How about the UN delegates start out by paying their traffic tickets.

Maybe we can start by converting that huge,multi-story building on the East Side of Manhattan into low income housing for “people of color”.

Who would expect this media hate site to publish such an article? Think of the influence that WaPo has? And when WaPo releases an article, even conservative sites post their articles. It makes no sense.

They can take it out of the $22 trillion dollars extorted from taxpayers and handed over to them since 1964 0n welfare, housing, medical care and other freebies and handouts.

He could push $100k to every snap/ebt card owned by a black person and it’d be done in 1 minute.

Some history regarding slavery:

About 6% of southerners owned slaves. The total percentage of US citizens who owned slaves is somewhere between 1.5% and 3%.

The United States trafficked slaves much less than other nations - namely, Portugal and Spain.

At the start of it all, there were more white Irish slaves than there were black African slaves.

All this being said, is the UN going to ask Portugal and Spain for slavery reparations? What of the Irish slaves? What of the slaves the Romans took? What’s the “statue of limitations” on countries for slavery?

I guessed the UN missed the story about thecYazidi girls being sold in Saudi Arabia recently.

Most Western whites have thrown in the towel and are content to slip quietly into oblivion; blacks will be pressing their outstretched palms to indifferent (or outright hostile) Hispanics and Asians for their freebies. With each passing day there are fewer whites paying into the pot.

Always include public education in that list; it is “free” for many of them (but not us).

Did the UN also call for the countries that ACTUALLY SOLD the slaves to pay up?

or is it racist/islamophobic to point out that is was black muslims in Africa that sold slaves?

Who’s gonna give me reparations for the almost 400 years of brutality and slavery during the Muslim occupation of Southern Europe?

Yet another desperate attempt by lefties to interject race into the upcoming election. Just die WaPo!

Let’s get the UN out of the US... and vice versa, as the saying goes. It’s useless.

The current modus operandi (”follow the makers”) isn’t working because any attempt to attach a welfare population to a productive one falls apart; the target area becomes exclusively “taker” territory. They need to try something else, but they’re running out of time; the white population is quickly diminishing.
