I have heard that Archbishop Tutu is also calling attention to China's human rights policies and its relationship to the Olympics.<BR/><BR/>I have been a little disappointed in Tutu since I watched him do an advert for Absa Bank here in SAfrica. Absa Bank is owned by Barclays Bank who were financiers of the slave trade. A fact they want the world to forget.<BR/><BR/>Tutu should know better. There is no place for a man of his stature being so blatantly ignorant, or dismissive, of the slavery past.<BR/><BR/>Also, why would he sell his image and reputation to Absa.<BR/><BR/>I guess "we live in a moral" and capitalist universe too.<BR/><BR/>Be well Dione,<BR/>RidwanRidwanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16758153484699728802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36009958.post-84246213017671179462008-04-12T02:49:00.000+02:002008-04-12T02:49:00.000+02:00It is really good of her to stand up for what she ...It is really good of her to stand up for what she believes in. It probably wasn't the easiest thing either. We can see she is deserving of her nobel peace prize for sure; as she continues to set a good example.Dionehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12222683660501833114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36009958.post-20087676027765318402008-04-11T21:33:00.001+02:002008-04-11T21:33:00.001+02:00Thanks for looking in Angryindian.Peace brother,Ri...Thanks for looking in Angryindian.<BR/><BR/>Peace brother,<BR/>RidwanRidwanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16758153484699728802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36009958.post-90258048870698254612008-04-11T21:26:00.000+02:002008-04-11T21:26:00.000+02:00Good one.Good one.TheAngryindianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03461260845144835238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36009958.post-65845522835568683342008-04-11T20:02:00.000+02:002008-04-11T20:02:00.000+02:00Shushli I watched a little of the live coverage an...Shushli I watched a little of the live coverage and was frustrated by the manner that the IOC and police hid the flame.<BR/><BR/>Still, it was wonderful to see the folks who came out to raise their voices for human rights.<BR/><BR/>Peace sista,<BR/>RidwanRidwanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16758153484699728802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36009958.post-33418231364499572002008-04-11T17:42:00.000+02:002008-04-11T17:42:00.000+02:00I applaud Wangari Maathai for this stand!What did ...I applaud Wangari Maathai for this stand!<BR/><BR/>What did you think of the mayhem the protesters in San Francisco raised as the torch came through there?Shus lihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15542421349158923239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36009958.post-52443337052433240712008-04-10T23:02:00.000+02:002008-04-10T23:02:00.000+02:00No doubt brother Dade, no doubt for sure!Peace,Rid...No doubt brother Dade, no doubt for sure!<BR/><BR/>Peace,<BR/>RidwanRidwanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16758153484699728802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36009958.post-25204866623334653572008-04-10T22:57:00.000+02:002008-04-10T22:57:00.000+02:00Good for Wangari!Good for Wangari!Dade Cariagahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13431049944346345893noreply@blogger.com
