  As the USA falls economically, politically and spiritually, the intensely wicked ruling class increasingly bleeds the middle class and crushes the underclass, especially the long-suffering slave descendants who have no Human Rights. Since America has always been a racist oligarchy since its inception, no one believes that the system plans to suddenly become humane just because it now presents a humane looking spokesperson to the world. Although the Obama Administration claims to be striving for peace in diverse war-torn regions, the grim reality is that it cannot even bring peace to Chicago's southside or any other decaying inner city in the …

  As the USA falls economically, politically and spiritually the corrupt ruling class expands its bleeding of the middle class and crushing of the underclass, especially the long-suffering slave descendants who have no Human Rights. For seventeen years Black scholars and activists have diligently worked inside the United Nations to establish the case for Human Rights and Reparations for all 250 million Afrodescendants in the western hemisphere. The U.N. has sufficient evidence to condemn the U.S. government for violating U.N. Covenants by continuing to impose ethnocide and forced assimilation on slave descendants. All U.S. inner cities, not just the New Orleans ghetto, …

  From its inception the U.S. government has always been a racist oligarchy, never a true democracy. Today in 2009 the USA continues to impose ethnocide and forced assimilation on slave descendants in blatant violation of U.N. Covenants. The fact that President Obama, who is not a slave decendant, opposes Reparations for Afrodescendants, is extremely ironic. Although the Caucasian American ruling class promoted and installed Obama in order to deceive most of the world into thinking that it has changed its evil ways, the plain truth is that he has always been first and foremost the servant of the ruling class. While …

  Please be advised that the fifth sentence of my comment should read as follows: "While inner cities throughout the USA are imploding and public schools becoming increasingly dysfunctional and violent, the Obama Administration is burning about $20 million each hour on unjust wars in Iraq and Afghanistan while mapping contingency plans for new imperial conflicts in Latin America."

  As long as President Obama opposes Reparations for slave descendants, like previous wicked U.S. Presidents including Bush and Clinton, he is blocking justice for the victims of the worst holocaust in human history. We the Afrodescendants have suffered more than 100 million casualties during more than 400 years of brutal bondage in the western hemisphere. Our oppressors did not liberate us when they ended chattel slavery in 1865. They continued to impose ethnocide and forced assimilation on us. That is why the late Justice Thurgood Marshall publicly declared late in life that "we as a people are still not free." That …
