The UN has invited a Black Lives Matter activist to participate in a high-level debate in New York on human rights, with a particular focus on “combatting discrimination and inequalities.”
The two-day U.N. event Tuesday and Wednesday comes amid tensions over last week’s police shootings of two black men in Minnesota and Louisiana, and the killing by a gunman of five police officers during a Black Lives Matter protest march in Dallas.
Hosted by U.N. General Assembly president Mogens Lykketoft, the event entitled “Human Rights at the center of the global agenda” involves keynote speeches, a plenary debate among ministers from U.N. member-states, and three “interactive segments.”
The panel for the first of the three includes Black Lives Matter co-founder Opal Tometi and three other participants – the U.N. “special rapporteur on contemporary forms of racism,” the executive director of U.N. Women, and a disabilities advocate.

Tometi’s participation at the U.N. event comes after the head of the U.N.’s “working group of experts on people of African descent” said Friday it was time for the US government “to strongly assert that black lives matter.”
“The Working Group is outraged and strongly condemns the new police killings of two African-American men,” said the group’s chairman, Ricardo Sunga, in reference to the deaths last week of Philando Castile in St. Paul, Minn. and Alton Sterling in Baton Rouge, La.

“The US is far from recognizing the same rights for all its citizens. Existing measures to address racist crimes motivated by prejudice are insufficient and have failed to stop the killings,” Sunga continued.
“It is time, now, for the US government to strongly assert that black lives matter and prevent any further killings as a matter of national priority.”

US out of UN....UN out of US.
The UN can go to hell.
I agree, we have lots of laws and programs that favor blacks, and they are committing homicides right and left. Pure racism.
Globalist control is the UN’s goal. BLM’ers are the perfect shock troops for change.
Time to show that festering pool of antisemitism the door. Boot their flaccid a___ right out into the Atlantic. How dare they slap America in the face by inviting a black thug representing murderers and looters to their midst?
FUUN
Are they inviting ISIS to take part in a human rights debate with a particular focus on combating religious discrimination and inequalities?
The UN also wants to place Blacks above the Law ,the UN’s time has come and gone ,it’s time to DISBAND IT
That just legitimized them.
Sure, both are criminal organizations.
“The US is far from recognizing the same rights for all its citizens.”
BULLSH!T
If bringing in BLM, might as well bring in Soros, the guy funding them, which the liberal media has tried to hide.
Wife just told me that Steve Harvey is a BLM supporter.
Only white countries can be racist, because only white countries have any measurable diversity
I can’t figure out what the hell they want other then destroy America, like obama wants.
Birds of a feather and all that, ya know?
The total BS that emanates from the un should be treated according to that which it is.
Irrelevant.
Can we vote on USEXIT from the UN?
If we can’t move the UN out of the US, let’s move the UN to the hood. See how long it takes them to uninvite BLM.
