U.S. owes black people reparations for a history of ‘racial terrorism,’ says U.N. panel
The Washington Compost ^ | September 27, 2016

Posted on 09/27/2016 4:06:11 PM PDT by BradtotheBone

The history of slavery in the United States justifies reparations for African Americans, argues a recent report by a U.N.-affiliated group based in Geneva.

This conclusion was part of a study by the United Nations' Working Group of Experts on People of African Descent, a body that reports to the international organization's High Commissioner on Human Rights. The group of experts, which includes leading human rights lawyers from around the world, presented its findings to the United Nations Human Rights Council on Monday, pointing to the continuing link between present injustices and the dark chapters of American history.

"In particular, the legacy of colonial history, enslavement, racial subordination and segregation, racial terrorism and racial inequality in the United States remains a serious challenge, as there has been no real commitment to reparations and to truth and reconciliation for people of African descent," the report stated. "Contemporary police killings and the trauma that they create are reminiscent of the past racial terror of lynching."

Citing the past year's spate of police officers killing unarmed African American men, the panel warned against "impunity for state violence," which has created, in its words, a "human rights crisis" that "must be addressed as a matter of urgency."

Let’s compare the U.S. to whichever African country anyone wants to choose, then pay reparations based on the difference between what any American black has here versus what they would have in their African nation. Then make the payment contingent upon their return to said nation and a renunciation of U.S. citizenship.

My guess is there’ll be no takers. Because where they are is way better than where they’d be if slavery never happened.

Okay UN. come and get what’s not yours to give away. I need to sight my scope in a little better anyway. As I’ve said before in the past, I’ve worked one day out of every week to pay taxes to pay for their freebies for almost 40 years. If that’s not enough eff ‘’em.

The un panel is probably made up of degenerates from dictatorships and other assorted asshats. STFU. Try collecting, you losers.

Give to any black people who are interested all the summonses for unpaid parking tickets and traffic tickets ignored by UN officials through diplomatic immunity; let those folks keep any amounts they’re able to collect. I’m fine with any “reparations” Americans of any color are able to collect from those UN slugs.

I’d have to agree that reparations are in order. Since the Democratic party committed 95% or more of the offenses cited by the UN Committee, I think the Democrats should pay. Since our justice system is based upon monetary damages for injury, each registered Democrat should be assessed 25% of their accumulated wealth to be redistributed to the injured tribes and their members.

I pay my taxes and they have been getting their “REPARATIONS” from there since before they were born!

Time for them to pay rent for being here.

I’m not saying this is authoritative but read this link:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_slavery

Slavery is endemic to the Human Condition it appears, prevalent since time immemorial. This absurd report by a UN group that was told to write a report that supports such and such a finding is just Sorosism. Frig them all.

The socialists are doing everything they can to influence the U S election. With Trump doing well in the black community, the UN is trying to inject division by bringing up reparations. I am sure it will be a question in the next election and Cankles will be all in for it as a clear attempt to get the black Trump supporters back on the Democrat plantation.

What about Spain and England and the Netherlands, etc. ... and other countries who ran slave operations in the Caribbean, S. America, Mexico and Asia as well? Come on UN, what about it?

Of the Africans that were transported to the New World as slaves the smallest number came to what is now the USA.

What about all these other countries and their colonies?

Move the UN to some African nation and see how much they’ll enjoy living there.

The ~25 unarmed blacks killed by police annually are a “human rights crisis” but 8000 blacks murdered by other blacks are not. Madness.
