Regressing Human Rights in Developed World- 2012 US Elections


There remains a perpetual threat to human rights; the propaganda has always associated repressed human rights with developing third world countries where promoting cultural and religious practices have often been defined automatically as a hindrance to human rights implementation and an antithesis to democracy and civilized society.

However, there looms a huge threat because developed nations work under the illusion that they belong to a free world where freedom to citizens is a given. How so untrue! This illusion has engendered a lethargy that induces sleep and creates an environment where peoples relinquishes basic human rights.

So much for freedom! United States of America- Our often exalted land of freedom used for comparison especially by civil society organizations worldwide. Here in this land that fought so hard for civil rights and women endured so much for equal rights and blacks died just to be counted as ONE human been. Now racism has been built up so much that it knows no boundary that even The number one citizen is not spared. Women are held within the death grip of fear that the clock is about to reset and Bermuda Triangle phenomenon set to unleash on the female gender. 

Of course the 21st century discrimination is worst than what was in operation 50years ago because this is not just directed at blacks and Indians, it has no basis nor does it have a tangible tangent from which the arrows are thrown. Discrimination is now about an unknown feeling of fear to accommodate that we cannot define, are uncomfortable around, do not understand, and is just not us. 

So sad, but I do hope that the American citizens now comprehend the fact that their world is unsafe, and the developing nations are not the only ones in need of salvation. The 2012 elections is a great opportunity for learning about the need for constant vigilante on human rights while the economic recession teaches us that economic and social rights are not the definition of socialism and communism. America and Americans are in need of this crucial education.

Please Help.
