Prime Minister of Antigua and Barbuda Demands Harvard Pay Slavery Reparations

“due to the role Antigua and Barbudan slaves played in the creation of the Harvard Law School”

This case would set quite a precedent if Harvard were to follow through. Can you even imagine what would come next?

The College Fix reports:

Foreign prime minister demands slavery reparations from Harvard

The prime minister of Antigua and Barbuda recently sent a letter to the president of Harvard University demanding that the Ivy League school pay his country slavery reparations.

The Harvard Crimson reported that Gaston Browne, prime minister of Antigua and Barbuda, in an Oct. 30 letter to Harvard President Lawrence Bacow demanded reparations for the university’s role in using slave labor from the Carribean islands in the 1800s, saying “Reparation is not aid; it is not a gift; it is compensation to correct the injustices of the past and restore equity.”

The letter demands the reparations due to the role Antigua and Barbudan slaves played in the creation of the Harvard Law School, because Antiguan plantation owner Isaac Royall donated money to create the first endowed law professor in 1815, The Crimson reported.

In response, Bacow wrote a letter that noted that the university had taken steps to address the sullied history of the law school’s founding, including erecting a memorial to those slaves, and removing the seal that contained the Royall family coat of arms.

“We recognize that there is more work to be done,” Bacow was quoted as writing in The Crimson. “Indeed, Harvard is determined to take additional steps to explore this institution’s historical relationship with slavery and the challenging moral questions that arise when confronting past injustices and their legacies.”

Whatever happened to telling rediculus people pushing rediculus agendas to eat a bag of dicks?

How are reparations different than selling someone? Is it like getting a refund, a rebate, a bounty or just abject ignorance framed in Ivy League guilt?

Sounds to me like someone is trying to count someone else’s money.
