US owes blacks reparations over slavery: UN experts

[brassmonkey]

Geneva (AFP) - The United States should give African Americans reparations for slavery, UN experts said Tuesday, warning that the country had not yet confronted its legacy of "racial terrorism."

Amid a presidential election campaign in which racial rhetoric has played a central role, the UN working group on people of African descent warned that blacks in the US were facing a "human rights crisis."

This has largely been fuelled by impunity for police officers who have killed a series of black men -- many of them unarmed -- across the country in recent months, the working group's report said.

Those killings "and the trauma they create are reminiscent of the past racial terror of lynchings," said the report, which was presented to the United Nations Human Rights Council on Monday.

Addressing the deeper causes of America's racial tensions, the experts voiced concern over the unresolved "legacy of colonial history, enslavement, racial subordination and segregation, racial terrorism and racial inequality."

"There has been no real commitment to reparations and to truth and reconciliation for people of African descent," the report said.

Working group chairman Ricardo A. Sunga told reporters that the panel believed several models of reparations could work in the US context, including "elements of apology" and a form of "debt relief" to the descendants of enslaved people.

Asked about the campaign and accusations that Republican nominee Donald Trump has made racially inflammatory remarks, Sunga voiced alarm over "hate speech...xenophobia (and) Afrophobia."

"We are very troubled that these are on the rise," he added, without naming Trump specifically but calling on officials and "even candidates" to watch their words.

Trump and his camp have denied all racism charges.

In the campaign's first debate on Monday, Democratic challenger Hillary Clinton accused Trump of launching his campaign on the "racist lie" that President Barack Obama was not born in the United States.

The UN working group visited the several US states in January before producing their final report.

Stand out by the mailbox and hold your breath, I'm sure the check is on it's way.

I remember Gaddafi asked 700 trillion dollars reparation for Africa from colonial powers in UN.

[pimpmaster9000]

fact: 100s of years of slavery will impact your social status especially if after the slavery you need the military to escort you to school...this is why you need to use "whitey handwash" it washes them whitey hands of all responsibility ever LOL

[Just Alex]

How about one way ticket to Liberia?

...and the Brits to all population of the Carribean and lets do not forget the Italians to most of population of Nothern Europe....

These do not count. It must be evil whitey vs non white (that eliminates Irish and other examples of yours).

On a serious note - the fact that they are enjoying life in US and not in the jungle are reparations more than enough. Add free money and stamps to many of them as well.

[crockett]

How much do all the black Africans owe for their part in capturing and selling slaves?

No slaves would of even come to the US or elsewhere without black African tribes doing the capturing and then selling them to the slave traders..

Obviously nothing, non white.

I am a supporter of reparations, any person who can step up and prove that they were a slave before 1865 should get paid.

The descendants of slaves do not qualify since they were never slaves themselves.

I disagree with 99% of your takes, so this is the 1%... couldn't agree more.

I will add that reparations must be paid by slave owners

[Barry-xlovecam]

Decedents are ineligible. Persons who were directly affected might be eligible.

The German government does not pay reparations to the decedents of survivors of Hitler's death camps. That is one example. The UN is usually full of ideas of poor nations of how wealth should be transfered to them -- this falls into that same category. We vs. THEM

Ergo, your cheque is not in the mail

I'm just over and done with all the crying from black people over racism. Yes with out a doubt there was racism in the 60s which prevented the average black person from moving ahead.

Since then blacks as a group bring racism on themselves by their aditudes that white people owe them and their unwillingness to do better for themselves.

There isn't a black person alive today that was a slave and there isn't a white person alive today who owned slaves.

The entire black lives matter nonsense removed any sort of compassion I had for blacks and racism. The entire movement is nothing but a bunch of racist rioting.

The fact that the only time they protest is when it's white cops shows its just a racist agenda. Not once will they ever walk the streets in protest in Chicago or any other city where blacks kill everyone else.

No other race of people in this country acts like this. Even hispanics who come here illegally actually provide something and work their asses off. Arabics, Asians even blacks from other countries like Africa or the Islands come here to better themselves and work hard doing it. Meanwhile get tho blacks from the US just hold their hand out.

