Ambassador to the United Nations Linda Thomas-Greenfield told an activist group on Wednesday that “white supremacy” is woven into the U.S. founding documents.


“I have seen for myself how the original sin of slavery weaved white supremacy into our founding documents and principles,” Thomas-Greenfield told the National Action Network (NAN), an activist organization founded by Reverend Al Sharpton. Thomas-Greenfield also explained to the group that the U.S. is seeking election to the UN Human Rights Council (HRC), but would have to do so with “humility.”
