The history of slavery in the United States justifies reparations for African Americans, argues a recent report by a U.N.-affiliated group based in Geneva.
This conclusion was part of a study by the United Nations' Working Group of Experts on People of African Descent, a body that reports to the international organization's High Commissioner on Human Rights. The group of experts, which includes leading human rights lawyers from around the world, presented its findings to the United Nations Human Rights Council on Monday, pointing to the continuing link between present injustices and the dark chapters of American history.
"In particular, the legacy of colonial history, enslavement, racial subordination and segregation, racial terrorism and racial inequality in the United States remains a serious challenge, as there has been no real commitment to reparations and to truth and reconciliation for people of African descent," the report stated. "Contemporary police killings and the trauma that they create are reminiscent of the past racial terror of lynching."
Citing the past year's spate of police officers killing unarmed African American men, the panel warned against "impunity for state violence," which has created, in its words, a "human rights crisis" that "must be addressed as a matter of urgency."

The UN can go F itself!
No, the US does not.
WHAT a load...
Here’s a different idea. Think on it UN.
Once Trump is president, why dont each and every one of you and the representatives from the Bastard Israel/US hating states that are allowed to take part, go #### your mothers, THEN find new jobs when Trump destroys funding.
McD’s is hiring.
The days of whores, narcotics and blocking traffic without concern are over for the UN.
I think the US owes the United Nations and its insufferable, worthless, excessively paid bureaucrats a MASSIVE REDUCTION IN AMERICAN CONTRIBUTIONS once Donald Trump takes office.
They’ve already had their reparations. They were called welfare and affirmative action.
Well the Arab traders who sent them here can pony up the majority of what the UN thinks they are owed. Once we see they have paid maybe we will consider it. And maybe not.
We pay for maybe 25% of the whole UN budget, give them a place to stay in NYC.
They need TO LEAVE.
BS!
Not from me. I had no personal responsibility for any harm done by slavery, and so I have no personal duty or guilt.
Mo money
mo money
here we go
here we go
The total spent on the War on Poverty is a sum large enough to buy EVERY share of EVERY company on the NYSE, with enough left over to buy EVERY acre of farmland in the USA.
Of course only the US is targeted and all the money will end up in Obama’s and his terrorist buddies’ hands.
600,000 dead is enough reparations.
I have one thing to say: NUTS!
The slaves are all dead. How will they spend it?
