White supremacy a 'transnational threat', U.N. chief warns
2021-02-22
GENEVA (Reuters) - United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres warned on Monday that white supremacy and neo-Nazi movements are becoming a "transnational threat" and have exploited the coronavirus pandemic to boost their support.

Addressing the U.N. Human Rights Council, Guterres said the danger of hate-driven groups was growing daily.

"White supremacy and neo-Nazi movements are more than domestic terror threats. They are becoming a transnational threat," he told the Geneva forum. Without naming states, Guterres added: "Today, these extremist movements represent the number one internal security threat in several countries."

In the United States, racial tensions simmered during the turbulent four-year presidency of Donald Trump. His successor Joe Biden has said the Jan. 6 siege of the U.S. Capitol by Trump supporters was carried out by "thugs, insurrectionists, political extremists and white supremacists".

"Far too often, these hate groups are cheered on by people in positions of responsibility in ways that were considered unimaginable not long ago," Guterres said. "We need global coordinated action to defeat this grave and growing danger."

#10  If white supremacy truly is gaining steam perhaps its because folks have begun refereeing to whites as the cause of all of the worlds problems and in some cases suggested genocide or similar as a solution without a peep from the UN.

#8  The UN is an "adult day car center" for the losers in 3rd world kleptocracies. They couldn't "win"
at home so they sent them to the UN to steal what they could there.

#5  United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres is Portuguese. Therefore European. Therefore white.

Now would be a very good time for him to take a step back and shut up.

#4  The UN is a transnational progressivist threat to the United States and most of the world. The pygmies in the UN aspire to be a world government. UN out of the USA.

#3  Has anyone produced an actual (non-circular) definition of "white supremacy"? All I've heard so far is it's a loosely defined much of "everything Marxists don't like".

#1  White supremacy aka western civilization certainly demonstrated it's 'threat' when it conquers most of the world in the 18th-19th century. You want to give up the science, medicine, technology and institutions you've appropriated since? Nearly every place it was adopted, life expectancy increased.
