White Guilt!!!

(did your daddy own any slaves....?"

[Gaffer]

Yep....me and my sister.

[Cowgirl of Justice]

Let’s start with the UN paying reparations to its sexual slavery and trafficking victims first.

[Salamander]

LOL

“..Let’s start with the UN paying reparations ...”

(then) Lets just get the UN out of USA!(?)

Fat chance. Even if Zero wanted to stroke a check this morning there is no way it would happen. Putting pallets of cash on a plane to Iran was far too easy. Logistically, no way to pull this off with weeks to go.

[Mjreagan]

Well that settles it, I’m convinced.

[Bullish]

Wrong! It’s the UN that owes us millions and millions.

[Jonty30]

Obama can’t do it, but President Hilary can do it.

My ancestors came on the Mayflower, we have have had an ancestor serve in every major military engagement the US has ever had. We owe no one anything.

Blacks already get what they are calling for. Apologies, welfare, education, Obamaphone, yet they continue to hate whites, disproportionately commit crimes, abort and kill each other at higher rates than cop shootings or lynchings ever happened.

My ancestors arrived post Civil War. Just how are reparations to be collected?

[Vaquero]

I’d rather pay to have wrecking balls and explosives remove that eyesore rectangle on the East River. Send the UN to Europe where it fits in.

[exnavy]

There will not be reparations.

[kimtom]

I think most Black Americans just want to work , raise families, and live peacefully (like everyone else).

It is these Hate mongers that will ruin it for everyone.

(we know who to blame....)

[maddog55]

If that’s their take then black people owe the US trillions for putting up with their bullshxt ever since.

[Vaquero]

I want reparations for all the welfare, food stamps, crime, etc. that descendants of Slaves have cost me in taxes

[captnemo1]

Funny how the USA should pay but not anybody else. Not the slavers today in the middle east. Not the Germans after WWII. Not the Russians after Stalin. Not these people or those people, just some people. And only some people. Only some people should pay other people for something that happened 150 years ago to make up for something that is happening today that nobody will talk about, because that would be racist. WTF?!?

Is Deray McKesson on this UN committee? If so, when was the election and who voted him in???
What are the names of all the committee members, and in what countries do they live?
The UN has no legal authority in the United States.

[NorthMountain]

NO.

Your move.
