This conclusion was part of a study by the United Nations' Working Group of Experts on People of African Descent, a body that reports to the international organization's High Commissioner on Human Rights. The group of experts, which includes leading human rights lawyers from around the world, presented its findings to the United Nations Human Rights Council on Monday, pointing to the continuing link between present injustices and the dark chapters of American history.

"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."

"Despite substantial changes since the end of the enforcement of Jim Crow and the fight for civil rights, ideology ensuring the domination of one group over another, continues to negatively impact the civil, political, economic, social and cultural rights of African Americans today," it said in a statement. "The dangerous ideology of white supremacy inhibits social cohesion amongst the US population."

Right, they sure have been trying to make incidents out of the ones that suit them, and ignoring the ones that don't
Smells like more Soros Balkanization BS

That ought to be a whopper of a bill.

Put it on the tab along with the purchase price of all of that real estate that is still owed to the original inhabitants of this joint.

On the other hand, you know that the UN officials making these pronouncements all come from corrupt shyteholes led by leaders-for-life with billions hidden in secret bank accounts and vats of acid in their torture chsmbers.

Consider the source ...

The Amerikan government owes reparations to the world, then after they've paid their debt they need to seppuku themselves off the planet.

Indians first. Give us back two continents and associated islands, in original condition, then y'all can pay off all the other folks with whatever's left over.

Not only that but it would be the tip of the iceberg once the First Nations get involved. You just know that sooner or later Gaza will be there along with the refugees from 1947 so the whole affair should be the new TV series that replaces what passes for news and sit coms today.

Here are the UN guidelines for how to treat the new citizens of your great land, Women and Children's Rights. Be sure to read the 'fine' print as the 'fines' can get expensive in a hurry.
That work for you??

Let's put everyone back where they started. Get those damned Angles, Saxons and Jutes and send them back to Germany, where they came from.

Push those Russians back to the Baltic, the Spanish back to Spanishland, The Romans out of Gaul, The Egyptians out of the Sudan!

Send the Africans back to Africa and the rest of us, as well!!!​
