I, for one, am glad the UN has brought this up. I fully believe that any citizen of the United States that has been a slave in this country during some part of their lifetime is deserving of reparations, paid directly by the people that owned them.
Oh, slavery ended in this country 150 years ago? The slaves, and their owners, are all dead now? I guess there is nobody left to get the reparations then. I think that it is awesome that a United Nations' Working Group of Experts on People of African Descent fail to understand that slavery continues in Africa and the Middle East today. I assume that they also determined that the US should pay reparations to the Irish and Scottish as well. I also assume that they found that the following other countries should pay reparations: Great Britain, France, Portugal, Denmark, Belgium, Italy, Spain, Greece, Turkey, every country in Africa, every country in South America, China, Japan, Vietnam, Korea, India, pretty much any country that ends in "stan", Canada, Mexico, and pretty much every other country. Can any country/area/region claim to have never participated in slavery? |

It is, and has been, way past time to yank any and all US funding and support for the UN.

Sure UN....we will just move the funds we give to you to them....done.

We gave black people millions of dollars through the welfare state, why is BLM and the UN still whining about this?
|
|
If they really want oppressors to recompense their victims, how about they start with paying all the survivors of the people they've raped and robbed in their "peacekeeping missions"?

Reminder that Brazil imported far more slaves and abolished slavery later than the US but you never hear people demanding that Brazil should give blacks reparation money.

Would we be the only country that should pay reparations for wrongdoings from our past?
Every other country been well behaved and didn't do anything wrong throughout their history? |

Most of UN is composed of so-called "post-colonial" countries, still in the Bronze Age, but blaming it Whitey.
If a country like Palestine puts forth a declaration that the Earth is flat, this declaration WILL get majority support in the General Assembly. If that declaration also says that the Earth is flat because it has been flattened by Israel and USA, such a declaration WILL receive overwhelming, total support.

The UN, you will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy.

I think it is ony fair to give the slave descendants a standard of living their ancestors are now experiencing in Africa. That is what would have been their legacy and we owe it to them to see that it is restored to them. Fair is fair.

Fuck it. Do it. Take my 401k. I don't give a shit anymore. No kids. Republic's dead. Let's do this.

Who gives a shit at this point ? Let the shit-show begin. Let's give every black guy in the country a million dollars. View Quote I agree! Let the checks start flowing! Sad part is, within less than six months, it would all be back in the economy from them buying "rims", used Cadilacs, Donks, pimp clothes, malt liquor and cheap wine! |

If anything we should send a bill to the heirs of slave traders for the destruction their slaves caused to America

Quoted:
Tell you what. Let's give them a settlement. Let the UN decide what it is. THEN we deduct every single welfare check, low income housing unit, Obamaphone, food stamp, EBT card, EVERYTHING from the debt. Then if the money we paid already is greater than the settlement then they have to figure out a way to pay US. Fuck that shit. There's one race and that's the human race. Nobody don't owe nobody NUFFIN'! View Quote You forgot the white lives that fought to free them and the ones who died in every conflict since then. |

Where's my damn Irish New Orleans canal digging railroad working ancestral reparations? I needs to get PAID. My Feels....and all.

My family was not in this nation when slavery occurred so go scratch.
Turn the UN into luxury condo's |

I got your "reparations" right here...I drop them off at the Oval Office every morning right after my coffee.

Have they expressed their expert opinion on the epidemic of black on white crime? Also, Black on Black Black on Asian Black on Hispanics Black on Women Black on Elderly Black on Children And you wonder why they have such a high number of incarceration. And such a high level of negative stereotypes. |

Tell you what, how about starting with the Dutch, Norse, English, French, Chinese, Japanese, Ottomans, Egyptians, and any other country involved in slavery before the United States and then the UN can still go fuck themselves. View Quote I think you mean to start with the Africans that captured and sold the slaves - right? |

When I want the opinion of a bunch of Third World shitholes, I'll ask them for it. They shouldn't wait around for that to happen.

So historically the US was responsible for 3%-12% of the slave trade but some how only we are responsible for reparations.

In the vernacular of Gonzales Texas....
Hey UN, Come and Take It..... |

Food for thought.....
Currently, blacks make up slightly over 16% of college students, while making up only slightly more than 14% of the population of the US. Whites make up 59% of college students, while making up 63% of the population of the US. Of white college students, 59% are women. 92% of black students received financial aid, while only 77% of white students did. FedGov keeps the statistics, but doesn't make them easy to find. NOTE: I'm a big fan of people being treated equally. Rules are meaningless if we constantly make exceptions to benefit small groups. |

The history of the world appreciates the UN smoke screen. What part of western civilization defeated slavery don't you understand?
Oh, I forgot, western civilization is the enemy. Slavery in the form of a permanent ruling class and subservient plebes to be cemented into an impenetrable caste that will last a thousand years.... |

Quoted:
How much? View Quote That's easy. Determine the number of blacks whom were in slavery. Figure out their average years of useful work. Calculate the amount that they would have earned had they not been slaves. Deduct food and housing. Determine the present value of the total amount. Take out taxes and social security. Divide the number by the number of people claiming their fair share of reparations. At the end of the day it's gotta be worth about $0.87/person |
