A UN panel of experts has issued a vividly horrific account of the plight black people have suffered in the United States, urging American authorities to establish a body that would be responsible for making reparations to the descendants of Africans who were brought to the US and sold into slavery.
Vice News reports:
Speaking at a press conference in Washington, DC, three members of the UN Working Group of Experts on People of African Descent said that Congress should pass the Commission to Study Reparation Proposals for African-Americans Act, a bill that Michigan Representative John Conyers last introduced in 2015.
Mireille Fanon Mendes-France, the working group chair and a French human rights expert, told VICE News that the US hadn?t properly addressed the legacy of enslavement or adequately provided necessary redress for those who are descended from Africans forcibly resettled in bondage.
?It?s been absolutely insufficient,? she remarked. ?They are excluded, they are invisible. There is structural racism and structural discrimination, and they face that because of the pigmentation of their skin.?
Mendes-France, the daughter of the Martinique-born writer and leading black intellectual Franz Fanon, clarified that she is not in favor individual payments, as the idea of reparations is often presented in America. She applauded efforts in the Caribbean to sue the British government for centuries of slavery, and recommended that reparations in the US be funneled through the financing and ?full implementation of special programs based on education, socioeconomic, and environmental rights.?
Mendes-France and fellow working group members Sabelo Gumedze of South Africa and Ricardo A. Sunga III of the Philippines spoke in the US capitol after an 11-day tour of the country, with additional stops in Baltimore, Chicago, New York, and Jackson, Mississippi. The panel, staffed with different experts, last visited the US in 2010.
Though the group will not release a full report of its findings until a Human Rights Council meeting in Geneva in September, each member read from a lengthy preliminary statement that touched on mass incarceration, police brutality, lack of housing, and the US government?s failure to ratify a number of international human rights treaties.

America will never truly do something like this because they NEVER want the playing field to be even.
All the most logical solutions besides handing out useless cash like Giving us the business funding. Or giving us land. Or giving us stock in the HUGE WW corporations that were built from our ki folks BLOOD. Out of the question.
They'll do something stupid like discount on Escalades (vehicle vouchers) and KFC coupons (some other useless easily recoup-able giveaway)
Basically like ever year around tax time magnified by 10
And niggers will be broke by Fall
:hmph:
Yes bitch

That's how the Natives do it for girls tryna SLITHER into their mess. Cuz I guarantee every opportunistic cracker known to man will suddenly scream Black Pride

I see no issue in allocating the money into a number of things that we have no control of or things that have been a ripple effect on the community since slavery.
But it's never gonna happen cause they don't give a shit about niggers. :plea:

They said this 5 months ago
And the money should go to countries in Africa and the Carribean that were colonised then abandoned and left in poverty.
dddfdfdfd America sweeps EVERYTHING under the rug though. they'd never admit fault in something like this, even though we all clearly know how dirty this
country and their government is
America likes to pretend that it's perfect and above everything and everyone
Guys r we rich
I'm crying
Give us out fckn money

You say that as if there are no impoverished Black communities right here in the states that have been pretty much abandoned by the government.
I say that because much of the debt in Africa and the Caribbean stems from slavery, colonialism and oppression, and also from the U.S and European governments taking advantage of their weakened states.
IMO it makes more sense to compensate the countries they raped and stole from to begin with. After slavery the population dwindled so much it affected the workforce and output, this the main reason why Africa is in this state today, hundreds of years of mismanagement, corruption ect
They have acknowledged slavery and its effects of it in the West, but no one has acknowledged the detreminteal after effects it's left an entire continent and their people in.
Africans and Caribbeans don't have the same opportunities Black Americans have to lift themselves out from poverty, to me it makes more sense to build those countries they stifled in the first place so that they wont depend on aid and handouts from the West
Just my IMO
I know Azealia is jumping for JOY
