Here’s a pretty interesting Afro-centric documentary on the history of my people, the Nubians and the forgotten civilization they built, one which at one point in time ruled Nubia and all of Egypt under the Nubian Pharaoh Taharqa, (who is mentioned in the Bible by the way). I found it by complete accident on YouTube and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I highly recommend you watch it and learn something about a civilization that is only recently starting to gain the recognition it deserves.

Great list, must have taken that funky ghetto hijabi girl (with an interesting story, and probably confused identity) ages to put together. Although it would have been better with some links included but I trust her anyways.
Smallville’s Lana Lang is the HOTTEST, followed by Lisa Ray at number 15! (if you’ve been too busy living on Mars, Lana Lang is number 25 in the list in case you’re wondering). Nicole of the Pussycat Dolls is too damn slutty. Meanwhile, Halle Berry is getting too old.
There are all kinds of awesome, delicious mixes on that list including Ethiopian Irish. I bet at least 20% of those people grew up with some big identity crisis issues.
And hey, did you know Heroe’s Nathan Petrelli is half Iranian, half German? Boycott the freaking show! Say NO to evil Iranians, all of them, starting with beloved Ahmadmidgetnejad!
The new peace envoy is expected to be based in Khartoum something the US said “will facilitate continual interaction with all parties”.
“We call on all parties and regional actors to fully cooperate with Mr. Bassole, cease hostilities, and engage without condition in efforts to achieve a lasting peace for Darfur” the State Department said.
The prospects for a quick return to the negotiation table in Darfur appear slim, observers say particularly after an attack by the Darfur Justice and Equality Movement (JEM) on the Sudanese capital.
Khartoum said it will not negotiate with JEM and urged the world to designate it as a terrorist organization.
Man, where do I start? How about, that last hilarious sentence? Ah, never mind.
Yes, JEM is a stupid “terrorist” organization. On top of that, we have a regime that has no proper respect for agreements. Plus, we also have someone by the name of Abdul Wahid Al-Nur heading his Darfur rebel faction from the comfort of his residence in Paris and claiming that the only way forward is to eradicate the current government.
Thank you Dick Cheney, Rumsfailed, Iran and Saudi Arab for ruining Iraq and diverting the Bush administration’s attention away from Sudan. Oh and congratulations dear President Omar al-Bashir and head of Sudanese Intelligence, Salah Gosh for managing to ease America’s pressure on you by handing out the CIA some valuable anti-terrorism candy and helping it heavily by planting spys in Iraq and Somalia. Nicely played guys, nicely played.
Yeah, seriously Mr. Darfur Mediator GOOD luck, you’re really going to need it!
