The U.N. Conference on Racism - WHY AREN'T WE GOING TO BE THERE?

I was listening to Dr. Michael Fauntroy on the local Black talk radio station, when a caller asked if The United States was going to send a delegation to the United Nations Conference on Racism. Dr. Fauntroy said that there were no plans to send a delegation to the conference at this time. Then, Dr. Fauntroy said something that I hadn't known :

A delegation from the Congressional Black Caucus was going to go, and they have been ORDERED

FUCKING ORDERED not to go by Nancy Pelosi.

EXCUSE ME?

EXCUSE ME?

Some bogus ass pretense of an ' important vote'. Fuck that. I don't believe that bogus excuse and neither do you.

We aren't going because of our 51st State, because they were critical of Israel-That Zionism is racism. Israel doesn't want the language in there, then they shouldn't have left the table in Durbin. But, you did, and they issued it, so if you disagree, come to the table and discuss things.

Our slavish devotion to being the minion of our 51st state does not serve this country well, in the least. I'm tired of AIPAC running American foreign policy.

It is patently absurd that the United States will not be at the U.N. Conference on Racism for a SECOND TIME.

US Threatens Boycott of UN Racism Conference?

U.S. officials say the United States will not participate in a United Nations conference on racism this year unless a draft version of the meeting's final report is drastically changed.

The U.S. State Department issued a statement Friday about the World Conference Against Racism, saying U.S. representatives will be unable to attend the conference, due to open in about two months (April 20-25) in Geneva.

The draft of a final document for the conference has already been circulated among U.N. member nations. The State Department said the draft in its current form is not salvageable. American envoys say it would limit freedoms of religion and speech and would unfairly label Israel's policies as racist.

Now, let me get this straight. We're threatening to boycott this conference because of ISRAEL?

ISRAEL?

G-T-F-O-H.

Here we go again, letting the 51st state dictate foreign policy for this country.

Why?

Because they were TELLING THE TRUTH ABOUT ISRAEL?

Why do I feel AIPAC's hands ALL OVER THIS?

Rahm Emmanuel's hands all over this?

Unfuckingbelievable.
