this person got paid for this, probably a fuckload of money

makes me want to burn down the UN, and those fucking feminists don't help

"I have been struck by the extent to which caricatured narratives about the purported innate differences between rich and poor have been sold to the electorate by some politicians and media, and have been allowed to define the debate."

what the _fuck_ is he talking about

What does that even mean

"It is not for me to suggest any resolution to the hotly contested issue of Puerto Rico’s constitutional status. But what is clear is that many, probably most, Puerto Ricans believe deeply that they are presently colonized and that the US Congress is happy to leave them in the no-man’s land of no meaningful Congressional representation and no ability to really move to govern themselves. In light of recent Supreme Court jurisprudence and Congress’s adoption of PROMESA there would seem to be good reason for the UN Decolonization Committee to conclude that the island is no longer a self-governing territory."

THE UN DECOLONIZATION COMMITTEE

WUT

Wor

Wot

Where is the proof to support that claim?

There’s a number of reason why PR is still a territory and why it hasn’t evolved beyond that state

yes all the author is saying is that _current year_ might be a good time for the *UN Decolonization Committee* to look into the issue at all

I don't find that troubling

Wow

what I find troubling is the commission itself

Do they talk about France?

spain, belgium?

Because France is #1 in KEEPING THEIR COLONIES

I have no fucking idea what the members of that committee spend their time on, but my immediate assumptions are entirely negative

Same

I think it’s a really unnecessary committee

That they added to justify getting more shekels from countries

yes and allowing cunts like the harry potter wamen to speak and that retard princess with the frog mouth

I'm sure 90% of the audience at the speech were paid to attend

"Demonization of the poor can take many forms. It has been internalized by many poor people who proudly resist applying for benefits to which they are entitled and struggle valiantly to survive against the odds. Racism is a constant dimension and I regret that in a report that seeks to cover so much ground there is not room to delve much more deeply into the phenomenon. Racial disparities, already great, are being entrenched and exacerbated in many contexts."

this guy, srsly

Wait

Fucking RETCON QUEEN spoke at that committee?

I love how the UN picked the most unqualified people to testify for their committees

no they did not speak at the UN Decolonization Committee, they spoke in front of the general assembly I believe

Reasons like this is why I’m okay with cutting funds to the UN

or at a gala event

the fact that they spoke at all, regardless of who it was in front of, should be enough to put whoever responsible in jail for gross mishandling of public funds or whatever

Exactly

there are _actual_ places in the world where women are suffering to some extent

but noooo

lets pay these pompous bitches to whine

LETS PUT SAUDI ARABIA ON THE WOMENS RIGHT COUNCIL GUYS

wow much progressive
