UN Sending Racism Investigator...Here

'Obama (...) stands to become the country's first African American president.'
No, he doesn't. Reuters seems keen on playing the race card. Obama is not an African American, Reuters. Obama is an Arab American. He has had only one Negro relative.
His names, and the names of all of his paternal relatives except maybe those of that Negro relative are Arabic - because except that Negro relative, his paternal ancestors were all Arabs.

U.S. out of U.N.
U.N. out of U.S.
Faster, please.

They are sending Doudou Diene? Don't they realize we already ave a Doo doo Dean in charge of the DNC?

Our State Department, of which the head is a black woman, invites this moron? I used to think Rice would have made a good candidate for POTUS, but she has consistantly shown herself as inept and out of her league when dealing with the Middle East. Now, it seems that she can't handle the UN either. I do not believe she is racist (a la Rev. Wright), but she certainly hasn't been very astute in dealing with the antisemitism of Hamas and Fatah. Now, she lets the UN in to monitor "racism" in the most multicultural society on the face of the earth?

I doubt this has anything to do with the U.N. wanting to slam the U.S., though that particular practice is indeed a favorite lefty past-time. I think this has more to do with laying the groundwork for pushing Independent/undecided voters toward Obama to demonstate, if for no other reason, that they (we) are not a racist country. Proof will come in both the timing and substance of Diene's report on the matter. Watch and see.

Anyone want to put up a wager that the investigator finds it too, but ONLY in the ranks of conservatives and Republicans? It is doubtful that they'd even look at Wrights comments with any hint of fairness

ANOTHER REASON TO END AMERICA'S MEMBERSHIP IN THE UN!

A special U.N. Human Rights investigator has been invited to come to the United States to probe racism and Islamophobia in America. During his three week visit, which started on May 19th, Mr. Doudou Diene, a Senegalese lawyer, will be visiting eight cities and will meet with various federal, state and local government officials, lawmakers and members of the judiciary. According to the United Nations, the purpose of his visit is to gather information on issues related to racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and other related intolerance in America.

Mr. Diene is from Senegal, a country with a 95% Muslim majority that is also a member of the Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC), which makes up the largest single voting bloc in the United Nations. The 57 Islamic countries in this (OIC) bloc have a record of consistently voting against Western-style democracies and routinely condemning Israel.

Mr. Diene has a personal history of focusing his human rights investigations mostly on Western-style democratic societies, issuing biased reports on alleged institutionalized racism and 'Islamophobia' in democratic countries such as Japan, Canada, Denmark, and Switzerland while ignoring real human-rights violations in the non-democratic Muslim countries of Africa, Asia and the Middle East.

It should also be pointed out that the United Nation's Human Rights Council includes some of the world's worst human-rights violators, including China, Russia, Cuba, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt. This same UN Human Rights Council has previously urged the United States to halt the post 9-11 racial profiling of Americans of Arab, Muslim and South Asian descent. At the same time, the United Nation's Human Rights Council has ignored the fact that United Nations' own peacekeepers in Africa are currently raping women in the Congo and have turned a blind eye to the man-made starvation of millions in southern Africa. In the arena of human rights, the United Nations is not only morally bankrupt, but it is rapidly becoming an irrelevant institution.

Doudou Diene has a clear record against freedom of speech and free expression when it comes to Islam. Mr. Diene had criticized Danish newspapers when they published cartoons of the Prophet Mohammad, accusing them of placing their country's right of free speech above fighting religious intolerance and incitement to religions hatred against Muslims. It would appear that Mr. Diene would not be a supporter of the First Amendment of the US Constitution either.

As we all know, copies of the Quran are available in almost any bookstore in America and the book is studied in countless American universities, while Christians and other non-Muslims in Saudi Arabia are not even allowed to possess a copy of their holy books. The Saudi government routinely desecrates and burns Bibles that its security forces confiscate at immigration points coming into the country or during raids on Christian expatriates worshiping privately. Just days before Crown Prince Abdullah recently met with President Bush, two Christian gatherings in Saudi Arabia were raided in Riyadh where Bibles and crosses were confiscated to be eventually incinerated. Why hasn't the United Nations' Human Rights Council sent Mr. Diene to investigate Saudi Arabia's overt religious intolerance and persecution of non-Muslims? Why hasn't the United Nations sent Mr. Diene to investigate the anti-Christian persecution and murders in Albania and Kosovo committed by the Muslim governments? It's because a very clear double standard now exists at the United Nations.

American taxpayers contribute approximately $5 Billion a year to the operations of the United Nations, which devotes much of its double-standard energy to shielding dictatorial regimes, attempting to usurp individual nations' sovereignty and promoting a future new world order in which UN bureaucrats will be in charge. Worst of all, the United Nations serves as an on-going forum for rampant anti-American and anti-democratic diatribes.

The United Nations has been granted no authority over the American people or our government because the UN does not derive its powers from the consent of the American people. Americans need to stop thinking that the United Nations has some legitimate, legal authority over our country. It does not! Americans have a choice. We can follow the U.S. Constitution and protect our freedoms, liberties and sovereignty, or we can continue to contribute billions of dollars to a bottomless pit and submit to the unconstitutional interference by the United Nations in our country's internal affairs.

In this particular investigation into racism and 'Islamophobia' in the USA, Mr. Diene is interfering in our country's internal affairs and he is hardly an objective reporter or an impartial judge of racial conditions, xenophobia and other related intolerance in America. Indeed, Mr. Diene will find a great deal more racial, religious and ethnic intolerance and persecution in his own backyard in Africa and the Middle East.

Perhaps, the time has finally come for Americans to rethink the value of our membership and participation in the United Nations. The evidence is clear. Not only should we get out of the United Nations, but maybe it is also time for the United Nations to get out of the United States as well.

I support the "American Sovereignty Restoration Act of 2007" (HR-1146), introduced by Rep. Ron Paul, to end the membership of the United States in the United Nations.
