African-American law professors and critical race theorists are urging the United Nations to order America to pay millions of dollars to each black citizen, reports the London Daily Mail. That would cost America over $200 trillion, many times the size of its economy. Some left-wing legal scholars claim reparations are required by international human-rights treaties signed by the U.S. or by customary international law.
Their effort reflects the reality that reparations are very unpopular among American taxpayers, so there is little chance that the federal government will pay reparations, unless it is ordered to do so by the UN. 63 percent of Americans oppose reparations, although 57% of voters age 18 to 29 support them.
“Justin Hansford, a professor at Howard University School of Law, led the charge for $5 million payouts to black Americans at the UN this week, flanked by colleagues from the University of Pittsburgh and Columbia University,” says the Daily Mail:

HEY!!

The greatest beneficiaries of slavery are the descendants of slaves. The only reason they were ever even born was because slavery brought their ancestors together to procreate. Otherwise those people almost certainly never would have met each other to creat genetically unique offspring. I am not saying slavery was a good thing or that we should be proud of it but we need to understand that sometimes even bad circumstances can create good for some people. Slavery directly led to the descendants of slaves receiving the most valuable thing in the world…..life.

What about just telling the obvious affirmative action negro grifter “law scholars” to go pound sand. And that they won’t get a ****** *** **** cent of the hard earned money that they’re too lazy to steal themselves and want the government to steal it for them.
This is silly. The UN can’t order any such thing. Just a stunt by these “professors” to get attention.
Oh I fully encourage them going full bats*** with this. It might finally wake up some of the sheep to what these race grifters like BLM are all about.
Right.
The academic idiots seem to have forgotten that the great majority of Africans sold into slavery were destined for Brazil and the Caribbean.
Portugal/Brazil exported and received almost 20 times the number of Blacks as did the United States.
Britain imported almost as many to their Caribbean holdings.
France, Spain/Uruguay, and the Netherlands all handled more slaves than the US.
Haha! I think you’re onto something there! They just look ridiculous, really they do.
How it’ll work will be like every other government social program - about 10% of the cash will make it into the hands of the “deserving” and the other 90% will go to support the government infrastructure and employees who manage the program.
