#1 The MSM isn't even reporting this, presumably out of 'respect' for the UN.

BTW, anyone have a link to the pic?

#2 They took the picture off the UN Allah Commissions website on the 22nd, the day after it appeared on Rantburg.

#3 Nah, if they reported it, then they might have to mention (not show) the cartoons again. Can't have that.

#4 "...UN spokesperson Jose Luis Diaz said the poster designer was "probably not aware of the Lego piece origin..."

...Rendering the UN stupid instead of libelous. I'd love to hear old Jose Luis Diaz explain to us the meaning of a child's block toy of "unknown origin" in a poster against racism. OH, modern art, I get it, it's not supposed to MEAN anything. Makes sense then that it came from the UN.

#5 The U.N.

A failed experiment. Time to move on and try something else. I hear this NATO thing could be worth looking into.

#6 The UN and racism.....my ass.
Every country in the UN is up to their ears in racism, except the US and maybe a few others. These people have more balls than brains to address racism. In anothre of today's articles, Paleos aren't accepted into Iraqi society. They're the same race for pit's sake. The Basques hate the Spanish, most young French are second class citizens, the Turks in Germany live in separate areas, and on and on.
Racism is the biggest joke on the planet.
