"No Atonement, No Repair": Nikole Hannah-Jones Calls for Slavery Reparations in Speech to U.N. 

The worse stuff about bad guys is they think they're actually the good FOLKS

Sadly the people who needs to be there, no where to be found.

I'm so happy she mentioned HAITI 🇭🇹. The Haitian people are still paying for the world liberty of slavery. We are glad to do it. One day things will change for these people even if most of the of the leaders now are house slave.

Along with reparations, we could also request to be paid for the insurance collected on our ancestors after they were deliberately and intentionally killed (for insurance money). We could request for interest and penalties on our overdue reparations- just like the interest and penalties that THEY put on overdue money- like the interest THEY put on a home loan, on a home that you have paid 4 to 5 times over before you finally “pay it off”.

We need to get back to total separation from , people who have shown us how they really feel. Stop allowing enemies to educate our children.

The devil will never do what’s right

Corporate Media never FELT a amount of Pain they deserve for what they've done into our society

The Nation's had 400 years to repent & repair. God only gave those in Noah's day 120. Judgement time now.

I never thought of slavery as an Apartheid. Professor Hannah-Jones writings hits every aspect of slavery. I will be reading her book.

There can be no atonement without repair.

America is not the only country to amass huge wealth through the slave trade, as many nations in Europe including Spain, Portugal and England greatly benefited financially from the slave trade and also owe reparations to slavery's surviving descendants as well.

Have a look at Haiti . Still paying for the ransom for their "liberation". From physical bondage to financial bondage.

I salute NiKole we need more affluent FBA to come forth and state their positions on reparations because the time is now.. We don't want a bunch of symbolic nothing's, we want cash payments from the United States, and the UK, for their inhumanity against FBA ancestors who were in bondage💰💲💸

Honor the ancestors by speaking the truth. They lost their entire life. 24 hours a day under a barbaric and inhuman system. So called, freedom and experienced more of the same, allowed by the government. Reparations will be paid, to their descendants.

The "Real History " must be told!!

Very good, Ms Jones. God bless you and keep you.

Well spoken! She did a Malcolm X at the UN in NYC, yo! Dr. Nikole Hannah- Jones killed it, Paul! For real!

They hate us but won't leave us alone.

Not interested in other cultures and countries that rebelled against slavery. Reparations are for and about the Foundational Black Americans, the descendants of slaves in America. No other group that has received reparations had to include other groups that did not suffer from discriminatory policies and genocide. We WILL NOT allow others to benefit from our suffering. B1.

This was one of those wonderful surprises when I watch Democracy Now. This evening in my opinion they broadcast a truly historical moment. The author, Nicole Hannah Jones, of The 1819 Project, was featured as she gave a speech to The United Nations. It was momentous occasion for Ms. Jones to say out loud what many of my generation have learned yet too many others don't know--how the slave trade came to North America. More so, she presented strong evidence as to why there should be reparations for the descendants of African slaves. I have now bought her book to read in greater detail why it frightens so many Caucasians in this country so much to hear the truth that is within these pages. This publication of this book was the catalyst for the fear and total misunderstanding of Critical Race Theory. She was eloquent and evocative. I only wish that she had taken her gloves all the way off as she stood on this global stage to speak in greater detail of the evil violence that permeated the slave states. (I have recently learned that even NY is amongst one of the states that wished to succeed.) This was a moment in history on this grand stage to tell the world about pregnant slave women being hung and their fetus ripped out of them or how chopped heads of slaves who attempted to escape were put on poles and lined city streets to put fear into other slaves. She spoke of the slave ships but did not verbalize how slaves were packed in the bottom cabins of ships, chained, sleeping amongst the excrements of one another. There were horrid deeds that justify the need for reparations. There is more and worse in this awful period of history. This truth is trying to be burned and forbidden in many schools. Yes, it was inhumane. However, if this nation does not learn and face this history and atone for this brutality, this barbarism, it will simmer and possibly come to a boil that will... I believe in the power that is within Education. Let us all learn that every human being is worthy of respect.

This needs to be read in schools, churches, and published in newspapers and magazines. She hit every note.

Whoa! and Wow! Nicole Hannah-Jones, I love you. Such a spirited, true and electrifying speech you gave. May the MOST HIGH, grant you favor, protection, bless and grace you peace forever. You are definitely a Ida B. Wells re-incarnated. I love both of you black and powerful women.

GOD help us all. Thank you Nikole Hannah-Jones. You have given me a good start toward mental freedom of self and my ancestors. My father was born in Greenwood Mississippi in 1924. I want to find out about the Shelley's from Mississippi . Thank you and may GOD continue to bless your work and the work of others... I feel bad for America....

