I am sorry, but you'll have to stop posting stories like this. The US media won't print them and the international media shouldn't either. The media agenda is to continue to present the plight of blacks in America and to vigorously support the claims of the black thugs and shysters for reparations.

The media position is undermined by evry story like this that fails to paint modern day Africa as a paradise. Look at all the stories about Cuba. It is a paradise on earth, sure, a little short on luxuries, but none-the-less, Fidelito's paradise for all who dwell therein.

Stories about Africa should follow the same track. We must urge that the descendants in America whose ancestors were stolen by Republicans are far worse off than they would have been had their ancestors not have been taken. These stories that describe the savagry, poverty, disease and inhumanity in the Africa of today, it could be argued, make the situation of blacks in America seem, well, much better. That is not in the agenda of the American media.

Comparing the movement for reparations for slavery in this country to what's going on in Congo is ludicrous. The two issues have nothing to do with each other.
