First, the United Nations needs to STAY THE FUCK OUT OF OUR BUSINESS here in America. We are America, and it is time that America stops letting the United Nations, the World Trade Organization and others their attempts at dictating United States policy and politics. Reparations are NOT ON THE TABLE...END OF DISCUSSION, get over it. Maybe you can talk those that sold people into slavery to cough up some Reparations Money, or find someone still living that had slaves and SUE THEM FOR REPARATIONS. Furthermore, it is suggested here that the time has come for the United Nations to look for another home for their organization. The organization does not seem to be a real good match for New York from this writer's perspective. While we are at it, speaking on the topic of others interfering in our internal American business, President Obama and our Congress need to give serious consideration to pulling out of the WTO, and doing away with NAFTA and CAFTA. Barack's comments in Canada today are unacceptable...the man made a promise to Blue Collar Americans, and we EXPECT HIM TO KEEP IT. It's time for some home grown American Protectionist Policies. If China, Canada, Mexico and others do not like it, that is their beef, not ours. Lastly...Mexico is on the verge of Civil War....SECURE OUR BORDER with 50,000 troops...we do not need any more Illegal Aliens finding their way here from Mexico demanding suddenly political asylum.
U.S. Holds Firm on Reparations, Israel in U.N. Racism Talks
Washington Post Staff Writer
Friday, February 20, 2009; Page A10 UNITED NATIONS, Feb. 19 -- The Obama administration on Thursday concluded its first round of politically charged U.N. negotiations on racism, pressing foreign governments to drop reparation demands for slavery and to desist from singling out Israel for criticism in a draft declaration to be presented at a U.N. conference in April.
The United States is exploring whether it will participate in the conference, which will review progress on a declaration from the 2001 World Conference Against Racism, Racial Discrimination, Xenophobia and Related Intolerance. The United States and Israel walked out of that meeting, held in Durban, South Africa.
U.N. officials have urged the Obama administration to participate in the review conference, saying that the election of the first African American president presents the United States with an opportunity to inspire other minorities around the world and to highlight U.S. progress in the years since slavery was abolished and blacks were granted civil rights.
