I think it's important to note that the conference addressed "the legacy of the trans-atlantic slave trade, colonization, the occupation of Palestine & the expropriation of indigineous people's lands and resources." Therefore, supposed 1st amendment violations inadequately serve to justify the decision to boycott the conference. Nor do they justify the contempt shown by western countries for calls to adopt the Programme of Action from the Durban Declaration.

The resolution is not based on individual rights. When a racist speaks at the opening of the Durban II Conference, that speaks volumes. Obama was right in boycotting the Conference even though I disagree with several of his other policies/actions -- But read the actual resolution ... understand how it effects freedom of speech and our unalienable civil rights as such, to make an educated and responsible decision. God bless the Republic!

Yeah that is true.

Obama is not addressing any Poor or Blacks issues. I voted for him but I feel he need to address these issues.

You don't like Obama?

In 2001, I saw their behaviour at the telly. Unbelievable, it was massively insulting to the global population.
Shortly after, 9/11 happened. I always thought that 9/11 had in some sense to do with Durban. Eary thing is, I thought that after Durban, something would happen.
Long live the pirates.
