S.Africa: President Mbeki's favourite Racist activity the Conference on Racism to be dropped!Date Posted: Friday 02-May-2008[What? Is President Mbeki losing his whole purpose for living? Perhaps he is terminally ill?
This so-called conference on racism was just a podium to attack Whites and the West and of course Israel. In the past, Israel, America and even Canada have stayed away from this complete propaganda farce which is run by Communists and Terrorists for the benefit and advancement of Communism and Terrorism. Even General Colin Powell refused to attend this farce.
Let's take a look at past AfricanCrisis articles on this very subject.
In 2001, just 8 days before 9/11, I wrote the following:-
USA & Israel leave the conference on racism I concluded with: This "Conference on Racism" is, and was intended to be, nothing more than a propaganda exercise to bash certain countries and to STIR UP RACE HATRED. That's what this is really all about.
In 2002, we saw that Asians were thrown out of the conference because this "conference" is really just for Blacks who hate everyone else:-
Racism conference expels whites, Asians
If a piece of Terrorist trash like Gaddaffi is interested in "combatting racism" you must know what a lot of hogwash this really is:-
US says NO to UN-millions for Libyan-led racism conference
Earlier this year, this so-called "Conference on Racism" was due to be held in Durban again, but Canada already said it would not be a part of this joke:-
Canada pulls out of next year's UN conference on racism in Durban, S.Africa
If you're looking for lots of racism that needs combatting, look no further than the South African Governments racial quotas and the laws of Zimbabwe. Now there's racism up to your eyeballs! Jan]
South Africa will not host a planned conference on racism next year, which was to be the sequel to the controversial conference held in Durban in 2001.
The UN Watch reports that diplomatic sources have confirmed that South Africa has dropped its offer to host the conference, which it says was announced by President Thabo Mbeki in February.
The event is now planned for a European city in April or May next year, according to the UN Watch, a Geneva-based organisation that monitors the UN's compliance with its charter.
This morning Department of Foreign Affairs spokesman Ronnie Mamoepa confirmed that South Africa would not be hosting the conference. However, he said, "I don't think that we ever offered".

UN Watch executive director Hillel Neuer said the organisation welcomed the apparent turnaround, saying that the group had been "alarmed" that the conference, dubbed Durban 2, would be hosted in South Africa again.
"The expected adoption of a controlled UN headquarters as the venue, be it Geneva, Paris or Vienna, is something we fought for, as one of many necessary steps to prevent a repeat of the ugly street scenes of Durban in 2001," said Neuer.
At the last conference in 2001, emotions ran high when US and Israeli delegates walked out of the conference charging that the gathering had an "anti-Israel bias".
At the time, then US secretary of state Colin Powell, who had stayed away from the conference, said the draft declaration contained "hateful language".
According to UN Watch, earlier this year Mbeki told Parliament that South Africa would "play host to the review conference to evaluate the implementation of the decisions of the World Conference Against Racism".
