Oh so they’re going global with this nonsense, I see.

Does the UN have enough money to pay reparations?

To be expected. Professors at Howard have IQ’s that fit their demographic: 1.1 SD below the white supremacist mean.

Is the UN also going to pay reparations to right all the wrongs of history?

How many countries have been invaded, conquered, enslaved other people etc throughout history? The list would be very long.

“...Justin Hansford, a leading scholar in critical race theory...”

In other words a bullshit artist and fool. A person who wants nothing more than to inspire hatred and divide people. A terrible excuse for a human being.

There are NO Americans alive today that were held as slaves. Being black or a descendant of slaves does not magically convey damages to you. You’re owed nothing.

Slavery was worse in South American than in North America. Do they get reparations also?

Oh for goodness sakes!

The USA didn’t even have the majority of African slaves.

The Carribean, Brazil, Spanish America had more.

And the funny thing is, descendants of those slaves are a lot less whiney and work far harder than American blacks.

From Newsweek: https://www.newsweek.com/slavery-america-popular-misconceptions-627229#:~:text=Myth%20One%3A%20The%20majority%20of%20African%20captives%20came,Africans%20went%20to%20Brazil%2C%20followed%20by%20the%20Caribbean.

Myth One: The majority of African captives came to what became the United States.

Truth: Only a little more than 300,000 captives, or 4-6 percent, came to the United States. The majority of enslaved Africans went to Brazil, followed by the Caribbean.

Does the Whitey who sweeps floors at McDonalds have his money seized and given to a rich, privileged, POC who gets $400,000 a year?

“The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.”—Thomas Jefferson.

Reparations were paid in blood between 1861 and 1865.
700,000 Patriots and tyrants died. Tens of thousands of others gave arms, legs, eyes for the cause.
Whom were the Patriots? Those on your side no matter what the color of the Uniform. Tyrants were “the other guy.”

Rudyard Kipling said it best about such a thing as “reparations”.

And that is called paying the Dane-geld;
But we’ve proved it again and again,
That if once you have paid him the Dane-geld
You never get rid of the Dane.

I agree that we should pay reparations to all living slaves who were brought to America.

If the thing is that the descendants of the above are to be “paid” then we should calculate the total amount of money already paid in countless government programs over the past 100 years. Unfortunately, that would likely mean they would have to pay “us” back.

I assume that the 5 million would also be tax free.

I served as an expert witness in wrongful death cases for almost 4 decades. The purpose of reparations is the leave the person in a position of financial difference relative to the event. In this case, if it were not for slavery, most blacks would now live in Angola, the Republic of the Congo, and Gabon. Comparing average wages in those countries to average black wages in the US, and doing a present value analysis for 150+ years, it turns out that every black in the US owes non-blacks just over $640,000.

My figures are closer to the truth than the $5 million rectal-pull number they fabricated.

The UN has no such authority. Do you think these African Americans know that?

Crazy ass “perfeser”. They didn’t do anything to deserve a 5 million dollar payday. Most haven’t done a day’s work in their lives.
