Moslem countries who participated in the slave trade should pay reparations to all blacks in the Americas. Does Zanzibar ring a bell?

I believe the best way to solve this problem is this, they can be citizens or they can receive a lump sum of 50k on the condition they relocate back to Africa or wherever country they came from. They may never return to America even as tourists. Neither can their children. If their grandchildren wish to return they may but they must either pay 50k or enlist in the military.

So when does the UN tell Russia and China to compensate the descendants of the Gulags?

UN appointed "experts" badly need teeth punched in. If they think they're big enough, they can send their little blue helmets and we will have a Fascist shoot to get our point across.

UN Who?
So it wasn’t enough that 600,000 Americans
died to end slavery in the US, and countless
other thousands died to end slavery in other
countries?

Fanon Mendes France, one of the authors of the report is the former daughter-in-law of Pierre Mendes-France, the hard left socialist premier of France in the middle 1950’s. During his tenure France left Indo-China. So no real surprise that a red diaper baby would author such a report.

Years go we were at a Freep in Boston and this subject came up. Both Race and I lost family members fighting for the North.

We asked the commie if we should be reimbursed for the loss. The Commie said we should be exempted.

The proof that this is nothing more than UN anti-Americanism:

A fact that all the foremost historians of slavery agree upon is that only 5% of the Black African slaves brought to the Western Hemisphere, came to the region that is now United States.*

Central And South America along with the Caribean received 95% of those slaves .

Why doesn't the UN also demand reparations from Cuba, Mexico**, or other countries of Central & South America? It may be justifiable to exempt Black led countries like Jamaica or Haiti - but Cuba, Mexico, Brazil, and the rest never had even one Black leader (like the US’s Obama).

[The issue of Islam's role in the African (on other) slave trade is to huge to even begin to discuss here.]

A UN expert? That’s like having a really, really, really good outhouse. Same thing.

Yes, break off 12 states and give it to them. Ship them all there , make it a separate country and never allow another black into the remaining 38

The 400,000 dead whites for one.
Trillion plus in welfare to blacks since 1960s for two.
Affirmative action / preferences in hiring, college admissions, scholarships and contract awards for several decades worth that much - three.

We’re done.

The blacks want reparations they can go after the arabs for it.

If we of the World all go after the Arabs for reparations, monetary justice for crimes committed upon our various cultures we could bankrupt them quickly, and make it where they can’t travel to other nations to wage their jihad. They’d have to fight, and kill amongst themselves.

Actually, we should be paid for the work we have done to set men free. Africa and the Middle East, however, have practiced slavery for the last 2000 years. Saudi Arabia, only making it ostensibly illegal in 1980. Most Arab nations STILL practice slavery!
