I remember Guido Sohne of Africa

By Rab Bakari • Jun 3rd, 2008 • Category: Africa, Lead Story

Guido Sohne
I learned some few weeks ago that my friend passed away in Nairobi. I wanted to post; especially after reading fellow NewsVine posts. But I had to wait until the funeral date was set before I posted my tribute. I couldn’t believe it! But it all makes sense now. On May 8th; I [...]

Ahhh the fabrics of America! - Racism prevails!

By Rab Bakari • May 13th, 2008 • Category: Lead Story, Politics & Culture

I always thought of Racism as a blind; unexplainable feeling. Sort of like love. If you ask someone (well.. a perceived European descendant) why they hate a Black person (a perceived African descendant); you’ll never, ever get a straight answer. These fibers bind the USA into what it is.
This political season in the 21st century [...]

People say that you can’t be stunting in front of people living in poverty. This is a misconception about Africa. Actually; the one who snatched his cable probably came from a upper class neighborhood in Luanda such as Luanda Sul. These chain snatchers [...]
