By John Gibson
Host, the “John Gibson Radio Show”
Two weeks ago when black South Africans rioted against job losses to illegal immigrants, burning and beating to death more than 20, the United Nations special reporter on racism and xenophobia announced he was “saddened” by the violence, especially because it was happening in a country which “has liberated itself by fighting institutional racism.”
In reporting the remarks of Mr. Doudou Diene of Senegal, who works for the U.N.
