A recent report published by a U.N. commissioned organization concludes that America’s history of slavery justifies reparations for African Americans. The report notably fails to opine on other nations which have engaged in the practice – considering that less than 10% of African slaves were brought to North America, or the fact that arabs have operated the slave trade for over 1300 years – a practice which continues to this day, primarily in India, China, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Arab nations such as Saudi Arabia.
The U.N.’s Working Group of Experts on People of African Descent, a body which reports to the U.N.’s High Commissioner on Human Rights, presented its findings 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.”
The report cites last year’s spate of blacks killed by police officers around the United States, which the panel says has created a “human rights crisis” that “must be addressed as a matter of urgency.”
“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.”

What about the rest of the story?
Conspicuously absent from the U.N. report is the fact that the slavery in the United States was facilitated by 1300 years of Arab slave trade. According to Wikipedia:
Some historians assert that as many as 17 million people were sold into slavery on the coast of the Indian Ocean, the Middle East, and North Africa, and approximately 5 million African slaves were bought by Muslim slave traders and taken from Africa across the Red Sea, Indian Ocean, and Sahara desert between 1500 and 1900.[5]
The captives were sold throughout the Middle East. This trade accelerated as superior ships led to more trade and greater demand for labour on plantations in the region. Eventually, tens of thousands of captives were being taken every year.[4][6][7]
Will this report pave the way for universal basic income for blacks in America?
Ignoring modern slave trade
Meanwhile, the U.N. has been quiet on the topic of countries which haven’t cracked down on the slave trade, including UN Human Rights Council member Saudi Arabia. There are an estimated 21 – 46 million slaves around the world today, with India dominating the top of the list.
Perhaps we can look forward to a followup report from the U.N. on reparations owed by the other 90% of the world which participated in the slave trade, as well as their thoughts on what’s owed to the 48 million modern slaves around the world.

First of all, if blacks want to complain about injustice they should direct their grievances and demand reparations for their being brought here to the jew slavers that brought them here and sold them to white people. Second, the fucking blacks deserve a kick in their heads for being stupid and lazy. Not all, of course, but the majority of them. What did they ever accomplish in Africa, a continent rich in resources, other than shit in a hole three feet away from where they eat? Till this day they do that! Anyway, blacks deserve nothing; let alone reparations:

Too bad Trump is turning out to be a politician after all. Otherwise, he would have cut the UN funding and then this bankrupt globalist shithole could be moved somewhere else, like perhaps Zimbabwe.
A lot of people are already receiving universal basic income via the already bankrupt state (and to an extent, Federal) welfare systems.
So can I demand compensation for the white slavery that took place too? For example the infamous Barbary slave trade of white Christians to Africa and the Middle East. How about white Celtic slaves from Britain that were highly sought after in the Roman Empire. Can white Welsh people demand compensation from Turkey and North Africa? Should the “white” Russians and East Europeans demand compensation from “racist” Mongolia and China for their citizens who were killed and sold into slavery of the Chinese and Mongolian empires?
Slavery has been around since antiquity and present in all “races”. It still exists today.
Indeed demanding compensation from “whites” on historical events IS racist. Slavery is disgusting in every form, but slavery wasn’t done by just white people!
I have to wonder if there is an agenda with money behind this trying to ferment and inflame some kind of a “racial war”. It’s absurd, hypocritical and inflammatory, yet it’s coming from the “United” Nations The UN who is supposed to maintain peace and look out for us all, as the same species, not inflame racial divides! Shame on you UN.
The UN is the perfect example of why you shouldn’t pretend savages are civilized people and give them a seat at the table. It’s completely enthralled by dirty savages that mentally live in the 7th century, rendering it one of the biggest running jokes in the world.
Eagerly awaiting the day we remove kebab for good.
Do I feel sorry for the way slaves, of all races were treated?
Is it a travesty that slavery existed, and still exists in the first place?
Is slavery in all its forms reprehensible and demeaning to all of God’s children?
Affirmative to all the above.
All mankind is endowed with rights given by God Himself and no man, no entity, no government should ever strive to revoke or refuse those rights enumerated in our Constitution.
The framers of said document knew from personal experience and careful study of history that Kings and governments and all religions, when poorly adhered to, failed miserably in granting or protecting those rights.
As Jefferson said, the tree of liberty must be refreshed with the blood of patriots and tyrants from time to time.
If reparations indeed become a serious topic, I fear the time of which he spoke will be at hand.
