United Nations to Investigate Racism in USA

A special U.N. human rights investigator will visit the US this month to probe racism, an issue that has forced its way into the presidential race.

Maybe one day Americans will join the Europeans and abolish racism. :p

Yeah, I'm sure there's no racism in Europe...so all those muslims rioting and attacking Christians is all some sort...dream...right?

SUCCESSIVE WAVES of immigrants arriving in Britain have faced racism. Every week in Britain there are attacks on asylum seekers.

Blacks and Asians still suffer from systematic discrimination in education, housing and jobs. Blacks are eight times more likely to face being stopped and searched by the police than whites.

In Britain and across Europe Nazi organisations like the British National Party (BNP) or the French National Front are at the heart of stoking up racism. As well as racism against blacks and Asians, these parties also have an older form of racism at their core. Virulent anti-Semitism remains central to the perverted worldview of neo-Nazis in Europe, the US and elsewhere.

As well as racism against blacks and Asians, these parties also have an older form of racism at their core. Virulent anti-Semitism remains central to the perverted worldview of neo-Nazis in Europe, the US and elsewhere.

The BNP's magazine Identity explained to the bootboys last year the need to target Muslim immigrants: "Which enemy is it in our political interest to be seen to be opposing more vigorously at the moment? To a party aiming to win seats in London, the West Midlands and the former mill towns of northern England, the answer should be pretty obvious."

But the war in Iraq was always about the two central concerns of the Bush gang-oil and US power. Successive US governments have been happy to see fury at its role in the Middle East deflected onto its ally Israel. They support Israel because they see it as a "watchdog state" looking after their interests in the region.

One great success of the global anti-war movement is that it has cut through the smokescreen thrown up by the supporters of US imperialism. It has squarely targeted the neo-conservative warmongers and united large numbers of Jews alongside Muslims and many others.

Oh yeah, because... like europe... there is no racism. Yeah, that's it!

Did you know that in Mexico the rich people hate the poor people? There is a huge divide between the two - financialism? Perhaps...
In Western Asia, the muslims don't all hate each other...
In Germany... and all over europe - there are no anti-semites...

Don't look this way, nothing to see here!

I figured an article about racism in europe would be better received from a place like socialist worker than anywhere else, since there seem to be such high standards for cites from the non lefties around here.

You really didn't just say that did you? So you think there's no racism in Europe?

:rofl: Poor Wes.
