It looks like they voted to pay a $27 per sem fee for reparations.
The University sold over 200 slaves to help pay the bills during its' early years.

I'd be with the 1/3 of students who voted NO.

Fucking stupid. Send your kids to trade school

Whites have the privilege of being told how this country would be better off without us everyday, and that benefits us by working harder and longer hours to make ends meat to subsidize tuitions, rent, ebt's, medicaid and other cool shit for non-whites. It's a privilege to be able to say we helped out our fellow humans so much at the end of the day.

True.

I'm going to send money to the black family down the street. The one's with the Volvo and BMW in the driveway.

I find it hard to support a candidate that supports this foolishness.

They wanna take money from people who never had slaves and give it to people that have never been slaves.
Beyond unfair---it's just stupid.
Glad this will NEVER work.

Good to see someone who gets it!

Now, if Bernie and Beto supporters would send their money to homeless shelters and poor students we'd take care of 3 democratic platforms right away. And by the way, that's all they are is platforms and false promises. None of these things are ever going to happen even if they win.
