Coming to the rescue of Barack Obama—the United Nations “Special Rapporteur on contemporary forms of racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance,” to expose the bigotry and racism of the United States: U.N. racism investigator to visit U.S. from Monday.

GENEVA (Reuters) - A special U.N. human rights investigator will visit the United States this month to probe racism, an issue that has forced its way into the race to secure the Democratic Party’s presidential nomination.

The United Nations said Doudou Diene would meet federal and local officials, as well as lawmakers and judicial authorities during the May 19-June 6 visit.

“The special rapporteur will…gather first-hand information on issues related to racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance,” a U.N. statement said on Friday. [Well, yeah. That’s why they call him the “Special Rapporteur on contemporary forms of racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance.” – ed.]

His three-week visit, at U.S. government invitation, will cover eight cities — Washington D.C., New York, Chicago, Omaha, Los Angeles, New Orleans, Miami and San Juan, Puerto Rico.

Special Rapporteur on contemporary forms of racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance Doudou Diène was last seen at LGF when he was denouncing Denmark for racism—for publishing the dreaded cartoons of Mohammed: UN on Wrong Side of Cartoon Jihad.
