U.S. owes black people reparations for a history of ‘racial terrorism,’ says U.N. panel
Washington Post ^ | 9/27/16 | Ishaan Tharoor

The history of slavery in the United States justifies reparations for African Americans, argues a recent report by a U.N.-affiliated group based in Geneva.

This conclusion was part of a study by the United Nations' Working Group of Experts on People of African Descent, a body that reports to the international organization's High Commissioner on Human Rights. The group of experts, which includes leading human rights lawyers from around the world, presented its findings to the United Nations Human Rights Council on Monday, pointing to the continuing link between present injustices and the dark chapters of American history.

F the UN. One of the first things Trump should do is stop all payments to the UN. Then announce that the United States will drop out of this communists organization and kick it out of NY.

They got their reparations with the Great Society. They just squandered it.

Of course certain Arab nations owe A-A reparations

This also smacks as a prelude setup for Hillary to offer reparations to stem the slippage of A-A voters to Trump.

My theory on what is happening here.

Obama talked it up and told the U.N. dictators and commies that he has a congress he can push around. He will ask the U.N. to oversee the large sum the congress will approve if he is elected U.N. chief and then it will be another slush fund for them, Obama included.

Reality is reparations started in 1964 and it annihilated the black intact family and made more poor except for the “black leaders”

“”United Nations’ Working Group of Experts on People of African Descent””

What in Sam Hill makes that demographic worthy of so much special attention? There are other continents on this planet - other countries, believe it or not. They need to get busy on the genocide in the ME caused by obozo’s friends....NOW! They can’t say genocide any easier than he can say Islamic terrorists....

Black people are coddled in this country compared to the rest of the world and that includes Africa.

Well, my greatgrandfather was in the Union army and was a prisoner of war for a time until there was a prisoner exchange.

The mental defect with these people just gets more and more obvious.

If I could go back in time and convince those in charge to never let any slaves into America, particularly from Africa, I would and it would mean we as a nation would have so much more national pride today than we do.

Our ancestors really screwed up bringing Africans here from Africa when they didn’t want to come.

The least they could have done is offer work to those from other countries but they chose a path that would forever harm America. Forever.

I’m getting so sick of hearing the Africans whine. We should just offer to send them back to Africa with $10k in seed money to get started in their homeland and be done with them. They would need to take all of their family with them and we could add money to help them too. Just so sick of this nonsense at this point...

I think we should start with the obozo family and go from there. They act like it isn’t hard to make it America for just them. BS. It’s hard for everyone thanks to the African in the White House right now.

This is what happens when you feed the animals. More and more demands are made, and the animals take bolder actions in getting their handouts.

Tell you what: I’ll buy you a ticket to Liberia and we’ll call it good.

Hey UN: why don’t you send your army to take reparations from the US? Cause that’s what you will need to do ...

Oh, you don’t have an army? Nor any money to speak of without the US? Then SFTU. Stop fanning the flames you worthless, gutless prigs ...

Personally, I think the Democrat Party ought to be shut down and all of its assets liquidated to pay reparations.

And anyone who ever voted for Democrat ought to have to pay something too. Those who donated to it should have to pay more.