I've met a lot of people from other countries and no group is as lazy as blacks from the US. I've worked with many black people from other countries and almost none of them are lazy like the bulk of American blacks.

Of course not all black people are like this, but I'd say at the very least 60% of black males from 18 to 25 do nothing at all to better themselves and then end up in the prison system and yell racism..

If anyone is unhappy, they are welcome to leave at any time. Clearly they would be much better off back in Africa.

no slaves and none of the slaveowners are alive today but their descendants are feeling the benefits or disadvantages of their ancestors...100s of years of exploitation took its toll on the inequality that is today's reality...whitey handwash does not like to admit this...

bullshit argument: blacks sold blacks in to slavery...bitch LOL...I bet the slave does not mind the one minute he was sold in, but the lifetime of work for the white boy what kind of desperate argument is "black sold black whitey hands clean?"....so let me get this str8 if a mexican sold me another mexican I am completely not to blame for exploiting him and the money I make from it is legit?

ooooh the desperation...look you are a great nation today because you stole land with other peoples resources , then you committed treason, then you enslaved everybody left and right and then you printed money and enforced it by military...

Does your shit hole country have knives? If so, grab one asap and kill yourself. I'm guessing you don't have knives, so grab a jagged rock created from the many bombs dumped on your dump of a nation, and go to work with it.

According to the 1860 census, a very small percentage of American families owned slaves (including some freed blacks). Why should the rest of us have to make reparations?

I am sure that 13% of the population in slavery had no beneficial effect on the US economy...considering that 1/3 of the population participate in the work force it is safe to say that 1/3 of your work force were slaves...I am SURE nobody else but the slaveowners felt the benefit of 1/3 of the work force working for free

[baddog]

How much does an ocean cruise from Africa to the US cost? With interest added, they got their reparations.

Slaves took away jobs from working people, this is one of the reasons the south never had the industrial boom the north had.

Slavery was active for 245 years in the US. It's not happened in over 150 years.. Not to mention the vast majority of black people today have zero connection to slavery of the past..

Should everyone get money just because they are black even if they just came here a generation or 2 ago? Why are all these people who's family was never even slaves also effected by slavery?

Also Indians got money and land.. Yet they still live as some of the poorest of the poor because their own tribes take advantage of them. All these reservations around the country where they can live with out paying taxes, casinos and oil fracking on many of them but their people are still poor as dirt because the big chiefs take the money for themselves..

Same would happen to blacks, they would spend the money on big wheels for their 1985 Buick Regal and be out of money in a week then curse the white man who came to repo the car...

the social position of blacks today is largely thanks to the white man...250 years of free work and dehumanization has its consequences...its easy to exploit somebody for centuries and then call them primitive savages...this is what they were born in to...slavery and colonialism...

the white man called all the shots...he will pay in one way or another...be in long term through welfare and crime or short term through radical measures...

are whites today guilty? no...but they reap the rewards of centuries of colonialism and slavery that their ancestors practiced...and the blacks today feel the effects of this because most of their ancestors were slaves or needed military escort to school not so long ago in the USA...

you paid the injun's some money and gave them shit land in compensation for stealing like 99% of their territory...ill put millions of white people in the dessert and give them money they will finish like mad max too...

the white mans hands can not be washed...

This is not True.. after WW2 Jews which are white for the most part were put in the desert and given money. They became one of the dominate forces in the area.

Liberia was also a country pretty much created from nothing for ex-black slaves. It was given a chance to succeed and create a democracy but instead it's always been riddled with corruption and no different than any other African nation.

Also the ironic thing, when given their own country they turned around and mistreated the natives and excluded them from govt because the ex slaves felt they were superior to the bush natives...

are you talking about the jews or liberians here? I honestly can not tell the difference...

israel is an apartheid state, they are the prequel to mad max...they are the dominant "force" in the region because the USA gives them military aid against former, exploited to fuck, french and british colonies...

releasing liberian slaves and claiming: "look savages" does not wash your white hands at all...the white man is unable to accept the obvious consequences of 100-s of years of oppression and exploitation...

you are guilty of climbing your colonial ivory tower and pointing your finger

treat people like sub humans for 100-s of years and guess what you get?
