Racial divide

Throughout my life, I have experienced racial discrimination almost on daily basis. I am a Black African Muslim, born in Sokode in the state of Togo, which is located in the region southwest of the Sahara desert. My family moved to Ghana in 1974. Since I left Ghana in 1987, I have lived in Saudi Arabia, Germany, and Canada. In every one of these countries I have found that racism isn't perpetuated by whites alone-all races are guilty. I have also found that some global events tend to propel... Read Full Story

Make no bones about it, these Muslims would complain that you made a racist statement if you said that they had nice brown eyes. However it is nice to see the wishy washy liberals of the Tri-Axis get hoist by their own petard. It seems another Cambridge Councillor is about to bite the dust after tangling with super sensitive Muslims. Despite the councillors groveling apology we all know what the end of the road will be. It is time we had British National Party Councillors who will tell... Read Full Story

I have a friend and his name is Marc. He has a knack for posing probative questions that challenge me to do some healthy self-introspection. Recently, his question was, if I could choose to change either my race or gender, which would it be? I couldn’t make a choice. Yesterday, he posted a comment to my entry on Senator Obama’s speech on race in America: Eventually, Obama is going to show some flaws, and I want to make sure we don’t put him too high on a pedestal ,that we punish him for...

Today I felt pride and hope in the possibilities of these United States of America. The elephant that has not only been in the room, but sitting on top of us, has finally been revealed and we are stronger for it. Without guile, Senator Barack Obama talked openly about the progeny of a nation conceived in liberty and yet mired in the most heinous of institutions–slavery. Sen. Obama identified that progeny–racism, Jim Crow laws, discrimination, black anger, and white anger, and the world did... Read Full Story

Malaysia is just about to be 5o years old and it is too much to expect the major racial components be close to each other in such a short time. From the Christian era we have heard the term “Love your neighbor as yourself” (Mark 12:31). It was an ironic statement, for in that society no man loved his neighbor, but distrusted him heartily. In terms of time evolution, mankind had come to the point where it delighted so in distinctions and differences amongst the different races, those even... Read Full Story

The head of the United States Coast guard vigorously denounced examples of racial bigotry that were discovered this summer at the US Coast Guard Academy and on west coast bases. Allen made it clear to everyone that “anybody that is involved in putting symbols of racism in anybody’s workplace or personal equipment, in my view, that is conduct unbecoming to an officer.” Although these incidents occurred the past summer, the Coast Guard made no announcement and it was not until newspaper and...
