The UN Will Decide If America Is Racist

[SUBMAN1]

WTF are they thinking? Why are they in our business anyway? Do they really want the US to pull out of the UN since they get most of their money from us? Here is where your American tax dollars are going people. Pathetic:

-S

The United Nations has taken it upon itself to investigate the American presidential campaign. Why does the UN have such an interest in our election? Because since Barack Obama is black and will be the Democrat nominee, the United Nations wants to investigate whether racism plays a role in the presidential campaign.


Excuse me, but just when did the UN get the authority to become involved in our national elections?


Will this be enough to generate a groundswell of opinion against this rancid organization? Probably not, and that's sad. It's time for the UN to go .. go anywhere but on American territory.


The UN investigator will be looking "contemporary forms of racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia, and related intolerance" during a two week tour of the United States (and Puerto Rico). He will be talking to government leaders but also community members, academics and people working in the field of racism and discrimination (i.e.. Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson). If there is anyone out there who doesn't firmly believe that the UN will issue a finding that the US electoral process is racist ... well, you need help.


Do you know we actually agreed to this? That's right. The US apparently accepted the investigation because we need to lead by example and be open to outside investigation. What a complete an utter waste of time. We are becoming a world where a black man could be the most powerful person in the world, and yet the UN insists that racism must play a part in his campaign.

Ah who cares. It's just one more thing about the UN to ignore.

Ok, I've had my moment..

Arent they INVESTIGATING wether racism plays a role instead of being convinced it does?
Dont get me wrong, I think it is a waste of time and money and complete bull****, but the stuff quotes is bull**** aswell.

so what is my question?

The UN studies many many different things. It is one of the primary purposes of the UN.

I think people are making too much out of nothing. It is not like the UN is claiming any election fraud or anything.

The United States has one of the most open and diverse election procedures in the world. For the first time someone other than a white dude is a finalist in the competition.

Of course the UN, and many other NGOs, are going to be studying this election. Why wouldn't they?

Have we become so paranoid that someone studying us has to be bad?

Don't we want the world to study us and learn from our examples?

Much ado about nothing.

Because their is no need of their investigation. Their is 100% chance that their finding was written before the investigation on that the US is racists, even if it is not!

What it really is, is an attempt by the UN to mess with the US election process. That is what it really is.

It'S stupid to reject that racism exists. and it is at least as stupid needing to have a study on it first in order to know it.

[CaptHawkeye]

Considering a ban on inter-racial marriage was only narrowly lifted by a margin of 60% to 40% in Texas, i imagine it's not going to be favorable.

It amazes me how much the American South sucks. Don't those people still think they were on the right side of the civil war?

It is one thing to know it exists somewhere. It is another to reconnoiter the extent to which it exists.

The U.S. government is by far the largest debtor to the United Nations and is falling further behind in dues payments to the UN and its affiliated agencies. As detailed in the chart below, the U.S. begins 2008 with $1.5 billion in arrears at the United Nations. The President’s proposed budget for FY 2009 will likely push permanent U.S. debt to more than $2 billion.
Yet due to the fact that the U.S. typically pays its bills to the UN one year late, by which time new bills have already come in, the result is that the U.S. is rarely less than $2 billion behind in its payments to the United Nations. Click here to view a presentation on U.S. debt to the UN.

None of which changes the fact that we contribute more to the UN than any other country and iirc that's not including the all that prime Manhatten real estate the UN building is sitting on with is worth billions in itself.

As far as I and ever increasing numbers of my countrymen are concerned we'd be happy if our UN budget were zero and we kicked that nest of thieves and spies from our shores.

They should be investigating corruption within their own organization instead of wasting their time and money on a useless venture such as this.

[Letum]

Wit till you hear the conclusions before you lambast the investigation.

The UN investigation into racism in Japan makes for uncomfortable reading.

[TDK1044]

The UN was a corrupt, toothless waste of space the day it was formed, and nothing has changed.
