The United States should consider reparations to African-American descendants of slavery, establish a national human rights commission and publicly acknowledge that the trans-Atlantic slave trade was a crime against humanity, a United Nations working group said Friday.
The U.N. Working Group of Experts on People of African Descent released its preliminary recommendations after more than a week of meetings with black Americans and others from around the country, including Baltimore, Chicago, New York City, the District of Columbia and Jackson, Mississippi.
After finishing their fact-finding mission, the working group was "extremely concerned about the human rights situation of African-Americans," chair Mireille Fanon Mendes-France of France said in the report.

Define ‘racial reconcilation.”
Are blacks going to be required to fix their outrageous levels of violent crime and out-of-wedlock births?
FU UN
step 1 - remove the grievance-mongering US President
This is getting old.
FUUN
What, the communist-started UN require the reverse of abolition of the family?

I support reparations. First take away all the food stamps, free housing, free Obamacare, Obamaphones, etc. Then give every AA family 40 acres and a mule and tell them to support themselves.

There is not one descendant of slave who would be alive today if not for slavery. The genealogical chain would never ever have come together. Never. They should find a slave owner descendant and thank him. If they think that their life matters.
Truth, Justice, and the American Way.
Why doesn’t the UN leave, move out of this hellhole?

Sorry, fellas. We have decided that to continue fighting over every matter is far more enjoyable.
