CBS: WASHINGTON — Georgetown University will give preference in admissions to the descendants of slaves owned by the Maryland Jesuits as part of its effort to atone for profiting from the sale of enslaved people.
Georgetown president John DeGioia told news outlets that the university in Washington will implement the admissions preferences. He says Georgetown will need to identify and reach out to descendants of slaves and recruit them to the university.
On Thursday morning, a university committee released a report that also called on its leaders to offer a formal apology for the university’s participation in the slave trade. MORE

I have a High School Senior. I keep hearing about all this white privilege, but we are sure not feeling it in the applications process.
How many people with this heritage have the aptitude or ambition to attend G’town? The self loathing white guilt of the left is simply stupid and embarrassing.
LOL! A great way to fuck up the reputation of a school…
Not to worry Georgetown University will be turned into a giant Mosque within the next ten years!
As a distant Irishman I fully support their decision to do something to bring justice to the slavery the Irish endured when first brought to this Country.
With the burgeoning student debt students have these days, anyone that went to college is a slave…
I wonder if their pseudo guilt trip will cause them to give preference to the descendants of the Africans that sold their fellow Africans into slavery. They were, after all, Black and were deeply and personally involved with slavery during that time period!
This country owes me a few million dollars in reparations for the 40 years of white privilege I missed out on! I am pissed and I want my money, NOW!
But can I still major in Womyn’s Studies and can I put 4 years of tuition, room and board, and a new car on my tab?
Careful DjKimboo…..Facts tend to clutter the liberal agenda.
Would my daughter have to bring documentation tracing her ancestors back to known slaves or can she just show up and make the claim? If one only has to make the claim, will “one drop” of black blood from a distant ancestor be sufficient? Will there be a brown paper bag test? How is this going to work exactly?
Taking a clue from Rachel Dolezal, does it matter that my wife and I appear to be very white should my daughter submit her application?
It’s as if every university is participating in some “Race to the Bottom” competition.
Take my advice: Don’t go to college.
Half my family doesn’t talk about their descendants.
So, if obama can take full advantage of his ‘blackness’, who’s to deny our claim that great-great-great grandfather was the water boy on a muslim sloop full of chattel sailing the N African Mediterranean coast? Do we have to publish a novel, err I meant, biography ?
Coming soon to Georgetown U, get a PhD gratis as reparations by guilt ridden monks. It is guaranteed to be worth less than the cheap paper it is Xeroxed on. Can they work any harder at devaluating the worth of a university and its products? Methinks not so much.
Is there some competition among the loons to see who can come up with the most outlandish demands?…why is there such a rush to seek approval from these blithering idiots..I don’t get it
Yep, MLK got his wish. His people are definitely being judged by their character these days.
I like fried chicken and watermelon do I get in on the deal?
Today I feel like a big ugly 200 lb black woman like Mooch! Send me the enrollment forms!
With 70%+ illegitimacy in the past 3 generations many blacks have no idea who their fathers, grandfathers and great-grandfathers were. How are they going to trace their lineage? Maury Povich?
It would be bigger news if Georgetown announced that they had recruited a white basketball player.
Hey, this is great! My great-grandfather was one of the original Sporins (he added the “neo” to his last name when he came to America, to differentiate his branch of the family from our Old World relatives), and one of my uncles was rumored to have Ben-Gay.
So, as you can see, I come from a long line of salves.
Oh, wait —
Phauxcohontas Lizzy Warren will assist any who need to dig in the root cellars for their “black heritage”. She is VERY good at whipping up what is NOT THERE. She and Cankles are ALL OVER THIS. All that is prerequisite is voting Dhimmoratic for the balance of their short lives.
He Georgetown, my ancestors DIED freeing the slaves whose descendants you are giving preferential treatment to. I guess that makes them suckers.
The Georgetown leftist administration don’t need legitimate slave ancestry records of black students to perpetuate this fraud. It’s all about tax based revenue redestributed by the Feds. Where else is most of the money to pay for these scholarships conning from? Thanks to this socialist policy, Georgetown is going to lose most of their private donations faster than Hellary can erase emails.
