(CNSNews.com) – The Rev. Jesse Jackson, founder and president of the Rainbow Push Coalition, wants the United Nations’ human rights watchdog brought into the debate over the shooting of Trayvon Martin.

But Jackson is proposing an investigation by the U.N.’s top human rights apparatus, the Human Rights Council (HRC), a controversial body whose ranks include regimes with poor human rights records, including some of America’s most vocal critics.

Pretty close to treason. He is calling for foreign intervention in our domestic affairs.

I hope all these race baiters and left wing kooks who are for the homosexual marriage, polygamy, and anything else all call for a boycott of my state so we never have to put up with them anyway

agree with all of that.

Blacks back in 2008 got such a racist chip on their shoulders , much like the homosexuals that their racism and bigotry has become on par with the KKK

that’s a great idea. let’s see what the obamites do if the UN passes economic sanctions against florida.


Stevie Wonder said he’s boycotting Fl. DU’ers want the entire country to boycott FL. Huge argument over there. Libs who live in FL wondering why they should be punished with a boycott. The other libs are telling them they are also guilty for killing Martin and need to be punished because they live in FL.

I respectfully disagree. I have direct personal knowledge of how he operated back in the “good old days,” and it was no more noble then than it is now. The only difference was then we didn’t have the internet and it was easier to keep up a false façade.

If you’re interested, here’s what happened. My dad was an educator in Chicago’s public schools for about forty years, spanning from the ‘40’s to the ‘80’s. He had started a program at his inner city high school where there were two tracks for Latin class, one for the students who worked hard and had exceptional ability, and a lower tier for everyone else. The plan was working. Good kids from poor, dysfunctional families were making it out of the hood. So many so he had some Chicago medical school officials telling him he was the primary source of their successful minority applicants.

Then Jesse Jackson and Mayor Daley the elder got involved. It seems the parents of the lower tier students got wind of the success of the upper tier kids, and they were outraged that their children were not also hitting the big time. It had to be, they thought, my dad was racist, because he wasn’t giving all of them an equal shot at success.

So they shut the program down, and the steady stream of success stories stopped. They took away my dad’s principalship and shipped him to the downtown office to write budget reports for the remainder of his career. He was miserable, and was getting ulcers. But he was old school. This was his new way to support his family and he was going to stick with it, unfair as it was.

As for Mr. Jackson’s nobler days? He sat down with my dad, at the time he was losing his principalship, probably some time in the late sixties early seventies, and told him to his face the reason he was losing his job as principal of that school was because he was white. Just that direct. Jackson has always been that person, and it matters not to me one whit that he may have been better at managing his public image back in the good old days.

Another thought while I’m at it. My dad got to experience the dysfunction and the racism of the hood in person, for decades. He told me of a conversation he had with a woman that encapsulated racial hatred like I’ve never heard it before or since. She told him that just as blacks were slaves of whites for 400 years (her words), so whites would be slaves of blacks for the next 400 years.

This is the vile, bitter root of race hatred that Jackson/Sharpton/Holder/Obama know is there to be tapped. And they cannot permit it to heal. Once it heals, once you have real integration and blending of the lives of black and white into a healthy middle class, with functional family life, more concerned with prosperity and personal happiness than settling old scores, the game is over. The hate merchants would lose their market and have to go out and get a real job. So they do not permit it to heal.

My dad also predicted a race war. He believed it was inevitable, given the relentless stoking of the lust for revenge, and it was a source of great sadness to him. I am hopeful he was wrong.

The UN doesn’t believe that gun ownership is a civil right.