I'm Choctaw Native American, a few thousand Natives of the Five Tribes used to own slaves, most of the Tribes and Nations of these Tribes made slavery legal. But our Tribal Nations made emends through cash and land reparations via 1866 treaty - lands such as Black Wall Street sat on is allotted tribal land reserved for Freedmen, but the community was destroyed by white mobs and the state of Oklahoma. You owe the Freedmen of Oklahoma for all the land stolen, property damage and Freedmen you displaced, as well as the Blacks who migrated to Freedmen lands to live the American dream. Other Five Tribe members and many other Tribes and Natives were allies of escaped slaves - they provided alliances, acceptance and citizenship. Native America became a refuge for runaway Black Slaves. The Five Tribes and other Natives made amends, why can't the USA? It's time to make amends United States to decadents of slaves, jim crow, land theft, redlining etc.. The USDA and other Departments stole 20 million acres from Black Farmers, you need to give their descendants and farmers land buy back programs.

Amen she is 💯 percent right 🙏🏾👏🏾

We were either over charged and or underpaid due to our race. Don’t miss or forget about automobile health care, pharmaceutical industry, industries, banks, corporations, schools, colleges, universities, landlords, law enforcement, attorneys/lawyers, business owners, states and federal government in the USA plus all the other nations who sold and benefited.

What a timely and meaningful speech. There is so much to learn there for all people. We have to take a close look at the past and take these lessons to heart in order to live our optimum life going forward.

Has a Jamaican this speech Brought tears to my eyes.

There IS no other way to atone- except to repair FIRST!. Bravo, dear Sister Nicole Hannah Jones!

Which such elegance she stood before the UN and told our story. And she didn't compromise while doing it. She wore big earrings and a gold necklace. And for that I love her.

Thank you Nikole Hannah Jones 💟

Haiti Still paying for It Rest in Power

Powerful Black Woman! Yes, it is time to pay back. Every sin deserves a correction.

Thank you Amy Goodman for your continued service….. thank you Nikole Hannah Jones for your continued service I appreciate you 😀

Thank you sister Nicole Hannah-Jones‼️‼️‼️‼️

Thank You; GOD Will Deliver Us! Reparations Now, Right Now!

Well said Nikole! 🤌🏽🙏🏽💪🏽❤

They will never pay reparations. They know we'd all leave. They also know that either way they are going to face God's judgement. They know who we are. They've always known.

She is right on point 👏🏾

Nikole Hannah-Jones is phenomenal. I have watched almost every video featuring her on the internet. We know she speaks the truth because the haters want to drown out her voice.

Wow. We agree with our sister. This is the best path forward.

SPEAK 🗣 LADY!!! ✊🏽🛡✊🏽🛡✊🏽🛡What a mighty warrior-ess! 🙌🏽💥🙌🏽

How did Juneteenth become about global trans-Atlantic slavery holiday. Once again the ADOS struggle and oppression and its affects to overcome are hi jacked.

Great speech, many truths that are not told in the mainstream media.

Prove you own it. Prove who has it. Take it. That's what The Probate Court is for.

Nikole thank you.

Reparations with Relocation now.

"And I saw the dead, small and great, standing before God, and books were opened. And another book was opened, which is the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to their works, by the things which were written in the books. The sea gave up the dead who were in it, and Death and Hades delivered up the dead who were in them. And they were judged, each one according to his works. Then Death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And anyone not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire." (REVELATION 20:12-15 NKJV) Today, while you are still alive and able, may you repent from your sins, believe in your heart and confess with your mouth that JESUS CHRIST is your Lord and Savior, so that through Him, your name will be written in the Book of Life. "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved." (JOHN 3:16-17 NKJV) JESUS LOVES YOU. HE DIED FOR YOU. Please don't ever forget that... ✝️

Our actions speaks louder than words

Nicole Hannah Jones' way of reading history, is as enlightening as doing astronomy with a microscope. think ya'll meant to get Thomas Sowell, he has the advantage of not being a racist.

Don't forget reparations for the prison slavery still going on

It’s so frustrating that Reconstruction was such a failure

Wonderful, Ms. Nicole!!

Chills, chills, chills ... I will listen again and again and I will have my children listen again and again... I will never acquiesce my humanity or theirs to anyone

TMH will give his chosen people our Reperation he will not let any man out shine him in the gifts that he has in store for his chosen people IsRael. Justice ⚖️⚖️⚖️ for IsRael and vengeance ⚔️⚔️⚔️⚔️ against all psalms 83 Confederate against us no more freedom for Edom no peace for the wicked by TMH God. MH give them the double recompense like you told your chosen children. APTTMHY

Keep reminding my sis we must know where we come from to know where we are going 🇬🇾

Thank you, Nikole, Amy and DN!.

REVELATION 13:10 He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.

Thank U Precious Queen an Sistah for speaking our TRUTH !!! Much Love An Peace Always!!!

“There can be no atonement without repair.” Malcolm X was going to make a similar speech shorty before his assassination… Why is radical to ask for compensation for damages while as descendants of slaves WE pay taxes to the gov?! 🤷🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️

Until 'you' do right by us, 'you' will have no peace.

Brilliant Sister Jones! Absolutely brilliant! Keep speaking truth to power!

someone is speaking for all African people who scatter around the world 🌎 Jamaica 🇯🇲.

It's like asking a thief to return your stolen property.

Magnificent speech by Nikole Hannah-Jones. Love it! ♥️

Cut the check!!!

