Legal scholars want UN to order America to pay trillions of dollars in reparations to blacks

African-American law professors and critical race theorists are urging the United Nations to order America to pay millions of dollars to each black citizen, reports the London Daily Mail. That would cost America over $200 trillion, many times the size of its economy. Some left-wing legal scholars claim reparations are required by international human-rights treaties signed by the U.S. or by customary international law.

Their effort reflects the reality that reparations are very unpopular among American taxpayers, so there is little chance that the federal government will pay reparations, unless it is ordered to do so by the UN. 63 percent of Americans oppose reparations, although 57% of voters age 18 to 29 support them.

“Justin Hansford, a professor at Howard University School of Law, led the charge for $5 million payouts to black Americans at the UN this week, flanked by colleagues from the University of Pittsburgh and Columbia University,” says the Daily Mail:

Facts about slavery. Slavery was not started by evil white southerners who hated blacks.

IF, IF, IF they were to get $5m each, within a year, or 6 months, they’d be broke and poor again and all that money would be in the hands of white people..Then we’ll start hearing about how $5m wasn’t enough and they need more..

You can take that to the bank..

It’s slavery that’s the problem, not ethnicity.

Whites would become enslaved to blacks.

That is not justice, it’s revenge.

The UN can kiss my lily white a$$. I’ve been conscripted into paying reparations to those ungrateful and undeserving ba$tards since I was in 7th grade. Enough. Sink or swim, I don’t care anymore.

Reparations have been paid in the form of blood sacrifice.
Over 700,000 dead, tens of thousands who gave up arms, legs, eyes.
As Thomas Jefferson said, “The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.”
Who were the Patriots? Those who wore the same color of uniform as you. The Tryants? The other side no matter what color of uniform it was.

Reparations will not stop the demand for MORE! When they have wasted all their “reparation money” they will be back for more.

Rudyard Kipling said it best.

“And that is called paying the Dane-geld;
But we’ve proved it again and again,
That if once you have paid him the Dane-geld
You never get rid of the Dane.”

I want reparations for the hell that blacks have caused people in America for the last 50 years. Crime, drugs, welfare, affirmative action, out of wedlock marriages, and yes…. Rap.

$200 trillion reparations = slavery

Make no mistake about this. Either we win the next several elections, or they will enslave us.

Those law professors owe trillions in reparations to white people.

Without them the professors would be living in huts or running for their lives from hostile tribes.

The goal is to destroy this country. Sadly, a significant portion of the population agrees with that goal.

This would cause such inflation that Zimbabwe would look fiscally sound in comparison.

$35,000 Big Macs
$1,266 per kilowatt hour.
$127,000 Nike Sneakers

and so on.
