A United Nations panel of human rights activists asked the United States government to give reparations to the African-American community, who were the descendants of black slaves in America.

The reparations would be intended to repair some of the damage done to the African-American community, through various forms of oppression, which includes :

1. Slavery.
2. Black codes.
3. Jim crow.
4. Sundown Towns.
5. Lynchings .
6. Domestic white terrorism (KKK).
7. Mass incarceration and police brutality , which disproportionately affect the African-American community, at a much higher rate than the rest of the population.
8. The 13th amendment. (Which permitted prison inmates to be used as slave labor.
9. Miseducation by a broken school system.

Mireille Fanon Mendes-France, the chairwoman of the UN Working Group of Experts on People of African Descent committee, compared the police killings of unarmed black men today in the United States to racist lynchings that occurred in the South, during the height of segregation.

Mendes-France did not believe that individual checks should be given to the descendants of American slavery, but rather she recommended money be spent for the “full implementation of special programs based on education, socioeconomic, and environmental rights.”

There is a precedence for the United States giving reparations to American citizens, the first case is when the United States government gave reparations to Japanese Americans, for their harsh treatment during World War 2 and in 2015 the Obama administration earmarked $12 million dollars in reparations to be given to holocaust survivors.

  2. philstanfield – You might ask ‘What does materialism have to do with mysticism?’, ‘Why would someone who holds that objective reality is primary to consciousness have on his blog writing that subscribes to the opposite?’ My answer is that not only is materialism indebted to mysticism – as Marx implicitly acknowledged when he correctly described Hegel’s philosophy as mystical – mysticism and its influence pervades Western culture. The contribution of mysticism in all areas has been profound – to literature, the visual arts, religion, particularly to and through philosophy with its concealed priesthood (which priesthood was identified by the overt priest Nietzsche), and to science. It inspired Copernicus to the greatest scientific hypothesis, and Kepler. We, in the West, on the back of all that has been achieved, believe a monumental lie, a monumental arrogance, a monumental delusion – that while others worship idols, stare at their navels, are committed to 'failed ideologies' or are obsessed with filial piety, WE have risen above this to become the triumphal bearers of millennial ‘reason’. We wear this self-awarded badge of ‘reason’ as a cultural definition. It is the belief we have relied on to most distinguish the West from the rest. The impact of mysticism argues against this. Linguistic reason, a core tool of all authoritarians, is not the only form of reason. At the heart of mysticism is another – far more fluid and creative. Linguistic reason draws on this as its proponents seek to contain and deny it. The artist and theologian Plato is a prime example. I refer you to the poetic power of the Ion. Linguistic reason, while reason’s jewel, is but its tip. When we wake in the middle of the night with the solution to a long-standing problem, had we been dotting every ‘i’ and crossing every ‘t’, or might trotting chairs and fluttering wings have borne fruit in creative 'space'? Of when you round a corner and bump into a stranger – no time for considered words and structured sentences there – think of the richness, at multiple levels, of what has taken place in your brain in a moment's silence. …the power of 'first impressions'… This thinking is the ever-present underlay of what is done linguistically. Intuitive thought draws most deeply on our connectedness – to all that comprises us, including our memory, and to the world. That this has been given metaphysical meaning does not detract from the point. In considering what comprises 'reason', the materialist must begin with how the brain functions in its totality, recognising that those functions are inseparable and bear on each other, dialectically, and not focus only on the brain's capacity for its highest product – linguistic expression. As a materialist, I will use this blog to not only argue for and develop my perspective but also to explore mysticism and its effects (particularly on creativity) in relation to it. I will also, at times, post on other subjects. Hopefully you will like what I do and contribute.

    The situation is exactly the same in Australia towards Australia’s indigenous people. Their genocide continues (they were hunted, poisoned, shot and enslaved by the white invaders), but now in a far more calculated way – via parliament and the bureaucracy. The whites are only thinking of the best interests of Australia’s indigenous…

      It seems like it’s the same old story all around the world, that being said I still have faith in humanity that we can evolve into a better people, be more Christ like and less first testament haha! I never thought there would be a black man in the White House, that was the leader of the free world. Yet a lot of the racist Trump supporters and the growing racism in America proves that racism is a infection you always have to keep an eye on and when it comes back like herpes, you can’t be afraid to give it some truth medicine .

        I think that at the bottom of racism is the fear of and hostility towards difference. Think of the fat kid at school and the bullying he got, whatever his skin colour. My view is that with the deepening economic crisis (the GFC never went away but all the money to feed it has now gone) the capitalist class are ramping up the exploitation of that fear of difference (divide and rule). Some of the Republicans make out that they are horrified by Trump and are doing their best to stop him but he, just as much as the emergence of ‘socialist’ Sanders, is the face of that crisis. Very powerful interests are behind Trump just as some of the biggest industrialists and Henry Ford funded Hitler. I’m white and middle class but I hold different views to the great majority of Australians and I also am experiencing a growing intolerance here of me as a person as well. Best wishes

    If the U.N wants to pay reparations then let them. I am sure that they expect this to be paid by the U.S.
    This is just another example of the global government seeking to divide and conquer.

    Were the Holocaust victims paid $12 million in cash or programs? Many descendants of African slaves still suffer financially as a direct result of racism…I don’t think special programs are going to change that, but the monetary award may relief some debt for many and offer just a little bit of a brighter future! Why is it when it comes to awarding African Americans money, every excuse in the world can be given. Is this not another form of racism? We all know that $$$ is POWER! “Let’s repay them for the damage we’ve caused, but not to the tune of emPowering them!”
