Flying While Black - Extreme Addition
Now, while I am fairly sure that Terrorists/War Criminals such as McCain, Powell, Kissinger, Liddy, Shiron have no problems flying about, I am sure that this proves some sort of point that George II's regime doesn't really want to confront right now.
WASHINGTON — Nobel Peace Prize winner and international symbol of freedom Nelson Mandela is flagged on U.S. terrorist watch lists and needs special permission to visit the USA. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice calls the situation "embarrassing," and some members of Congress vow to fix it.The requirement applies to former South African leader Mandela and other members of South Africa's governing African National Congress (ANC), the once-banned anti-Apartheid organization. In the 1970s and '80s, the ANC was officially designated a terrorist group by the country's ruling white minority. Other countries, including the United States, followed suit.
No.
Embarrassing was designating the ANC a terrorist organization in the first place.
Embarrassing was supporting the U.S.A. against the majority of its population.
Embarrassing was the Regan Regime’s drive to keep folks from divesting in the U.S.A.’s white corporate/Apartheid structure.
Embarrassing was the United States support of the Bantustans in the U.S.A.
Embarrassing was Regan’s Veto of even Limited Sanctions.
So no, that poor Condi has to deal with the consequences of our Racist Past is not Embarrassing, it is Justice.
So, I think I am going to write yet another useless letter to the Sen. Salazar (D-Pro Wiretapping) to ask him to vote against, yes against taking the ANC off of the Terrorist watch list since it is the perfect example of the U.S.'s stupid foreign policy in regards to people trying to overthrow U.S. backed totalitarian governments.
