Georgetown's slavery announcement is remarkable. But it's not reparations.

Georgetown University did something remarkable this week. The university issued a set of plans to "reconcile" (quoting Georgetown President John J. DeGioia) its role in benefitting from slavery. The plan is a response to work done by the institution's "Slavery, Memory, and Reconciliation" committee, convened in 2015.

    Its's sad that this is "remarkable".

      Indeed. I hope other institutions follow suit, though I think we're seeing the beginning of a critical consciousness of legacy. Rhodes Must Fall precipitated this, though the conversations started some time ago.

        Oh, but one dude wore a t-shirt with "kill all whites" on it, so RMF is totally a "racist organization" because one guy was sarcastic! - Says all of Reddit.
