NAACP Asking U.N. Human Rights Council to Condemn American Voter ID Laws

Riled by state-level voting law changes that it alleges are designed to suppress “the political participation of people of color, the poor, the elderly, and the young,” the NAACP is turning to the U.N. Human Rights Council for support.

National Association for the Advancement of Colored People president Benjamin Jealous and other association representatives plan to visit Geneva next week to address the HRC, a forum that frequently witnesses clashes between Western democracies and repressive states.

The NAACP delegation hopes the HRC will take up its concerns about legal initiatives such as voter ID laws passed by more than a dozen states, which proponents say are designed to prevent voter fraud but the NAACP charges are part of an orchestrated campaign to disenfranchise minority groups.

“We are hoping they will come over here, look at the impact of these laws, look at the intent, and actually render their recommendations about what actions we should take with regard to these laws,” USA Today quoted Jealous as saying during a media conference call on Thursday

NAACP must be nutso, every democracy in the developed world requires a picture ID to vote.

Perfect description of todays so-ca;;ed black leaders. I shudder to think how many blacks do not even know who Booker T Washington was much less Frederick Douglas or Sojourner Truth.

If these people think the old Southern slavemasters were hard on them, just wait until the UN takes them over...they don’t have a Constitution to protect civil rights...

one needs proof of ID after one dies. Hey there NAACP, just because the obozo operates outside of the constitution and gets away with it, the UN is not the governing body of this United States, get used to it.

What do the sexual deviants, retards and criminals down at the UN have to do with OUR voter ID laws? The time is coming when Americans are going to have to take action to get the UN the hell our of OUR country. America is a sovereign nation. The UN can take their bull**** somewhere else.

You must have been reading my mind...I think the inked finger is a great idea...permanet ink, IE: cannot be washed off for several days unless one uses acid and the no one without a finger can revote...

This statement you made is the ironic bottom line of the Left’s racist diversity re-education movement. It gathers up Blacks and Hispanics and whites and puts them into an emotional state of weakness - shame, hate and resentment. It offers solutions that are Marxist - poverty, oppression, slavery, abuse and death.

Black slaves did not fight for a better system of enslavement and abuse. They wanted the freedom the white man had.

Obama voters have to show picture ID when they cash their Welfare checks....

And, anyway... F the UN and the NAACP!

Lady, when the UN takes over America, we’ll all wish we were back in old south.

Deport all members of the NAACP back to Kenya -

All I can say is “The Bell Curve”

Stupid is as stupid does.

There is a part of me that hopes the UN does try and stick their nose into this. It might be the straw that breaks the camel’s back, in a PR sense, and we can at last get the US out of the UN, and get the UN the hell out of the US altogether.
