United Nations chief cites George Floyd death in push for global reparations
June 29, 2021 | Terresa Monroe-Hamilton

United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights Michelle Bachelet is calling for global reparations in a newly released report citing the death of George Floyd and referencing the systemic racism worldwide against individuals of African descent.

In summary, the report states: “The murder of George Floyd on 25 May 2020 and the ensuing mass protests worldwide have marked a watershed in the fight against racism. In some countries, there is now broader acknowledgment of the systemic nature of the racism that affects the lives of Africans and people of African descent and of the need to address the past in order to secure future conditions of life that uphold the dignity and rights of all.”

Bachelet specifically referred to the “gratuitous brutality” in the death of George Floyd.

“I am calling on all states to stop denying — and start dismantling — racism; to end impunity and build trust; to listen to the voices of people of African descent, and to confront past legacies and deliver redress,” Bachelet proclaimed in a video statement.

AFAIC, Michelle Bachelet can self-copulate.

That high commissioner sure seems to sit on a high horse, doesn't she?

Well, now, only about 4% of that should come from the US, considering that 96% of the African slave trade went elsewhere. (I hope Brazil is ready to get hit hard.)

Or perhaps this bullshit can be stopped in its tracks.

Since when do you penalize people who did nothing wrong to pay people who have had 160 years to get their shit together since any were slaves?

Effing greedy communists.
