The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People announced it will appear before the United Nations Human Rights Council in Geneva next week to seek support for its fight against voter identification laws enacted in U.S. states.
The civil rights organization says the laws are among several measures adopted by some states that violate the human and civil rights of minority voters by suppressing their participation in elections.

"The power of the U.N. on state governments historically is to shame them and to put pressure on the U.S. government to bring them into line with global standards, best practices for democracy," NAACP President Benjamin Jealous told reporters Thursday.
Who is part of the Human Rights Council? Saudi Arabia, who do not allow women to vote. Communist Cuba and China are members also. They are supposed to make sure we don't violate election laws.

W^F is with "colored" people? Being minority is no excuse. Get with the program and stop complaining already. Perhaps they need a pass on buying alcohol and driving too etc etc.. I would think any self respecting brother is embarassed by this crap. Obviously these groups want to manipulate the vote. Leave it to the naacp to invite the camel into the tent
Aren't they the ones observed in newsreel footage of standing in the corner observing while some Afghanny dips their finger in ink and leaves a thumbprint on a piece of paper with all their personal info on it to verify their I/D?
So, tell me again why the U.N. would decide against photo I/D?
Have no idea since I have no idea as to which colored people you are referring to.

To be denied the right the vote, couldn't agree with you more.

A self-respecting brother would write such a thing in the first place. Have you ever thought about purchasing a mirror and give a little thought to what self-respect actually means?

How do voter ID laws supress minoritys? Self respect?
