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...
