- Africa: Nkrumah 50 Years On - Africa Must Unite
  Posted by Shemuses from All Africa
  Fifty years ago, Ghana became the first African country to gain independence from a colonial power, on 6 March 1957, and its new leader declared: "Ghana's independence is meaningless unless it is linked with the total liberation of Africa". later adding "and with the projection of the African personality in the international community."

- Mauritania: Fair Elections Haunted By Racial Imbalance
  Posted by Shemuses from All Africa
  Unlike the three previous elections won by former military leader Maaouya Ould Sid Ahmed Taya, this one is likely to be fair. But whether a fairer electoral process will make Mauritania a fairer society, is still far from clear. Certainly the racial make up of the political elite remains unchanged. The list of candidates is skewed in favour of light-skin Moors in a country where the majority of people are black...

  Posted by Shemuses from Alternet
  Apologizing is more than a matter of morals. It's a recognition that this country protected, nourished and profited off of slavery for a century.

  Posted by Shemuses from Globe and Mail
  Meeting on the grounds of the former Confederate Capitol, the Virginia General Assembly voted unanimously Saturday to express “profound regret” for the state's role in slavery.

Congress's Apology for Slavery Is a Good Thing—It's Just Not Enough

Agreed. Now that the apology has been made all can be forgiven and everyone should be happy. Lets get on with life.
BTW – Slavery wasn’t "just the evil doings of greedy Southern planters." Slavery was a 5,000 year old institution practiced all over the world (and still is in places.) Perhaps apologies should be demanded from a few of those places?

Yes, good to know that our Congress is focused on such important issues while they completely ignore stupid things like the cost of energy.

Obama T-Shirt Sparks Assault, Lawsuit
$69 bucks for a T-Shirt with those words? And she's the one who's suing? This is just stupid.

Well if she bought the shirt she obviously was intending to antagonize people. I don't know what she expected would happen.

States Fail to Offer Voter Registration to Millions of Low-Income Voters

Another rich against the poor propaganda piece. I am poor and I am registered to vote. And I’m in Florida.
If you can’t figure out how to register, you are too stupid to vote.

Well, it's not entirely un-true from a NON-RACIAL standpoint. Obama is as much a 'slave' to what he thinks people want of him as Clinton was (public opinion - he thinks people want 'change,' even if he isn't entirely sure what that change is. Unless maybe it's his mind, which he's shown is quite quick to change!). He's really not an independent entity, except when it comes to things like abortion, where he goes beyond what even many pro-choice supporters are comfortable with, voting against the right of children who SURVIVE abortion to live. In-cred-i-ble.

Blacks Banned from Bars in Beijing?

Whether this story is real or not (and I am suspecting that it is not based upon fact) there actually is an issue with expat Nigerians in SE Asia who have made themselves, as a group, very, very unwelcome.
