A United Nations working group visiting the United States walks away "extremely concerned about the human rights situation of African Americans," members said in a preliminary report released Friday, in which they urged the US government to address the legacy of slavery with "reparatory justice," a national human rights commission, and ongoing criminal justice reform.
"The colonial history, the legacy of enslavement, racial subordination and segregation, racial terrorism, and racial inequality in the US remains a serious challenge as there has been no real commitment to reparations and to truth and reconciliation for people of African descent," wrote members of the UN Working Group of Experts on People of African Descent, at the conclusion of a 10-day trip to the United States.
The Working Group is preparing a final report to deliver in September 2016, as part of the International Decade for People of African Descent, which the UN began in 2015 to recognize and remedy the ongoing impacts of slavery and colonialism on more than 200 million people of African descent living around the world. Many of its preliminary recommendations are drawn from a similar report following a study visit to the US in 2010.

"Vote for us and you'll get a biiiiig check!"
Then let the UN pay them WITHOUT the dues that we give the UN.
U.n. Currently you have no say in what occurs in the U.S.. So, stfu.
Don’t full reparations include relocation to one’s continent of ancestry?
Totally off topic .... every time I see your screen name, I think of Tom Clancy’s book “Teeth of the Tiger” .... even though you are ‘Claws’, not ‘Teeth’. Good book, by the way.
yep...it will be on their platform for sure. they need to jazz up that base to go vote, twice in most places.
“Reparatory Justice” means “ship them back to Africa”.
It would be the fair thing to do
Nearly everyone involved in slavery has been dead for a century now.
Already paid for in the form of welfare and other large entitlements. A few decades ago.
Seems like there may have been an overpayment.
The UN should go after current-day slavers in the muslim countries.
The Africans were originally sold to Americans and Europeans by other Africans. Seems like Africa owes the most for starting the whole thing...
Get back to us when you’ve dealt with the slave trade ongoing in Africa this very day.
The real honest way to repay blacks is to give them free passage back to the land of their ancestors origins...
That should please them more than anything...
Going HOME!!!!!
Great. Nine more interminable years of hearing this self-righteous whining. U.S. out of the UN and the UN out of the U.S.
Each UN person deserves lashes and floggings; they are good for their souls.
apparently they failed to visit the Top 12 Richest African Americans of 2015:

“Nearly”? You’d be hard-pressed to find still-living offspring of the involved.
Obama already has the Reparation Plan drawn up and ready to go
Illegal aliens will ask for reparations, too.
They work like slaves and are refused full citizenship.
