U.S. owes black people reparations for a history of ‘racial terrorism,’ says U.N. panel

Huh, must be April Fools day? As soon as you head down this road, you have to make the same judgement for every group ever oppressed, which means you have Native Americans, Filipinos (yes we did some bad things there in the 20's), Irish, Italians, etc. What about the British? We beat them up a couple of times, and took their colonies away... Come to think of that, then every colonial country (80% of the world) has a claim against their former masters, and, oh yea, the Maya and Incan Indians have a really good claim against the Spanish. We haven't even begun to debate the legality of a quasi-self appointed group telling a sovereign nation they owe...But I am sure there will be lot's of lawsuits with this. If it comes to pass, I will lobby my Represenative to get back all the welfare money spent on everyone, with interest, since reparations would address that as well...what a mess...

    I read this report by another writer elsewhere this morning. I'm going to repeat what I read in the reader remarks column beneath it~

    "The first freed slave is welcome to step right up and receive his reparations."

    That comment was only in regard to the USA, of course, Other remarks looked pretty much like what I'm reading here.
    The UN has become a stupid joke. I've read here and there that Obama want to be its chairman.
    Should that happen, guess I'll call him The Joker after that Batman villain.

    No black person living today in America was ever enslaved, and no white American living today ever owned slaves. I don't owe those whiners and "victims" anything, and they don't owe me anything.

    My great-great-great-great grandparents were some sort of serfs in Denmark and Sweden and maybe Norway. The state of Minnesota thus owes me reparations! Now, now! Or I'll sing "Nu er det Jul igen" until everyone dies of it.

    Most of the other nations that make up the UN subject minorities, women, and minor children to horrific repression. Tribal conflict in those lands destroys lives and national wealth, senselessly. It is the height of hypocrisy for that body to be calling for our nation, which has spent trillions of dollars to elevate the minority condition, to pay reparations.

    The question is just how long the U.S. is going to continue our masochistic relationship with that corrupt body. I say send the whole pack of bandits back to Geneva, where they can share quarters with the EU corruptocrats.

    Wasn't it reparations that created conditions for the rise of Hitler? These people never learn.
    Typical reporting by the Dark Center Post and typical socialist accusations by the UN.
    One of the statists best weapons that helps them to concentrate more power is accusation of racism to set groups against each other and distract from who is currently guilty of pushing millions into serfdom and slavery under their UN masters.

    i am so DONE with black people and their entitlements. I didnt bring any of their grand daddys over tight pack, and I dont think any of them are still alive. So its time for a reset. I am not racist, but I AM a culturist and I dont like the entitled cultures of today, which unfortunately includes a LOT of the black people. Obama has made it worse by coddling them too.

    I am one of the basket of deplorables for sure, and I am NOT politically correct. But these are my thoughts as of today.

    It seems that paradigm never changes except for how it is executed...more and more subtle each time throughout history.

    Maybe, I should condense it a little and put it on an electronic billboard...

    Thank you, it is absurdity magnifico. The whole "You done me wrong" thing will daisy chain into forever, because every nation has done it, some intentionally, some not. How about all the countries that used debtor prisons, and turned people into slaves through indentured service? That is just as much damage as any other. How about being indentured to the Government for 4.5 months of each year to give them their loot? You are right on the money, Carl...now give it to every sad excuse you can find, YOU OWE!

    I think the UN owes everyone reperations not just for what they are doing now but what every country in the UN has done to mankind in general.

    How about Africa paying back themselves for slavery, the same goes for all muslim countries and what about Egypt, Rome and china...they owe mankind a lot too!

    How about the Cannibals give us back all the human bodies they eat...Hell, lets go after the Anunikki on planet Niburu for the nephilim and for molesting our daughters? How about all the aliens that mutilated all our cows in the Midwest?

    See how ridiculous it gets?
