U.N. council to hold 'urgent debate' on racism and police brutality in U.S.
The Washington Times ^ | June 15, 2020 | Lauren Meier

Posted on 06/15/2020 10:06:04 AM PDT by kevcol

The United Nations Human Rights Council this week will review reports of racism, police brutality and violence against protesters in the U.S. in an urgent meeting after weeks of anti-racism protests that have swept the country.

The request to hold an “urgent debate” among the 47-member group, of which the U.S. is not a member, was initially requested by Burkina Faso on behalf of 54 African countries after the family of George Floyd urged the group to review systemic racism and police brutality in the U.S.

Mr. Floyd died on May 25 after a white officer knelt on his neck for nearly nine minutes during an arrest in Minneapolis.

The UN has done nothing positive since the Korean War.

muslim countries murder gay people, Jews, and anyone that opposes muslims, burns them to death, drowns them on live film, throws them off buildings, beheads them on live TV- skins them alive- puts them through shredders alive- murder their own family members, usually women, for ‘disgracing the family’- Murder Christians left and right- etc

But by golly the UN just has to ‘investigate racism’ in the US when there hasn’t been any blatant deadly racism against black people by conservatives for decades -

the only racists i see these days are antifa, the kkk, skinheads, and black folks- infact- all the racist violence I’ve seen in the last decade or so, came from both blacks and antifa- who have rioted, burned, looted, assaulted, and murdered- wit near impunity- with near 100% protection from liberals in power who tell police to stand down-

Racism? You bet there is- it’s violent, it’s deadly, and it’s coming from the left, from antifa, and from the black community that support and get involved with the above mentioned deadly and destructive criminal activities

The left wanna ‘have talks’ about racism? Sure- as soon as they admit that THEY are responsible for the vast majority of racism we’ve witnessed in the last decade or so

Until they are willing to admit that THEY are the racists, that THEY are the ones engaged in deadly and destructive criminal activates, then they can go pound sand- That many black folks are exploiting the ‘racist moniker’ in order to be racists themselves- with near impunity and protection fro m their racist leftist leaders- then they can go pound sand- because they aint being honest- and don’;t want an honest dialogue about anything- they just want the right to submit to their racist agenda-

and i don’t mean that all black folks are racist- but I do mean that quite a number are- Those are the ones you see beating the hell out of white folks, see them burning down buildings, assaulting trump supporters regardless of the trump supporter’s ages or genders they are the ones who murder police during riots- ambush them- run them over- etc- These are the bad elements in the black community- and they are the ones engaging in their own brand of racism- all while screaming about racism themselves-

Again- lemme know when the left truly wanna have an HONEST discussion about racism- because so far- it doesn’t appear that many do- they just wanna loot destroy, burn, murder and assault anyone that doesn’t support their own brand of racism

Maybe blacks in America can be declared refugees and the UN can resettle them in other nicer countries.

How about a UN look into white genocide in Africa? Hell, even here!

Ok, maybe just peer into all those 20,000+ white women being raped annually from ferals.

Ok, then all the white prison guys subjected and humiliated anally by the chosen race.

Masked men, murder and mass displacement: how terror came to Burkina Faso

The deadliest attacks – 35 people killed in a village in December, a church attack in February that left 24 dead, 43 villagers murdered last weekend – are usually publicised. But with more than 100 incidents recorded in February alone, according to one estimate, most of the violence experienced by the women lining up for food has gone unrecorded.

They also got it right on “pressure from above, pressure from below”.

Some very wealthy people are responsible for this mess.

This would be funny if not for the fact that it’s so hypocritical.

If the UN plans an ‘urgent debate’ on racism and police brutality in U.S it tells you the UN is working for an Enemy of the US

What are they going to accomplish.. throw us out of the UN. If they do anything to piss us off, meaning Trump, they lose their building, lose the money we normally pay, and will have to relocate to another country within their members when they probably don’t want them either. Trump has already cut off some of the funds earmarked for Palestine, If they try an additional assessment in this case, tell them to get out and go to he((. We’ll see how fast they reverse field or get out of the business because the US is the major funding for their budget.

I also find it a little ridiculous that the commissioner of the UN Human rights committee, Michelle Bachelet Jeria who is going to chair this debate, is a two time president of Chile that has serious human rights difficulties to include discrimination against indigenous populations; societal violence and discrimination against women, children, and lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) people; child labor; and harsh prison conditions and treatment. When the chosen head of a commission to determine less problems in a country when her country has so much more of the same problems in another country that the country the head represents has, I think I can safely assume they aren’t qualified to go there. Doing the same thing in a violent way to people, doesn’t exactly make you an expert. It makes you a criminal. Or a psychopath.

Burkina Faso?

Shouldn’t we expel all their “diplomats”, since they claim that we cannot guarantee “their safety” in NYC?

Hmmm...

What other “countries” signed the allegation?
