	BINGO, kumar. DICK !!!!!   tracy.

don't take this seriously. but take the following seriously.

Where ever the blacks are and however high they go, there is always racism against blacks. Even within their own religion. Talk to some of the black moslems or read some newsletters. 
The foreign policy of the developed nations also is testimony to this.

take the U.S. lottery.
france, germany, sweden, U.K., canada, australia, portugal, ........ all qualify (since they are bastions of the last white race). But not, kenya, tanzania, ghana, somalia, ethiopia... WHY NOT. simply put, they are blacks.
India and other orientals did not qualify since there are many of them here. In the same vein germany....qualified. O.K., makes sense. kenya, tanzania... did not qualify because there are many BLACKS here. !!!!!!!!!!!!! yes, many BLACKS here. how many kenyans are here, how many eritreans, ethiopians, tanzanians.... are here. 
	all people of these nationalities are called just BLACKS and not kenyans....
I don't know how ivory coast, and two or three more african nations qualified.  To show that african countries are represented.????

Many discriminate against blacks. It's nothing new but NEEDS TO BE CHANGED. It's just the tip.
	Take the Indians themselves. MANY indians are racist. especially against blacks. many talk differently to whites and differently to blacks. They try to please the whites and be accepted into their circle while the treatment towards blacks is !!!!!!!
even in the movies they don't want a black and an indian girl to be paired, sleep in the same bed, or kiss. remember mississippi masala. we trade names - remember kalle, kaka, karpen. for a person whose one parent is white and the other black, remember cocktail, mullatoe, zebra, chessboard, crossbreed. I used the word black because i talked with a couple of blacks and they said they didn't being refered to as blacks. though this may not be true for a majority. they prefer african americans. 
	give An honest answer ??? how many guys would like to date a black girl. and how many prefer white. how many prefer to be seen dating a white girl and how many with a black girl.

while refering to us indians I mean many of us. I know many indians don't like to discuss race issues since they feel they will be in trouble. If you don't heal now only fire can cure the decay. (read between the lines- not literally)
If we can't come to grips with reality, then the day will come when we will be under the grip reality. remember L.A. can we all live together-rodney king. we can and we should try.

all the above opinions are mine and mine only and I have not been influenced by anybody living or dead or halfdead nor has an offer been made to me that I couldn't refuse.
