It’s not every day that a senior United Nations official reprimands the U.S. for its race relations

Author has not been keeping up with current events.

(from the newsource-LA Slimes):" ..But after a 17-day visit that included cities that have become flashpoints in police and race relations,
such as Ferguson, Mo.; Baton Rouge, La.; and Baltimore, that’s what Maina Kiai concluded.
A Kenyan human rights lawyer, Kiai is the U.N.’s special rapporteur on the rights to freedom of peaceful assembly and of association,
and his trip last month was meant to examine how Americans handle protests
.
He had planned his visit with the State Department for months and expected he’d have to search hard for demonstrations when he arrived."

Talk about your "cherry picking" !!
The biggest violations of human rights have ocurred under this Administration
And furthermore the Globalist UN needs to clean its own house, before it looks for 'the mote' in somebody else's eye.

Kenya is among the last places to criticize anyone else on human rights.

The liberals and media create a dishonest meme and the world believes that’s who we are.

They portray a small percentage of a small percentage of the population as representative of America.

THE CURE

Stop the welfare and handouts except for the truly needy,

Stop paying people to sit on their butts and NOT WORK.

Stop paying them to lay on their backs making more babies who will also never leave the ghetto.

Shut down the ghettos that survive on government handouts.

The government made segregation illegal but it is government policies that enable and finance the blacks self segregation.

Get the minorities off their asses, out of the ghettos and trying to earn their own way in life and most of the whining and hand-wringing ans anti-social behavior will end.

Then they will be just like the rest of us - busy, tired and needing some sleep so we can get to work tomorrow morning.

He is black, what do you expect. Most Blacks are black first, no matter what country or organization they are from. In the USA, most Blacks seem to be black first, democrat second and American third - if they ever get to the third one.

“blunt discrimination” by police against black Americans has reached “crisis levels,” and that Congress is “dysfunctional” in how it responds to problems.

There is a very simple solution.

Cut America's dues to the UN by 90% and spend that money creating jobs in America.
