Grievance Professors Demand Reparations

Righting Wrong When “Sorry” Isn’t Enough

How should federal governments attempt to right, or at least remedy, past wrongs? Is it appropriate for victims of group-based harms or their descendants to press current generations to atone for the sins of their predecessors? Grace Kao, Professor of Ethics and the inaugural Sano Chair in Pacific and Asian American Theology at Claremont School of Theology, explores these questions by drawing upon the emerging human rights standard for reparations, theological resources from her Presbyterian faith tradition, and four case-studies of acknowledged wrongdoing against AAPI communities.

She argues that non-whites should combine their grievances to get million dollar payoff for supposed injustices to remote ancestors.

The main gripes are:

1. Chinese were not allowed to become American citizens, a century ago.

2. Japanese aliens were relocated from the west coast, during WWII.

3. Some Filipino fought for the USA in WWII, but never got citizenship.

4. Hawaiians had native sovreignty in 1893, before becoming a USA territory.

None of these were wrongs, and even if they were, none deserve remedies. These grievance professors suffer some sort of White envy, or they are just grifters trying to get free money.

Glenn Greenwald calls out Ben Shapiro for saying Jews would not accept reparations. It turns out that Jews in Israel are aggressively demanding reparations all the time, and have collect $90 billion from Germany.
