World Cup 2010: Italian press bemoans 'shameful' exit
Africa, according to Oxfam, "captures only one per cent of world trade [and] risks even further losses, despite promises of a 'development round' of trade negotiations". In the words of the unlamented Muammar Gaddafi "hordes will come to the shores of Europe in their thousands braving death", suggesting that no one can stop them. How long will it take to understand that the masses robbed of their birthright eventually become a burden to the greedy?

A famous Chinese proverb says "one white covers up a defects". But African students on educational scholarships in China have not succeeded in covering themselves in enough white, and blind racism continues to be their bane. Lou Jing, a pop star of African American and Chinese descent, has endured so much rejection in Shanghai that she has not hidden her wish to leave China and continue her education outside Asia.

But the Chinese can't do or say certain things without African allies. The regime in Addis Ababa, for instance, it seems, has given the Chinese the right to physically beat all "lazy Ethiopian workers". And so it has come to pass that the Chinese have left no stone unturned, exhibiting such crude and foul racism that conjures up memories of apartheid and colonialism.
Asked about her views on racism in Italy, a Portuguese woman who once lived in the country had the following to say:.

Italian racism, to repeat the Vatican's statement, is a "sore" that is not done justice with the recycled question: As Cecile Kyenge said, all Italians are not racists. But how do we arrest racists and ignoramuses around the world from causing black people so much grief? Although hurt, the good lady has held her head high and declared with dignity: At the same time she has tried to make excuses for her "ignorant" Italian abusers.

Posted on Monday, 20 May Mussolini's hordes killed as much as they interbred in Ethiopia. Recent economics have seen Africa open to another wave of racism from China. A relationship between a Chinese and an African are simply branded as an "obnoxious novelty".
