Oh The Unintended Irony Of North Korea

North Korea released earlier this week a list of human rights abuses in the United States. For reasons only known to the countries leadership they somehow missed the irony in releasing the list.  While some of the facts are accurate it seems just a tad bit disingenuous to publish a list of abuses when the United Nations Human Rights Commission compared the abuses taking place in that country to Nazi War Crimes from World War II.

     On Wednesday, KCNA released an article titled "News Analysis on Poor Human Rights Records in U.S." It brought up a number of points, including racial discrimination, unemployment, surveillance and poverty. "The U.S. is the world's worst human right abuser and tundra of a human being's rights to existence," the essay concludes.
So what is the U.S. actually doing wrong? Here are the key points from the criticism:

"Under the citizenship act, racialism is getting more severe in the U.S. The gaps between the minorities and the whites are very wide in the exercise of such rights to work and elect."

"The U.S. true colors as a kingdom of racial discrimination was fully revealed by last year's case that the Florida Court gave a verdict of not guilty to a white policeman who shot to death an innocent black boy."

"That's why 52 percent of the Americans have said that racism still exists in the country while 46 percent contended that all sorts of discrimination would be everlasting." 

"The U.S. is a living hell as elementary rights to existence are ruthlessly violated." 

"At present, an average of 300,000 people a week are registered as unemployed, but any proper measure has not been taken." 

"The housing price soared 11.5 percent last year than 2012 and 13.2 percent in January this year than 2013, leaving many people homeless." 

"The number of impoverished people increased to 46.5 millions last year, and one sixth of the citizens and 20-odd percent of the children are in the grip of famine in New York City." 

"All sorts of crimes rampant in the U.S. pose a serious threat to the people's rights to existence and their inviolable rights."

"The U.S. government has monitored every movement of its citizens and foreigners, with many cameras and tapping devices and even drones involved, under the pretext of 'national security.'"

"Meanwhile, bills on easing arms control were adopted in various states of the country, boosting murderous crimes. As a result, the U.S. has witnessed an increasing number of gun-related crimes in all parts of the country and even its military bases this year. In this regard, the United Nations on April 10 put the U.S. on the top of the world list of homicide rates."

"The U.S. also has 2.2 millions of prisoners at present, the highest number in the world. For lack of prisons on the part of the government, individuals are providing detention facilities to make money." 

"A Russian TV said that in the U.S. the wealthy classes are now keen on the investment in providing private prisons for their high profit and so more people will be imprisoned."

"Its chief executive, Obama, indulges himself in luxury almost every day, squandering hundred millions of dollars on his foreign trip in disregard of his people's wretched life."
