Linda Thomas-Greenfield's comments show how she will fail to promote human rights at the UN

Published



Linda Thomas-Greenfield, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, has decided that promoting human rights on the global stage is far less important than trashing the United States as a country that is racist to its core.

Speaking to the National Action Network, Thomas-Greenfield declared that “slavery weaved white supremacy into our founding documents and principles.” She also said that “when we raise issues of equity and justice at the global scale, we have to approach them with humility.” This all came in the context of rejoining the U.N. Human Rights Council.
