Don't get upset - There are no jews either...

Again, political correctness at its worse..
A bold plan by Irish rocker-turned-activist
Bob Geldof for multi-city concerts to combat poverty in Africa ran into flak when it became clear how few black artists are involved.

With the arguable exception of Mariah Carey, none of the headliners for the centrepiece Live8: The Long Walk to Justice concert at Hyde Park in London on July 2 are black, let alone African.

It's a bit better elsewhere, with Senegalese superstar Youssou N'Dour and British soulman Craig David on the bill in Paris, former Fugee Lauryn Hill in Berlin, and rapper 50 Cent and the legendary Stevie Wonder in Philadelphia.

"It's disappointing, to say the least," said Justin Onyeka, entertainment editor of the New Nation, a weekly newspaper in London that serves Britain's black community.
Shouldn't they be ecstatic that Bob Geldoff is doing something for Africa???
