U.N. officials said Tuesday that the United States owes African-Americans reparations and has yet to fully face its history of “racial terrorism.”

The incendiary comments come from the U.N. working group on people of African descent, which visited various American states in January as part of their study.

“There has been no real commitment to reparations and to truth and reconciliation for people of African descent.”

The “U.N. call for reparations is nothing more than political showmanship and demonstrates the real stakes in the upcoming election, where Hillary Clinton’s every inclination will be to pander to the U.N. and the rogue nations that operate many parts of it,” Rick Manning, president of Americans for Limited Government, told LifeZette.

The report recycles tired, demonstrably false myths about systemic racism in America and reads as if it could have been written by a Black Lives Matter activist — indeed, the report mentions recent high-profile police shootings but makes no attempt whatsoever to explain that they police turned out to be vindicated in many of the incidents.

In case after case — Mike Brown, Freddie Gray, Keith Lamont Scott — the innocent victim was proven to be culpable, and the “racist” cops proven to be nothing of the sort.

Yet police shootings “and the trauma they create are reminiscent of the past racial terror of lynchings,” the report claims. That the United Nations would have the world believe someone like Michael Brown getting shot while trying to murder a police officer is the moral equivalent of a lynching is reprehensible and indefensible.

But according to the leftist charlatans at the U.N. masquerading as objective observers, the U.S. has a “legacy of colonial history, enslavement, racial subordination, and segregation, racial terrorism and racial inequality,” which it has still not faced.

“There has been no real commitment to reparations and to truth and reconciliation for people of African descent,” the report claimed in an insidious reference to South Africa and the post-Apartheid Truth and Reconciliation Commission.

“This reparations call is a siren song for Clinton’s attempt to excite the African-American community, and shows that the U.N. is little more than an arm of her campaign for the presidency,” Manning said. The fact that U.N. officials were able to squeeze in a not-so-subtle dig at Donald Trump’s presidential campaign during the release of their report suggests this is indeed the case.

“We are very troubled that hate speech [and] xenophobia are on the rise [in America],” Ricardo A. Sunga, chairman of the working group, told reporters. “Even candidates” must watch their words, he added.

The report is “a striking indictment of the Obama administration and progressive policies in general,” Eddie Zipperer, assistant political science professor at Georgia Military College, told LifeZette. “The working group responsible for the report visited Washington, D.C., Baltimore, Jackson, Chicago, and NYC. What do those places have in common? Lots of liberal policies and lots of politicians who are full of lots of partisan baloney,” said Zipperer. “In a nutshell, this report says inner city African-Americans are living in hell just like Donald Trump has been saying.”

“The report believes more terrible Democratic policies are the solution, when actually terrible Democratic policies are the cause,” Zipperer continued. “If they’d given the members of the working group a copy of ‘Hillary’s America’ by Dinesh D’Souza, the working group would have learned about all the same problems, but they’d also have discovered … the very big role the Democrats have played in creating these problems,” Zipperer added.

This isn’t the first time the United Nations has embraced the America-is-racist narrative. In July, one U.N. official called for a federal takeover of the police as a way to combat racism. “The Civil Rights Division of the Department of Justice has provided oversight and recommendations for improvement of police services in a number of cities with consent decrees,” U.N. Special Rapporteur Maina Kai wrote.

“This is one of the most effective ways to reduce discrimination in law enforcement and it needs to be beefed up and increased to cover as many of the 18,000-plus local law enforcement jurisdictions.” The fact that there is not legitimate evidence of widespread discrimination on the part of law enforcement is apparently irrelevant to Kai.

Kai also took time to remind the world that America’s alleged racism is built into its very founding. “The country was founded on land stolen from its indigenous Native Americans; its early economic strength was built on race-based slavery against people of African descent; and successive waves of immigrants have faced discrimination, harassment, or worse,” Kai wrote.

It’s not just the U.N. either. The Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) is sending a large group of election observers to monitor this year’s election — a group 10 times larger than what was present in 2012 — at the behest of the Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights.

It’s easy to see why the OSCE has an interest in maintaining the image of a deeply racist America. It counts among its members liberty-loving countries such as Belarus, Kazakhstan, and Turkmenistan — some of the world’s most corrupt and repressive regimes.

Countries with a serious history of election fraud or human rights abuses naturally have a desire to undermine the moral authority of the leader of the free world. If America is a racist place that oppresses African-Americans and prevents them from voting, it has neither the right nor the authority pressure countries like Turkmenistan to liberalize.

“America has always been the gold standard for freedom around the world. Some of the world’s worse human rights abusers use the United Nations as a platform to attempt to put a blanket on our nation’s beacon of hope for oppressed peoples,” Manning said.
