When the UN Apes Al Sharpton
The American Spectator ^ | December 12, 2014 | Horace Cooper

Posted on 12/12/2014 4:10:55 AM PST by Cincinatus' Wife

Among the familiar hucksters who sought to capitalize on the troubles in Ferguson, Missouri, came a new face: Prince Zeid Ra’ad Al Hussein, the UN’s High Commissioner for Human Rights and self-styled heir to the non-existent royal houses of Iraq and Syria.

“I am deeply concerned,” Prince Zeid said in a press release, about “institutionalized discrimination” in America, and “I urge the U.S. authorities” to conduct “in-depth examinations” of racial justice. Notwithstanding the overwhelming evidence that Michael Brown’s death resulted from the criminal acts he engaged in before and during his encounter with officer Darren Wilson, Zeid’s Human Rights Council invited the Brown family to testify before a hearing and afterwards issued a 14-page condemnation of America’s record on race.

Self-awareness, it’s safe to say, is neither Prince Zeid’s nor the Human Rights Council’s strongpoint. Far from representing “the highest standards in the promotion and protection of human rights,” the Council includes many of the poster-children for abuse: Pakistan, Venezuela, China, Saudi Arabia, Vietnam, Russia and Cuba.

But lecturing others, rather than vouchsafing its own integrity, is what the Council does best.

Just as he was admonishing Americans about Ferguson, for example, Prince Zeid also made news when he lashed out at Sri Lankan officials in Colombo for their temerity to question irregularities in the Council’s ongoing investigation into that country. The probe is the result of the government’s decisive victory in 2009 over the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam, or Tamil Tigers, which waged a bloody terrorist war for nearly three decades.

This coming from a moslem - where black slavery still exists presently in Islamic nations - is absolutely worthless....

The time has come for the UN to dissolve - it does nothing for the promotion of humanity!

Muslims despise blacks. The word they use for black (the color) “Abeed” means slave. So, Mr Hussein....pot, meet kettle

From an unnamed source:

I have always questioned if Jessie Jackson and Al Sharpton were
really preachers since they have no church.

When I heard Al Sharpton was guest preacher in our town, I decided to check him out in person and see what it was all about.

I sat down and Sharpton came up to me - I don’t know why, maybe it was because I was the only white person in the Church.

He laid his hands on my hand and said: “By the will of Jesus the Lord All Mighty, and the will of God, you will walk today.”

I told him I was not paralyzed. He came back and laid his hands on me again, and repeated the same thing.

Again I told him there is nothing wrong with me.

After the sermon I stepped outside and lo and behold, my car had been stolen.
