I’ve come to the conclusion it’s the only answer. One-way boat rides to Kenya.

The obscenity of such a proposition is enough to withdraw U.S. membership U.N., and kick them out of the U.S.

The $18 TRILLION spent on welfare & benefits since LBJ’s votebuying scheme, called “the war on poverty,” was instituted should have taken care of that. However, if the UN is so bothered by the plight of our Blacks,we could take our funding from the UN thugs and give it to the poor in this country. Funding the UN is an even bigger waste of tax money than welfare.

They are never satisfied.

Their basic premise is wrong. It is that guilt is inherited through DNA, and that guilt jumps over to people who have the same skin shade as the guilty ones but don’t have the required DNA.

So they won’t you claim that you are guilt free by reason of not having slaveholders in your ancestry. Guilty because you have light skin like the descendents of slaveholders.

They’re trying to say that slavery benefited only the whites in this country. Wrong. It benefited everyone, including modern-day blacks.

Yes, slavery was an injustice. But it’s over. We are not guilty for it.

“they urged the US government to address the legacy of slavery with “reparatory justice,””

Even after “reparatory (sp) justice” is served, they would not be any further out of the woods.

Indeed.

A toddler “slave” in 1865, someone with no conscious memory of slavery, who fathered a child at 60, that child would be about 93 today, give or take a year.

At that rate (becoming a after at 60) it might be conceivable that there is a 33 year old whose grandfather had been born into slavery even if he’d never remembered it personally. But don’t bet on there being more than a tiny number of such people.

” “extremely concerned about the human rights situation of African Americans,” “

You mean the rich ones?

Even the poorest blacks in the U.S. live better than 99% of Africans.

I am willing to pay any surviving, former slave, reparations.

Anyone offspring born after December 6, 1865 is ineligible.

This should be a joke but I'm sure it isn't.

Right after I get my reparatory payments for the mistreatment of my scottish and Irish ancestors by the british, and my reparatory payment from the Italians for the way the Romans mistreated them also. And right after I get my reparatory payments from the vikings and the barbary pirates and anyone and everyone who has ever mistreated my ancestors!

I am all for reparations as long as they paid ENTIRELY by the Democrat Party, which should also be banished from all public venues because of its history as the slavery party.

Oh, and there should be NO Muslim nations in the UN, since slavery is one of the Five Pillars of Islam and Islam’s history of Slavery is orders of magnitude more egregious than that of the U.S.A.
