"BRIDGETOWN, Oct 2 (AP) -- Delegates at an anti-racism conference voted
Wednesday to expel non-blacks from the meeting"

BWAHAHAHA!  You're at an anti-racism conference, and you vote to expel people
based on race.  That's certainly a great move to build credibility.

"...Jean Violet Baptiste, spokeswoman for the Guyana-based African Cultural and
Development Association, said organizers should have made clear that only
blacks were welcome: "You can't have people come all this way and then ask them
to leave." "

A voice of reason.

"A major issue at the meeting is a plan by black activists from the Caribbean
and North America to sue France for making Haiti pay millions of dollars for
recognition of its independence nearly two centuries ago."

And they think they will help Haiti's case by making sure that their
organization has no white or Asian members and no white or Asian person is
allowed to speak or act in support of this plan?

Peace and love,
