increase funding for education and healthcare if you really want to reparations.

20. Fake news garbage

21. If this happens what would be a fair amount? 🤔

22. Translation: give us more free stuff.

23. Reparations?
    You alll need to be thinking of REVELATIONS!!..God and companys return is on the horizon to cleanse the earth…Repent now so that you may be saved..The destruction of the kingdom of iron and clay is iminent.

24. Being that black Africans were the ones who sold the slaves originally… maybe Africans should be paying the reparations ?

25. #magats are about to downvote the hell out of this video. 😄

26. So descendants of slaves feel they’re entitled to free college tuition via the university that enslaved their forbearers??

    Yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes

28. Ideas like this are what holds back the black community… as long as Democrats keep telling black people that they are "victims", they are going to continue to be less likely productive in society than other groups.
    Japanese people were held in internment camps 100 years AFTER slavery ended and you don't see them out rioting and looting…

29. Blacks have already be repaid. Most black students at Georgetown are there, not because of grades but because of their skin color. Many of them get very lucrative scholarships, also based solely on their skin color.
    Treating one group differently than others based on skin color, is the very definition of racism.

30. No one is owed anything, you have to work hard to get anywhere in life. Should I get repaid for my ancestors that survived the holocaust? Or my slave scottish/irish ancestors brought to America? No. Why? Because the people today no longer believe in those traditions and shouldn't be responsible for it because they weren't even born during that time.

31. ABC is trash

32. Man times have changed completely, I get it figure out where you came from know you’re ancestry, but trying to get some money out of it is ridiculous and makes no sense

33. Wonderful slave owners these Jesuits
