Ever since the International Criminal Court was founded 6 years ago, it has only laid charges against black men.
Whilst Africa certainly has seen a large share of conflict, the past 6 years have also seen many conflicts involving tens of thousands of civilians deaths in regions that include Gaza, Georgia, Iraq, and Afghanistan.
Nonetheless, not a single non-black person has been charged by the court. Does this represent a willing or subconscious form of racism? Is the court's decisions on where to act affected by a colonial-era mentality where there are different standards for blacks and non-blacks? Or is the ICC bound by political sensitivities to only act against countries with little political influence?
Discuss.
I don't think its Racist
Its just that the bulk of today's genocide occurs in Africa
Afghanistan, Iraq, Georgia and Gaza are wars........
Whats happening in Darfur is ethnic cleansing of Sudan of its entire Black population
That has not occurred in either Afghanistan, Iraq, Georgia or Gaza
