obama now refuses to talk about reperations for african nations. complaining about the complaining of israel's racism is an excuse. america does not want to admit it is a racist nation with racist heros on its money. we are all in on it.
america is the most racist naion on earth, not israel!

Naomi Klein on "Minority Death Match: Jews, Blacks and the 'Post-Racial' Presidency"
We speak with journalist Naomi Klein about her latest article for Harper’s Magazine, "Minority Death Match: Jews, Blacks and the ‘Post-Racial’ Presidency." The piece examines the World Conference Against Racism that was held in Geneva this past April, a follow-up to the first racism conference in Durban, South Africa in 2001. There was a major boycott with the Obama administration refusing to attend, claiming the conference would unfairly target Israel. Critics say the controversy over Israel could have been an excuse to avoid dealing with the conference’s key issues, including addressing the legacy of slavery.
