Minorities, particularly African Americans, are victims of disparities, the U.N. Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination (CERD) said after examining the U.S. record.

"Racial and ethnic discrimination remains a serious and persistent problem in all areas of life from de facto school segregation, access to health care and housing," Noureddine Amir, CERD committee vice chairman, told a news briefing.

Teenager Michael Brown was shot dead by a white police officer on Aug. 9, triggering violent protests that rocked Ferguson - a St. Louis suburb - and shone a global spotlight on the state of race relations in America.

"The excessive use of force by law enforcement officials against racial and ethnic minorities is an ongoing issue of concern and particularly in light of the shooting of Michael Brown," said Amir, an expert from Algeria....

The UN doesn’t know squat about the USA - they poke their nose in where it doesn’t belong.

And you can tell this is true by the quotas in job hiring, the free bump in scores they get on the SAT, the preferential treatment in college admissions, the revolving door justice system for them, all the EBT money they can use.........

Therefore they should be allowed to do strong-arm robberies at will and attack policemen with intent to do great bodily harm when the cop is doing his job?

We should have left that insane, silly organization 40 years ago.

FU UN

[MagUSNRET]

Tell the UN to stop raping women
And tell Obammy the Marxist, to stop giving asylum to these murdering thugs on our dime!

[ronnie raygun]

The UN is a cesspool of the worst humanity has to offer

[2ndDivisionVet]

We started it, formed it and fund it. We are the UN.

But what was done to Zimbabwe’s white farmers is just fine with the UN

The first thing we do after we take power is remove the UN from our soil. Then we blow the building to Kingdom Come.

[JimSEA]

Just thinking, mind you, what if some Ghanian blue helmets were sent in to replace the state and local LEO. What would the reaction of the locals be, initially, after one week, after one month?

Then we blow the building to Kingdom Come.

No,no,no! That building.with a wonderful view of the city and the East River,would house about 50 "undocumented" families in reasonable comfort.

The UN belongs somewhere other than the US. We have discussed this before. Zimbabwe, Libya, Borneo, The Maldives, Andorra, The Falkland Islands—take your pick, but anywhere except the US. A year of this and after a lack of US funding, a real "game changer" as Louis Lerner once said.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

The UN is a propaganda organ. Nothing else.
