 U.S. hardline on reparations is
about
more than just the money
(FinalCall.com)--The United States government�s opposition to discussion
of reparations�let alone possible inclusion of reparations on the agenda
of the UN World Conference Against Racism�is rooted in its inability to
recognize the humanity of Black people, say activists, experts and
politicians. Concern about even talk of reparations in an international
forum has sparked possible U.S. withdrawal from the racism conference.
In interviews, reparations advocates said discussions, including whether
slavery should be defined as a crime against humanity, foreshadow
shifting a balance of power in the world and advance the global status
of Black people.

 The
Birth of a New Nation: The United States of Africa

800 million people. Africa with its strategic national resources which
includes oil, gas, diamonds, gold, magnesium, chromium, platinum, silver
and other minerals would become a leader in the world. The western
powers, both Europe and America, never desired to see Africa as one
nation or united. Now, with the coming of the OAU Conference in Lusaka,
Zambia, there is the possibility of the emergence of the United States
of Africa.
