Outrage: UN To Investigate The US For Racism

Via Gateway Pundit, the UN Human Rights Commission chaired by Libya and Cuba is going to research racism, xenophobia and intolerance in America. I guess we are not suffiently socialist for them and don't have a benevolent dictator like Castro or Ghadafi ruling us. Al-Reuters has the story.

A special U.N. human rights investigator will visit the United States this month to probe racism, an issue that has forced its way into the race to secure the Democratic Party's presidential nomination.

The United Nations said Doudou Diene would meet federal and local officials, as well as lawmakers and judicial authorities during the May 19-June 6 visit.

"The special rapporteur will...gather first-hand information on issues related to racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance," a U.N. statement said on Friday.

His three-week visit, at U.S. government invitation, will cover eight cities -- Washington D.C., New York, Chicago, Omaha, Los Angeles, New Orleans, Miami and San Juan, Puerto Rico.

Race has become a central issue in the U.S. election cycle because Sen. Barack Obama, the frontrunner in the battle for the Democratic nomination battle, stands to become the country's first African American president.

His campaign has increased turnout among black voters but has also turned off some white voters in a country with a history of slavery and racial segregation.

Diene, a Senegalese lawyer who has served in the independent post since 2002, will report his findings to the U.N. Human Rights Council next year.

I am sure they will visit every single grievance group they can find like the ACLU, NAACP, La Raza(the race), CAIR, GLBT, and NAMBLA to name a few and if we don't elect Obama as president, allow open borders with full rights for illegal aliens or allow gays to marry it will be proof that we are a racist, xenophobic, intolerant nation. I have an idea, let's kick the UN out of the US altogether and quit giving them billions of our tax dollars to waste. Let the kleptocrats move to Brussels or better yet Havana or any one of the dozens of capitols around the world with serious issues of human rights abuses but, oh, that's right if they actually investigated those countries they could wind up in jail or dead.