Daniel 9:12 [12]And he hath confirmed his words, which he spake against us, and against our judges that judged us, by bringing upon us a great evil: for under the whole heaven hath not been done as hath been done upon Jerusalem.

Oceans of blessings

It's ok to have that "We are the world" mindset, but it's time for Foundational Black Americans to rise up and DEMAND reparations for Foundational Black Americans!!!!!

Such a powerful speech. Slay Queen 👑👑✊🏽 solidarity until victory is won!!

Thank You Democracy Now for having Hannah! Powerful speech and Hannah you did an awesome address to the United Nations… Crime against humanity, slavery is apartheid, how our ancestors resisted to keep from coming, Time to do what’s right!

Class action law suit for crimes against humanity. Take it to the Supreme Court and international courts. 👏🏾✊🏾👏🏾

They are obligated to repair it. Bravo !!!!!!!

Thank You Mrs Jones!!!!

Very clear and unapologetic. Give us what is ours, artifacts and all!

Why I don't never hear people from Africa talking about this, and like this great black woman from America.

Wow! This highly educated woman who has researched so very many situations gives a wonderful speech! Also her hair is lovely! Freedom hair! Thank-you Nichole Hannah-Jones!

I am a 55 year old white woman who has recently become obsessed with our history and the slave trade. I am so amazed by the insight and truth Nichole Hannah has brought to lite. I can’t believe we don’t share this with our who le society and the resulting life that people of African descent live today. She deserves the Pulitzer Prize. She’s a genius!!

Bravo Nicole Hannah Jones thank you

I Love ❤️ her and I know The Almighty LOVES ❤️ her more. 💕 YAHMEN.

I am With You Sister ,,, Reparations is Required For all of Our Black Diaspora Brothers an Sisters Here in The America's ,,,!!! Today' an any Future Offsprings of these Subordinate Europeans 🇪🇺 that enslaved us 🇺🇸 Black diasporas here in the America's ,,, must Render us Recompense now ,,, or continue to take there sweet time ⏲️ in Rendering it ,,, an Risk there Recompense going beyond a thousand fold ,,, an they run 🏃‍♂️ the Risk of becoming enslaved themselves too Start payment on The Recompense for thousands of years if they are still around an Neccessary ,,,!!!!!

Im so glad Ms Jones went there,, It takes a lot of guts to tell the listening nation that reparations is not just fair but long over due. Stop waiting for every person who understands the terror of slavery to die out so there will be less people to conder for payment. Shame

Malcolm, and all other freedom fighting ancestors would be proud!

Now that we are finally ok with uttering the “R” word, we need to get practical with: 1) Assessment policies for establishing the value of properties and wealth taken from first nations or which financially benefited from slavery or human trafficking; 2) Frameworks for Reparations Endowment Laws which could, at no impact to current land/wealth holders, gradually - perhaps 25% per generation - restore wealth for specific or general reparations; 3) Practical steps to address urban issues in systemic oppression; 4) Quantifying and registering the onus of countries to their abused populations so that proper tax code could be implemented for reparations &c. I would further support the renaming of Thanksgiving to International Reparations Day, so that we can act on these issues personally and as families just before the binge of selfishness that we now call Christmas.

Yes!!! Nichole!!! Reparations Now!!!!

Thank you Sister💖

RESIST!✊🏿👊🏿 On all fronts!

No justice, no peace.

Eloquently spoken....thank you!

Great job 👏

Nikole Hannah-Jones is brilliant!

The past is never dead. It isn't even past.

I don't think they have the intestinal fortitude nor the integrity to do what is right. I expect wrath from the Most High.

A list of shame naming these countries should be made and read out every year to the world and reminded of their atrocities until they pay reparations to those whom they so callously and inhumanely explored.

Nearly ALL the Human and Democratic Rights we have today began during British Age of Enlightenment , John Locke and the 1689 English Bill of Rights . This continued to evolve over 300 years . Its actually one of the greatest achievements in humanity . This influenced the US Constitution , Constitutions of Commonwealth Countries , Japan's 1947 Constitution is based on Britain's Westminster system , and the UN's 1948 Declaration of Human Rights . Think it would be a good idea if Amy Goodman actually learned about the history of Human and Democratic Rights . .

This is what we needed someone to go to the powers and speak truth. Now they need to be addressed for them knowingly taken Yahs chosen people. The Israelites. It’s coming soon. All praises to the Most High YAHUAH

POWERFUL!!!!!!!!!!

Amen, Sister... The greatest crime against humanity was slavery. Most white people don't want to talk about it because they are so ashamed of "their history" , while others are proud of their hatred towards God's people. The LORD said, I will avenge My people so when God is ready to execute His judgement on all the nations that enslaved His people, there will be victory. My people, continue to trust in the Most High, He has plans and redemption for you once the fullness of the Gentiles has been fulfilled. There is an awakening amongst our people so I hope you have ears to hear. Shalom!

Amen my Sister 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

As long as we live with them,we’re going to have problems. WE HAVE TO SEPARATE FROM THEM NOW.
