Why?  What did I do?  Or my father?  Or my grand father? I mean, other than drag ourselves up from the Irish ghetto, out of the subsistance farmers role and out of the Pennsylvania coal mines.

To demand reparations from white people is prejudicial and racist.

Fuck those two bit tin horn dictators. Let's get the hell out of the UN, and kick their headquarters out of NY while we're at it.

The UN jumped the shark when they sided with the Palestinians decades ago - this is only the latest in a long string of insanity.

Oh, yeah, FUCK the UN, get the fuck out of our country - I don't want to talk to you no more, you empty-headed animal food trough wiper! I fart in your general direction! Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries!

The U.N. is more corrupt than our current Federal Government.

Why don't we riot in protest?  Knock over a few liquor stores and snatch a few wide screen tvs?




uh,

Black cop shoots a white dude, and I'm looting a Cabelas.  And a Miller High Life truck. I like Miller. And maybe a pizza joint. Mmmm.  Pizza and beer.

"Reparations" paid in blood and treasure 1861-1865 (800,000 US citizens dead, hundreds of thousands more wounded, many horribly; national debt alone caused by the war was $42 billion in today's dollars- the interest alone was twice the national budget*).

We won't count the aftershock costs, which are in the trillions...

I'll consider the question of paying reparations to people who've done nothing to deserve them when the UN demands black Americans (since the UN is singling out only blacks) pay reparations for generations of welfare.

Is the UN silent about current civil-rights violations in other countries?

Or is the UN singularly focused on past actions of people long dead?

We were the only country that fought a war to end slavery, and shed blood, and ended lives on both sides.  Yet the race baiters want to continue the victim status for purely personal, monitory gain.

That's what you get when you have third world despots leading something like the UN. Their countries' GDP probably wouldn't cover the catering bills for the UN building, but they get off telling countries like the US what we need to do.

Same with the UN Human Rights Commission. Check out the countries of origin of the people leading THAT group. It will make you vomit.

Actually, it makes me discount the UN as any kind of serious policy organization. 

The only reason I see it as a potential problem is because Obama and potentially Hillary might place our sovereignty in their hands.

When the UN actually does something about Muslim slave trading, Muslim sex slave trading and Muslim child sex slave trading, come back and talk to me. Because the UN is run by representatives of some of the most egregious human rights violators they say nothing about the real problem of slavery because some Muslim might get his under pants in a twist.

That's about the right place for it.  Predict this will go no further.  Is a waste of UN money, time and effort.

Yeah, they should address those things you mentioned.
But that still does not give them any reason to come back to us for reparations for things that happened pre-civil war.  As others have said, my ancestors hadn't come here from Europe yet.  And when they did, Grandfather Santoleri wasn't exactly welcomed with open arms.  And most of the slave traders were from Great Britain, France, Spain and the Dutch Republic.  Go ask them for reparations.  Along with the African war lords that captured and sold the slaves.

When liberals, progressives, communists and the UN (that's repeating myself) want to talk about the TRUTH then let's talk about it. While they're spewing racist stupidity trying to extort money, then fuck them... twice.
