Hearing this, one couldn't help but think of how frequent it is for white folk to make an accusation that something "divisive" is taking place whenever people of color stand up for their rights.

Seeing this, one can't help but think how there is an apparent double standard applied to 'white folk' and anyone of another race. It's about as derogatory as 'you people'. I never could stand to hear someone talk about another person's race that way. White folk? What pray, are 'white folk'? I'm not white!! I'm Scotch-Irish-Cherokee

And what are we supposed to do about the Africans who sold their enemies into slavery? Is the whole continent of Africa supposed to pay itself back? I can see the IMF trying to pawn that off on the industrialized nations one day. "You see these nations need a loan to pay themselves for reparations against themselves". And what's worse is that someone somewhere is going to okay it as a'nation building proposal'

It seems that the UN would be better off addressing the ongoing slave trade between Africa and the Middle East which has never abated since it began. There are living slaves who could be freed and families who actually deserve reparations for losing a loved one to slavery within their lifetimes. That would involve going after citizens of UN member nations backing this phony reparations movement now, so let's not hold our breaths.

What about the Africans enslaving blacks today?
