UN Decrees United States Owes Blacks Reparations for Slavery

The human rights abusers of the United Nations are demanding that the United States of America give African Americans reparations for slavery. The group’s statement came via a report earlier this week.

The group report was referencing a larger study by the United Nations working group of experts on people of African descent. This group is responsible for reporting to the international organization’s High Commissioner on Human Rights.

This group of experts is made up of the top human rights lawyers in the world. The group presented its findings about the link they feel is present between the United States’ history of slavery and falsely alleged injustices that are occurring now. The most recent police shootings of African Americans was primarily the premise for their findings.

“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 stated. “Contemporary police killings and the trauma that they create are reminiscent of the past racial terror of lynching.”

The panel stated that the police shootings of African Americans over the past year have caused a “human rights crisis” that urgently needs to be addressed. They see a direct correlation to these present day shootings and the acts of lynchings that occurred by white supremacists in the late 1800’s.

The group said the reparations could be delivered in a variety of forms, such as “a formal apology, health initiatives, educational opportunities, psychological rehabilitation, technology transfer and financial support, and debt cancellation.”

Ricardo A. Sunga, one of the panel members who was asked about the presidential race in the United States and how that may be promoting further white supremacy actions, talked about “hate speech … xenophobia and Afrophobia” prevalent in the race, but did not call out any candidates by name.

The reparations have little backing on any change that would be forced upon the United States. The group’s recommendations are non-binding and unlikely to influence policy in the United States.
