The United States should give African-Americans reparations for slavery, UN experts said Tuesday, warning that the country had not yet confronted its legacy of “racial terrorism.”

Amid a presidential election campaign in which racial rhetoric has played a central role, the UN working group on people of African descent warned that blacks in the United States are facing a “human rights crisis.”

Its time to evict the UN from Turtle Bay there in New York and get the heck out of this globalist cabal.

Trump could put a nice hotel there and turn a loss into a profit.

I'm sure Hans Blix could find a nice place in Africa for them to molest the locals.

What farce the U.N is - new world order - weak!

We want America back! Go Trump Go.

How about the nations of the UN pay their bills? I say kick em out of New York—let em go to Europe or some places else.

BS. They should give rewards to the USA for ending slavery.

Slavery still continues as it once did in Muslim and African countries. They should be paying the reparations to us.

No one now living ever contributed to the maintenance or advancement of slavery....children and grandchildren, etc. can’t be legitimately held responsible for the actions of their ancestors.

Furthermore it would be nothing more than another ‘redistribution of wealth’ scam.... taking money from someone who has never owned a slave and giving it to someone who has never been enslaved.

Most importantly....Hundreds of thousands of people have already died for them to be free in the civil war that blacks alone could not do for themselves......hundreds of years have passed to unite their people to better themselves rather than fight and kill between them.

Two of my three ancestors who volunteered to wear the Blue didn't come back to Illinois. One after Shiloh, the other on the Red River. The other half were still in Prussia, starving.

Explain why I should pay one red effing cent. These people are getting very close a line.

You’re correct. And my family came here in 1899.

This is the same UN whose troops prostituted children and stood around during the Rawandan genocide right?

There is a whole list of dreams for Trump to execute. One is to get out of the UN and throw their asses out of the US. They are nothing but a bunch of libtard freaks drunk with imagined power.

Correct me if I’m wrong.

95% of the people stolen from Africa were taken to the Caribbean and South America.

Who’s paying from those locations?

Not only did the civil war free blacks at the cost of thousands of Americans life, do do for the black population what they could not do for themselves.... but decades of affirmative action programs with the great expense of these at ever level of governance should have been received with gratitude......

Furthermore....As Lincoln said....All blacks descended from slaves are more than compensated for the damage of slavery by the good fortune of living in the United States. Every black in the United States is much better off economically, legally, politically, and morally than any black living in Africa.
