The UN Special Rapporteur on Racism delivered his report today --and he didn't mince his words, "Racism and racial discrimination have profoundly and lastingly marked and structured American society. The US has made decisive progress... However, the historical cultural and human depth of racism still permeate all dimensions of life and American society." Joining us to discuss are Craig Mokhiber, Deputy Director of the New York Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, Chandra Bhatnagar, Staff Attorney with the Human Rights Program, American Civil Liberties Union, Damon Hewitt, Assistant Council, NAACP Legal Defense & Education Fund and Kali Akuno, Director of Human Rights Education, U.S. Human Rights Network.
