UN: US owes reparations

[church mouse guy]

"...a study by a UN-affiliated group now concludes that the history of slavery in the United States justifies reparations for African Americans.

"The Washington Post reports that the Geneva-based United Nations' Working Group of Experts on People of African Descent presented its findings to the United Nations Human Rights Council on Monday. The UNWGEPAD (yes, it actually goes by that acronym), which includes leading human rights lawyers from around the world, reports to the international organization's High Commissioner on Human Rights.

Any word on when their report on how much the Islamic world owes for it's enslavement practices of Europeans and Africans for 1400 years is coming out?

The UN can go stick it up their nose. How many other countries that formerly owned slaves have the called for reparations? This of course should include African nations as they caught people from their own continent and sold them into slavery.

Just saying...

I don't know about the Irish cause, but I think that the UN in New York will vote that the USA should pay reparations.

Why would the UN come out with a report like this now when there is such division among blacks and whites and riots in the streets?

Is it trying to put out the fire by throwing more fuel on it?
