A new report out of the UN argues that the United States' history of slavery justifies reparations for black Americans. The report states, “In particular, the legacy of colonial history, enslavement, racial subordination and segregation, racial terrorism and racial inequality in the United States remains a serious challenge, as there has been no real commitment to reparations and to truth and reconciliation for people of African descent.” The report points to recent police shootings of blacks as further evidence to support its conclusion that America is still a white-dominated racist society.

The report suggests that reparations could come in a variety of forms, such as “a formal apology, health initiatives, educational opportunities … psychological rehabilitation, technology transfer and financial support, and debt cancellation.” Interestingly, many of the mentioned reparations have already happened in various forms, but under the classification of “welfare.” And look how well that turned out… More here
UN needs to stay out of the US policies / practices and all other business / politics. The American tax payer supports the UN and pays their operating cost not all the other Countries in the UN contribute their share.

The US needs to quit giving US tax dollars in any form, foreign aid / medical services rebuilding their countries for them etc. Also no Diplomatic immunity and make them pay their fines / their part of the UN the US has compensated for and other expenses they have accrued.
I am getting ready to go postal. Worked very hard all of my life and my worn out mess today is proof of it. I nor my grand parents owned or needed any slave because we did our own work. This is becoming some crazy country. I am not supporting any of the report suggestions. In fact they can apologize to me for aggravation. I'm sick of it.
this country's early days of slavery is of no concern of the u.n. or any other country there are no slaves or slave owners living to present their day in court slavery was an injustice to many ,but the current living generations and the gov't do not owe JACK to anyone let's move on and make this country a better place for all united states CITIZENS
Let's start by forcing the German and Russian population to make reparations to the descendants of millions of Jews and Poles. Better yet, why don't we just withhold funds from this useless organization.
This is total BS.

ReplyDeleteThe ones that want reparations are getting it through social services. The ones that know better have a job.
ReplyDeleteLift yourselves up because nobody is going to help you. Free money only exacerbates the problem by keeping them slaves to the government.
Please they already get everything for free and let's not even start about equality
