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."

Don’t forget all those countries that claimed and controlled African countries and all the African and Arab/Muslim countries that still have slaves
“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.”
I agree. Repatriations should commence immediately.
My guess
More free obama phones or free internet, probably both...
Obama will Free them from Prison before he leaves and then start his new Reparations Job at the UN
>>The UN needs to make a list of countries that, over their history, abused people. For each country the abuses would be summarized. Then they can put the list in order from best to worst. Well see where America stands in the list.
I agree. Making a reparation of slavery is particularly stupid since slavery is still practiced in the world, and it has been practiced since the dawn of man, and only one nation has ever fought a war against itself to free its own slaves.
Blame the muslims. They started it.
Whites did NOT enslave Blacks.
Your Public School are bigots. 98% of Whites never owned slaves.
Democrats enslaved Blacks. Democrat bigots blame shift on to Whites.
And who enslaved the White Irish?
let’s face it, it is war if we want this country back..or God will kill the beast
No! The blacks owe Americans for all the crime and parasitic behavior they have unleashed on this great country!
Can you smell the Secret Deal Obama made with the UN to Bleed the US Dry ?
Uh...no, I don’t. And, the UN needs to go away.
It’s time to get the US out of the UN, and the UN out of the US.
Thank you.
The check’s in the mail!
As soon as the decide that the African tribes that captured and sold the other africans and the muslim nations that were the slavers have to pay then we can talk. Until then the UN can piss off.
Only after they have repaid the US taxpayers for 50+ years of welfare.
We could use all the money the UN owes us for unpaid parking tickets to give to blacks. That would probably cover the entire amount.
It goes: "People who live in glass houses shouldn't piss off their neighbors who own scoped hunting rifles."
Or something like that.
My ancestors were being oppressed by the Czar of all the Russias at the time of slavery, and well into the Jim Crow era. I, personally, never owned a slave, nor did anybody in my family, living or dead, who ever lived in the United States. I might add that no one alive currently was ever legally held as a slave in the United States. How any non-slave holder owes any non-slave any reparations of any kind for slavery, is well beyond my ability to comprehend.
In fact comma this absurd concept is so far beyond my ability to comprehend, that I must warn any fascist, tyrannical SOB in the UN that they will have to endure a rather unpleasant conversation with some tubular steel that I own before I will even consent to discuss this issue, let alone pay anything. In other words, fuck the UN!
What about the Sudan... when did they end slavery? 2008 I think it was.
