"Voices calling for an end to "the endemic and structural racism that blights US society" must be heard and understood, for the country to move past its "tragic history of racism and violence", the UN Human Rights chief said on Wednesday.

"The voices calling for an end to the killings of unarmed African Americans need to be heard", UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Michelle Bachelet said in a statement. "The voices calling for an end to police violence need to be heard"."

Ms. Bachelet, a Chilean, knows precisely what she is talking about! She knows what it is to have someone's knee choking your aorta. Her father, an army General during the socialist era of President Salvador Allende, was murdered after the U.S.-sponsored coup led by Augusto Pinochet. Ms. Bachelet herself was kidnapped and tortured.

She looked 'white', but obviously not 'white enough' for Washington and its local assassins.

What is truly significant is that even the United Nations (usually subservient to the U.S.) is now unwilling to remain silent.

Race 'issues' have to be addressed. Racism, inside the national boundaries, as well as on the global scale, has to be fought against, by all means.

The depressing state of our planet is a result of racism.
