When the Committee met in Geneva this week..

See, there's the problem. The Committee should meet - and live - in Camden, NJ for a month or two so they will be in a position to produce a more nuanced report. :)

How ‘bout those commie piggies at the UN “investigate” why the teachers can no longer teach American History in this country for fear of “offending” the scumbags living here illegally. Our kids can’t even wear a T-shirt with an American flag because they might “offend” the freeloading deadbeat criminals who are in this country illegally and living off the backs of the American taxpayers. La Raza (The Race) can KMA!!!

This is not about race, but about culture.

When a culture hates me...I am armed against that culture, regardless of race. And I will kill members of that culture when they attack me in my home...regardless of race.

I have friends from all races...but they do not hate me because of my race.

Those who hate me because of my race are racist.

And I am armed and will defend my home against them.

In a pay laundromat in KC today. Next to me is a sharp black man quietly and precisely folding his laundry with his well-behaved young teen son. Everything is fine.

It’s not the race, it’s the culture and the character of the individual.

The title sounds like a huge joke, I bet the US is the least racist country on Earth.

The only remnants of racism left are from the likes of Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton and the epitome of seething anti-white hatred, barack hussein obama. They're backed by equally racist outfits such as the NAACP and the Black Panthers. Sure, there's an insignificant KKK presence but they're in league with their fellow leftist DemonRATS.

GWB promised us there would be no “Vietnam” in Iraq; Obama supporters said his election would mean no more racial problems. Some speak with a forked tongue, it seems.

Well, all of what you cite has been repeatedly endorsed by the American voters.

Baffin Island certainly doesn’t deserve a plague like the UN.
Haiti is in desperate enough straights that catering the corruption that is the UN would actually be an improvement in their situation.
Zimbabwe, on the other hand, is what the UN members deserve.

See post 27. My point in the island was to get them as far away as possible with the most dire conditions. I agree, let them do to Zimbabwe what they are doing to the US. Maybe an atoll in the Pacific with no restaurants?

I agree with the UN. As soon as we get rid of the Hero of Benghazi and his AG, much of the problem will of away.

In 2012, according to the FBI’s nationwide homicide stats, whites murdered 193 blacks, and blacks murdered 431 whites. The percentage of black offenders with white victims was 14.9%, whereas the percentage of white offenders with black victims was 6.7%. Keep in mind that there are about six times as many whites as blacks, and that the “white” figure includes most Hispanics. So the notion that there is “open season” on black men is absurd.

I was being sarcastic about the US being the only country with racism. I think there are many countries where racism is much more virulent than anything you're likely to find in the US...either because it is considered acceptable or because they pretend it doesn't exist.

But a lot of people in other countries enjoy feeling that they are morally superior to the US.

If the U.N. is concerned about human rights, go take up Muslims kidnapping Christian, Yazidi and animist girls for rape, murder and forced marriage. That’s both human rights and feminism.
Or take on female genital mutilation, girls attacked for going to school, women threatened for not wearing the veil, people killed for not converting.
That’s a global problem that needs a global solution.
Instead, they target minor issues in the country paying a huge chunk of their tab, ignoring the greatest challenge of our time.
Whether you consider it Xth crusade or World War 3 is a matter of opinion.
