The UN human rights chief on Monday urged countries to take “a wide range of reparations measures” to address the legacies of slavery, colonial rule and racial discrimination.
Michelle Bachelet made the comment while presenting a report into racism worldwide and its impact on people of African descent.
The report was called for following the murder of (b)lack man George Floyd by a white US police officer in 2020.
Research “could not find a single example of a state that has comprehensively reckoned with its past or accounted for its impacts on the lives of people of African descent today,” Bachelet said.
This was despite some attempts by means of apologies, litigation and memorializing.
Bachelet recommended that countries “create, reinforce and fully fund comprehensive processes — with full participation of affected communities — to share the truth about what was done, and the harms it continues to inflict.” …

So decendants of black slave owners and black slave traders have to pay? Did t Barack and kamalas ancestors have slaves too?
Michelle Bachelet, thinking to herself: I love my highly-paid, do-nothing job here the UN. What can I do to ensure that I’ll have this job for years to come?
I know. I’ll whine about climate change! Oh, wait. That’s subject has been beaten to death by that little twerp Greta Thunberg. Hmm...how about demanding reparations for slavery? Yeah, that’s the ticket.
I’ve just got to be careful not to mention the Arab or Black slavers.
Start with COVID Reparations -
Que Mala’s did
Slavery was bigger in South America than in North America. Let me know when the UN calls for reparations in South America. In South America, the average lifespan of an imported slave was ten years.
Kuwait and most Moslem countries engage in slavery RIGHT NOW.
What’s the UN want them to do?
There will be causes of action based on injury and death, I’ll wager
Sons being held for their fathers debt went out with the Magna Carta.
What are my "rights"?
Send the bill to the original slave merchants...the Arabs
Someone needs a big helping of STFU.
The UN should be moved to North Africa. Maybe from there, they could see the slavery trade still going on there.
OK then, Sammy Davis Jr wins the world. Black, Jewish, and visually handicapped. Where can I send the check?
I guess you’d have to send it to his estate.
Sure.
Since all of North America had 388,000 slaves imported of the 10.7 million imported to the Americas, the US will foot 2.9% of the bill.
Portugal and Brazil will, of course each take much more.
And the English, who imported Irish slaves — er, indentured servants —- in far greater numbers than African slaves will need to step up for the Irish.
After all the Irish (and a number of others under peonage) were not released until 1865, with the passage of the 13th Amendment, which is, interestingly long after African slaves were freed in the Confederate states.
And while we’re at it, the Italians, be Romans, better step up for what they did in Gaul and Britannia.
And for that matter, what they did in Israel.
And, heck, let’s not forget what the Egyptians did.
And what the Bantu are currently doing all over Africa.
And what Japan did in Korea.
And China does now, pretty well all over.
And. . . . .
I’m sure he still votes so I can look up his address there.
No, and no.
The former has been paid.
The latter, just...no. Stop it before it becomes a real thing and you deeply, deeply regret starting it.
lol Que Mala- good one
