On the Chicago Tribune website, people made racist comments with their facebook accounts about how she's right and all of that. I wanted to respond to those racist clowns but can't because I don't have a facebook account. Nor will I ever have one either. In 2012, it amazes me that racist is damn near as strong as it was in the 60's and 70's. "They" have to understand that Blacks, hispanics, etc aren't going any where. Period.

furthermore whites around the world can keep on thinking that blacks are the inferior race the whole history of man in it's entirety has proven this is just a myth that serves only them . the truth is that no matter what they think the blackman's history is longer and more substantial than they can ever prove to be insignificant .without black history there is no history including white history period !!

Those athletes weren't aligning themselves with people who advocated genocide for all Europeans. That's what this girl was doing.
The other commenters here are correct. You dullards run to support anyone who's Euro and called racist. We African Americans know racism. We don't use the term lightly. And those of us who use it often only do so because very many non-Africans (and some Africans, for that matter) are in fact racist, even (especially?) those who claim loudly that they aren't. African Americans understand that the consequences of allowing racist degeneracy to go unremarked and unchecked are far greater than the consequences of hurting your feelings.
So f**k your feelings, your 'freespeech' bulls**t, and your adolescent logic. The girl is racist, and so are you.

The salute was to acknowledge/protest the human right's atrocities that took place during the Civil Rights Era and beyond. A simple Google search would of told you that.

There's been a resurgence of nazi and other rightwing groups in Greece over the last few years. It's been propelled by the Greek market depression. They used nationalist and xenophobic platforms largely targeting African immigrants to make large gains in recent Greek elections. Some Golden Dawn groups openly called for a kristallnacht for gypsies, Africans, and other foreigners. That's the context for this girl's tweet, and it's the reason the Greek olympic committee removed her. To any Greek reading her tweet, she was unambiguously aligning herself with Golden Dawn.
Greek politics has been all over the international press for months now. I don't expect the Euro mouth-breathers NewsOne allows to comment here to be up on finance news, or commonsense for that matter, so their missing the context here and claiming 'this isn't racist!' isn't surprising. But Paul Shepherd and News One, what's your excuse? You're reporters, so you must read the news, right? The only context you could think of for this story is from four decades ago, but you totally miss the obvious context from four weeks ago?

Well at least we can all agree that "West Nile" Means African black people.
The white people have finally admitted to it!
West Nile Culture is an African Black Culture. The Kemetic (Egyptian) Culture is a Black African Culture.

DCBlackman, You are so right. whites can never admit that they are racist, and that they, as a group, have been racist for many hundreds of years

And it still surprises me that so many people dont think that white women are racist, Ive even seen comments made about this on other forums that white women arent racist-I think they are more racist than white men because white men are usually more vocal about their racism but white women are more silent about their racism they try to hide it more, even when it comes to dating Black men-I can say from my experience with racism is that Ive always had more white women to be racist towards me than I have had white men
