Imagine for a moment if a White political leader in Britain called a black musical lineup “Hideously Black.” Under the draconian British “Hate Laws,” Nick Griffin of the British National Party is facing up to seven years in prison for simply criticizing Islam in a private gathering. Free speech is dead in Britain, but obviously open disparagement and hatred against White people is alive and well. –dd
From a BBC Report —
Superstar Mariah Carey is almost the only ethnic minority performer at Hyde Park on 2 July, one of five global Live 8 concerts that day.
London-based group Black Information Link said organisers had “handpicked a virtually all-white line-up”.
But a Live 8 spokesman said: “Bob Geldof approached a number of urban and black artists to participate.”
He added a number were busy with other projects and commitments.
