Using his logic; IMO, not one penny $ from me. and my x, x, x etc. grand father was a plantation slave. You must not cause harm today for prior actions if this is the thinking.
These narrow minded myopic individuals (students and admin) calling out Prof Rickford appear to be a ideologically imprisoned and unwilling to see what this Professor is pointing out. The foundational principal of life. One’s willingness to fight on in the face of insurmountable odds. I think this is a big missing in America today because we‘ve had it so good for so long; that we have progressively produced generations of weaker, more ignorant and irresponsible self centered individuals. Thank you for Speaking out Prof Rickford in the face of no agreement, ignorance and into the void where responsibility should exist.
Reparations are such a big inverted lie that it’s confusing at first…but not for the initiated. What did Jesus have to say about slavery? But Jefferson somehow was supposed to know better…bs.
I wonder if Rockford felt "exhilaration" when learning of Hamas Islamist terrorists raping young Israeli women and bowing their brains out while their penis was still inserted? He must be terminated immediately, not shamed into some bullshit fake apology.
If you click on the links that I posted, after slavery was abolished in the US, I would entertain a discussion on monetary damages to the victims, or their descendants, by the US Federal Government for their loss of civil right's and/or murder.
I believe that a more rational argument for US "slave reparations" would be that since the passing of the 13th Amendment of the US Constitution , which banned slavery, in 1865, African Americans were systematically terrorized, brutalized, and murdered, with no Federal government action, until the late 1950's. Is this worthy of a judgment to the survivor's?
any brutality on any person, regardless, and certainly on blacks, must have been and should be punished harshly. But it must be fair too...there are ways to do this...if the government failed and yes, it can be racist too...but white people have been subject to racism too, and even slavery...so we must be careful...I have slave ancestry in caribbean...I deal with discrimination daily especially based on my edication but I never use it as a crutch or need, I use it to push me.
The amount of mineral, petroleum and nat gas stolen from beneath tribal lands in the US is probably so large that we, with $30TRILLION in debt today, could not compensate them for it. Sort of like the 6000 dead kids Netanyahu has just killed: he can’t bring those back.
First we must learn exactly who killed most of the civilians at the rave and in the Kibbutz. Israel went in with the Hannibal Directive and don’t put it past them to murder their own in order to justify something historic like the genocide of Gaza. Israel has a long history of murdering their own people and blaming it on others when it suits them. There are many books on the subject.
Second, we must look carefully at the 7 hour IDF stand down, the removal of weapons from Kibbutz security before the attack, the multiple ignored warnings, and Netanyahu’s “shape of the new mideast map” he held up a month earlier showing no occupied territories.
Israel is treacherous, murderous, scheming and totally free of morality. It is if the colony has rabies.
IT IS NI WONDER OUR HIGHER INSTITUTIONS OF LEARNING ARE TURNING OUT SHIT STUDENTS

By the way, there are lots of stories of murder and rape of Palestinians from the Israelis who did the deeds.
I wonder if Rockford felt "exhilaration" when learning of Hamas Islamist terrorists raping young Israeli women and bowing their brains out while their penis was still inserted? He must be terminated immediately, not shamed into some bullshit fake apology.
Any evidence of rape? Seriously. Is there? Or are rape allegations as credible as 40 decapitated babies?
There's cell phone video evidence. Are you a Muslim Fred?
BTW I'm not a Zionist.
I don’t think there is any evidence of rape. I think that is propaganda bullshit.
Here's the deal containing links:

Enjoy your delusions.
I think this is bullshit. This was completely contrived for the purpose of demonizing Hamas.
Is there any video or were you making that up?
I saw a video several weeks ago. I do not make shit up. Go f yourself and leave me alone friendo.
Show me the evidence that justifies murdering 12,000 to 20,000 innocent people, please.
Where is this evidence? Post a link.
$5 MILLION DOLLAR MAN. A denizen of San Francisco demands reparations for slavery. Listen to Turfseer’s hit song. https://turfseer.substack.com/p/5-million-dollar-man

I actually don't know what you are talking about, I thought that you were referring to slavery in the USA.
I was referring entirely to slavery reparations in the United States of America. Do you care to discuss this issue, or expand it to the "Caribbean"?
I found a pretty good substack dealing with the Israel/Palestine issue:

What did the attack of Hamas accomplish?
did it improve the lives of the people in Gaza ?
i would say, probably not, but if they think it improved their lives... it seems irrational to me.

Speaking of "choice of words", who is responsible for this?:
"is he one to think I & you to pay reparations for actions 500 years ago re SLAVERY?"
Slavery was abolished in 1865 in the US, what country are you referring to regarding the "500 years"?
they involke 500 years ago...caribbean etc. lets not play with words, you know what I mean...reparations or not for slavery etc.???
