I guess this thread is pretty racist, isn't it? Sorry about that. I am trying to change, and committed to dealing with my own white privilege. I will be focusing my anger on the NRA...

Next big announcement: Iran's Ayatollah Ali Hosseini Khamenei to be appointed chairman of the United Nations Committee on Religious Tolerance.

The leftists say the UN appointed Mugabe to control/appease him so he won't be bad anymore.   :facepalm:

Considering some of the countries serving on or having served on the UN Human Rights Commission, it's not really that far afield of a choice for the WHO.

The WHO head, being forced to withdraw his ambassador appointment to Robert Mugabe, is a way to remind Africans not to elevate each other

And as another tweeter pointed out, this is what identity politics looks like. Maybe we should just be honest about identity politics, and call it bigotry.

I'm surprised he didn't delete that tweet.  Detweet.
