Libyan rebels & racial profiling
Quote:In rebel-run Tripoli, people with dark skin — even Libyans — are at risk because Gadhafi is known to have recruited soldiers from sub-Saharan Africa.
"Every black is a target," said Tony Biney, the Ghanaian teacher, who stayed home with his wife for two weeks before risking a trip to church.
There have been widespread arrests and frequent abuse of migrant workers since the rebels seized Tripoli late last month, Human Rights Watch said Sunday, but did not give an estimate of the number of detainees. The group said the clampdown created "a grave sense of fear among the city's African population."

Anyone else find just a touch of irony in the fact that the rebels, backed by the Nobel Peace prize winning "post-racial" Prez who carried 97% of the black vote, are now committing racial profiling against black Africans?
