The Useless Nations should keep their trap shut and get out of the United States, and the United Stated should get out of the Useless Nations

Not sure the total being calculated the UN, consider the following:

1-S. America, Cuba, Africa held more slaves than the US.
2-US slave owners are recorded as taxed and can be identified
3- Only 5% slave owners part of citizens (documented)
African Americans owned slaves about 20% (documented)
5-Would paying for the non-slave owners pay?
6-Were payments for land, mile, and trip to Monrovia reduce $
7-Would government payments already account for $
8-Would affirmative action already account for $
9- Working the AA demographic areas distressing real estate value account for $
10-Would the cost for the abnormally crime and police, Courts, and prison account for $

“I still don’t understand why the Hispanics get a free pass from the so called U.N. after what they did to the indigenous people in Mehico, Central and South America.”

Really? Its because of liberal white guilt and that hispanics don’t typically suffer from that syndrome. Remember the media narritive that has been shoved down our throats for years now: white men are evil. Every “person of color” is a noble victim of that evil white man. We have to push back against this BS at every instance.

In addition, there were many free blacks in the south before the Civil War who were slaveholders.

Yet, no condemnation for those Muslim countries which have sharia law? Women, Gays, and Christians/minorities live in constant fear of stoning, being thrown from tall buildings, incineration, and/or beheading.

Furthermore, women are treated as slaves under sharia law.

How abut restitution for those injustices in the Muslim countries????

Hmmm. Maybe someone should give them a faux-kaw-hauntus type biotch slap. Sit down and shut up. “The senator will take her seat.” That was freaking awesome. I laugh every time I see it. Warms the cockles of my heart. Whatever that is. ;-)

>> I would hate to see what we would owe to the Native Americans American Indians.

Well, you could read all the treaties we violated, and then do the math.

“I still don’t understand why the Hispanics get a free pass from the so called U.N. after what they did to the indigenous people in Mehico, Central and South America. The Spaniards “discovered”, “conquered” and murdered them.”

Because they also raped them, and because of that they now have enhanced melanin, combined with non english, is woven by liberals into super kryptonite shielding against any and all history

You showed $ 949 billion in Welfare Payments...”””

Many Fed agencies include Social Security payments in that WELFARE number.

That is a complete insult to me and millions of ovthers who worked all of our lives & paid into social security what they demanded.

Reparations? Where's *MY* Freedom? As a productive, white male, every payday, I'm reminded I'm *STILL* an indentured servant\slave. Govt (and the public) only pay lip service to the 13th; but it's easy to see is slavery by degree, regardless of the 'protections' of numerous Amendments.

The folks who ‘owe reparations’ to blacks are mostly Africans and Arabs.
You know, the folks who captured and sold them?

We have paid trillions and trillions in welfare, not even to mention the blood, sweat and tears of the MAJORITY of white people in this country to correct an ancient, pre-American institution.

We have slavery today, and it’s not just human trafficking; it’s debt slavery.

A car costs an entire years gross salary; whereas 40 years ago, it did not.

A house costs 6-7 times (or more) ones gross annual salary; whereas 40 years ago, it did not.

Food, forced/required car insurance, medical insurance, home insurance, utilities regulated by the government, all cost more now than ever before, and take more out of your NET salary.

Now, paying for your car, your house, your forced/required insurance(s), food, utilities, etc., one wonders why there’s no savings for most Americans? Why we have a $30,000-40,000 revolving debt per person?

Personally, I can say I am I’m roughly $190,000 in debt. My truck is paid for (after 6 years), and my house is 1/3 paid for after 13 1/2 years (on a 30 year mortgage). So, yeah. that’s still slavery.
