Reply #36: Why are you bringing this up now?

Everyone knows that conference turned out to be a mess. I find your timing late and pointed.

Frankly, when we realize after the fact, that not only would president Obama have met Hugo Chavez, he would have also had to deal with Ahmadinejad, that's one too many controversial leaders for one time period in an historical presidency. I'm very glad he didn't attend.

As for the conference itself, I would like honest open debate about racism but apparently this one was felt to have an agenda, singling out one particular country, instead of racism worldwide.

Do you feel there is only one kind of racism and that piling on one country while ignoring the racism of others is helpful or even realistic?
