United Nations reports that U.S. needs to pay reparations?

Good day all. Last week a report came out from a United Nations panel that the United States needed to pay black Americans “Reparations” for slavery.

This report, by a bunch of useless, overpaid, over-educated ivory tower jerks completely ignored pretty much everything that the United States has done to fix things, and has gone for the typical elitist view of “We must destroy America!” Here are the details from the Washington Post:

The history of slavery in the United States justifies reparations for African Americans, argues a recent report by a U.N.-affiliated group based in Geneva.

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.”

If you read this report, you might notice a few things. They don’t mention any other countries, such as Spain. If you’ve bothered to study history, you will see the Spanish were really big on slavery. They enslaved pretty much all of south and central America and used the people to mine gold, silver and gem stones. In fact, they don’t seem to have mentioned how slavery is still occurring in the world, almost exclusively in the Islamic world.

Citing the past year’s spate of police officers killing unarmed African American men, the panel warned against “impunity for state violence,” which has created, in its words, a “human rights crisis” that “must be addressed as a matter of urgency.”

I believe that there were two shootings that fit this “fact” and both police officers are now either on trial or being investigated. All those others? I gather they’re referring to the Ferguson incident with Michael Brown. I wonder if they bothered to read any of the reports on what actually happened, you know, like Brown attacking the police officer in his car, trying to grab his gun and kill him? No? Thought not.

Perhaps they are also talking about the case in Baltimore where a criminal died in a police van. There have been a half dozen trials and all of them have either ended in acquittal or a hung jury. The evidence didn’t support police misconduct. All it did was show what a complete incompetent the Baltimore State’s Attorney is. She couldn’t wait to try and railroad people into prison and her incompetence wrecked any hope of finding out what actually happened.

The panel drew its recommendations, which are nonbinding and unlikely to influence Washington, after a fact-finding mission in the United States in January. At the time, it hailed the strides taken to make the American criminal justice system more equitable but pointed to the corrosive legacy of the past.

“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.”

White supremacy? What a load of manure. There are almost no real white supremacists in the United States, (No matter what the Southern Poverty Law Center says on their fund raising flyers), and they are generally looked down on, shunned and belittled. When I first saw that statement, my first thought was Is this a bunch from the Southern Poverty Law Center? This sounds like something they would say. However, it wasn’t them. I looked up the UN group and found the kooks who did the “Investigation”.

First we have Ricardo A. Sunga III. He is from the Philippines and doesn’t have a Wikipedia page. However I did find him on LinkedIn. As near as I can tell, he’s never done an honest days work in his life. He’s just your typical elitist moonbat. According to the UN page on this group:

“Mr. Sunga is a human rights lawyer and a law professor. He has taught international human rights law at the University of the Philippines College of Law, and currently serves as a Law Reform Specialist at the University of the Philippines Institute of Human Rights. He has written several academic articles on international human rights law. He is also the Regional Coordinator of the Free Legal Assistance Group, the oldest and largest organization of human rights lawyers in the Philippines.”

Oh, he must love the current president of the Philippines!

Speaking of moonbats, we also have Ms. Mireille Fanon-Mendes from France. She also has nothing on Wikipedia, and I had to do some digging to find anything about her. As near as I can tell, she hates Israel and is all for letting the Palestinians drive the Jews into the sea. She is also another one who has spent many, many years in various universities learning nothing of value. She did win an award though. Here’s what her bio says on the UN page:

Ms. Fanon-Mendes-France has been a Professor at the University Paris V- Descartes in France and a visiting professor at the University of Berkeley in international law and conflict resolution. She has also worked for UNESCO and the French National Assembly.

She is an author of several articles on human rights and humanitarian law, as well as on racism and discrimination.

In 2009, she received the Human Rights Award by the Council for Justice, Equality and Peace

Next we have Mr. Sabelo Gumedze. He is from South Africa. He too isn’t important enough to rate a Wikipedia page. He does have a LinkedIn page, but it’s basically blank. Other than him being from South Africa, and writing a lot of bilge, he appears to be a complete cipher on the world stage. I’m guessing he was included because he is from South Africa and grew up during Apartheid. If that idiot thinks what happened under that system bears any resemblance to the idiocy of segregation we had, he is an even bigger fool than I thought. Here’s what his bio says about him from the UN site:

Mr. Gumedze is the Head and Senior Researcher of the Research and Development Unit of the Private Security Industry Regulatory Authority (PSIRA) of South Africa. He has over 10 years of experience in research with a background in legal scholarship and practice, policy development, International human rights law, human security research, analysis, training, teaching, supervising, project management and implementation. He holds a Doctor of Social Sciences in International Law from Åbo Akademi University (Finland).

Next we have Mr. Michal Balcerzak. I can’t find anything on this guy at all, other then he is on that committee. According to the web site:

Mr. Balcerzak is a professor of international human rights law at the Nicolaus Copernicus University in Poland. His research areas include international human rights law, protection of national minorities, international judiciary and litigation and diplomatic protocol. He is currently alternate Member of the Management Board of the European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights. He has also served in various committees of the Council of Europe as an expert on thematic human rights issues.

Wonderful, another Brussels Euroweenie Bureaucrat.

Finally we have Mr. Ahmed Reid from Jamaica. Again, I can’t find anything about him other than what is on the UN site. (Granted, I’m not looking all that hard either) Here’s what they have to say about him:

Mr. Reid an Assistant Professor of Caribbean History at the City University of New York and received his Ph.D. in Social and Economic History from the University of Hull, England. He has published extensively in peer-reviewed academic journals such as Slavery and Abolition, as well as Oxford Bibliographies in Atlantic History, Oxford University Press. His work covers areas such as the Transatlantic Trade in Africans and its legacies, gender and reparatory justice.

Notice the last two words in his bio. “Reparatory Justice”. In other words, it’s all about the money with him. I suspect he’s been heavily patronizing the Ganjah shops in Colorado. Being stoned out of his mind is the only reason I can come up with for this idiocy.

The demand that we shovel money to the “African American community” doesn’t take into account a few things, such as the trillions of dollars we’ve already shoveled out in Welfare. They also ignore a little matter called the American Civil War. There were many reasons it happened, but one of them was the slavery issue. We dealt with that at a cost of over 600,000 lives.

The issues after the Civil war? That did take another century, with some back sliding due to the pro-Slavery party. (That would be the Democrat Party) However, thanks to great people such as Rosa parks and Dr. Martin Luther King, we managed to fix a lot of those problems as well. The upshot was the election of Barack Obama.

That’s when we started having problems again. Obama might be the first black president of the United States, (Irregardless of what Bill Clinton says), but he is also a hardcore anti-American, and an a bigot. His appointees, primarily in the Department of Justice, have done tremendous damage to so called “race relations” and thanks to them, we might be at the beginning stages of a race war, possibly another civil war.

It’s a good thing your report is nonbinding. Any attempt by the United Nations to force this load of drek on the American people would be met in a decidedly unfriendly manner. Bluntly, you morons would have to flee the United States, and from the safety of your expensive hotel rooms, watch as the American people burn the United Nations building to the ground, probably with all the UN bureaucrats locked inside.

My family has done it’s part. I have a direct ancestor who fought in the American Civil war, on the Union side. I wont’ go into how much of my income over the years has been confiscated by the United States Government and transferred to “Wanda the welfare queen and her 14 brats” over the years. If we needed yet another reason to pull out of the United Nations, here it is. It’s long since outlived it’s usefulness.

Thatisall
