U.S. owes black people reparations for a history of ‘racial terrorism,’ says U.N. panel
Washington Post ^ | 9/27/16 | Ishaan Tharoor

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.

If they can prove to the American people that they were slaves and picked one cotton ball, excluding those in aspirin bottles, I think it would be great for the thieving morons at the U.N. to pay them “reparations” with the U.N.’s own money.

Anybody know if the U.N. ***holes have a “United Nations’ Working Group of Experts on People of non-African Descent”?

How about we take all that money we’re paying each year to prop up that anti-Semitic organization called the UN and use those funds to pay reparations to every single person alive today who served involuntarily as a slave in the US. What’s that? There aren’t any alive? They’ve all passed away? Case closed then.

Seriously, though, paying somebody’s descendants for atrocities committed 150 years ago by the very same party that now wants to write the checks is absurdity to the max. Slavery was terrible, but my ancestors never owned slaves so why should my taxes be in play? It’s a shame that the folks who sit around all day and come up with these insane ideas aren’t actually working a meaningful job somewhere. “Idle hands are the devil’s workshop”

So is everyone OK with potential Internet Control transfer to UN???

Folks, we have 2 or 3 days left before ICANN can go offshore to places like China, Brussels, etc. Please read the thread over in Breaking Neews and make a couple calls:

OK. For every dollar paid for reparations, 2 will come out of the US contributions to the UN budget. You will see them reverse their position quickly.

Let’s outline the amount of money needed, likely the value of forty acres and mule for every freedman family in 1865.

Then we’ll deduct for those that actually got reparations, a minority, but it happened. Then we’ll deduct for the price of manumission, lost capital and the cost of a civil war, then we’ll deduct for welfare and other charity over 150 years, as well as for the social costs of increased crime and infrastructure decay.

When it’s all said and done, how much will blacks have to pay us?

There’s slavery going on in this country today but no one in the media cares. Exposing it would ruin their open border narrative.

These globalists at the UN are exactly the kind of tyrants that Hillary would be kowtowing to from day one in the White House. And it wouldn’t be too long before she would be pushing for legislation to create a special tax on Crackers for the creation of a fund for the payment of reparations to every person of color now in the country, or who immigrates here or is born here during the next one hundred years.

The Civil War and 620,000 dead, millions wounded, families destroyed.

The Civil Rights Act, July 1964.

LBJ's 'Great Society' and the 22 trillion redistribution.

Massive Welfare society, Food Stamps, EBT cards and paying to have babies.

Affirmative Action in many areas.

Reverse racism which is getting worse every year.

The communist inspired Black Lives Matter movement.

Enough already!
