End the evil white enforced diaspora. No reparations without repatriation.

#11 According to the folks up North those reparations were paid in blood by the soldiers in the Civil War 150 years ago...

#12 Who's paying reparations to the widows of over 250,000* white Northerns who died to put the 13th Amendment in the Constitution. Reparations in blood was already paid.

*That was in a population of 30 million. Today we're over 300 million. Simple extrapolation shows that would be 2.5 million casualties in today's numbers. Anyone in their rational mind can think of going to war at that cost today? Although we probably will do so in the next civil war.

#14 re: reparations - I assume the UN will also tax the blacks who raided other tribes for slaves as well the arab traders they sold the slaves to.

#16 The Andalusian Caliphate were prolific, brutal slavers.

Then we have the well documented slave bazaar of Tripoli.

The Mexicans and Navajo can sue each other.

Britain can sue Ireland and Norway.

Hell, is there a people today who have not at one point slaved and been enslaved?

#17 No reparations without repatriation.

Forty acres and a mule... in Zimbabwe.

In the 60s & 70s, there was a big Back To Africa movement. Don't hear much about that nowadays.

#18 I don't hate the Somali's so much to relocate the UN there. Other 'countries' in Africa, perhaps.

#20 FYVM UN; otherwise what DarthVader said in #1. The UN has no moral high ground in anything. A bunch of jackasses in an organization who the U.S. supports to the tune of about 70% or more wants to do what? The UN (made up of people who are hostile to the U.S. and hate us) is trying to enslave us by demanding reparations to be paid to black Americans? Molon Labe ya all and good luck in the endeavor.

#23 SteveS: I was in Africa at the time. The Africans didn't want them.

Americans are rich, so their money was welcome, but the American blacks were not related to any local tribes. There was a lot of disillusion; American blacks were used to thinking in black and white terms (so to speak), and didn't realize that those categories weren't universal.
