It seems that racism exists everywhere, including the United Kingdom, where the Olympic games are set to be held this year. The Voice, Britain’s oldest black newspaper, has been banned from covering the Olympics, having their application denied. It appears that the struggles of black journalists overseas are not much different than the challenges here in the US, where black journalists can’t even get in on sessions with the first black president.
This is a sad state of affairs and makes all of us reconsider just how loyal we are going to be to the country that won’t even let black journalists in Britain do their jobs. KultureKritic.com tells more:
Decision makers at the Olympics don’t mind if black people compete in the Olympics, but apparently they’re not too keen on black people covering the games.
This is the conclusion many have reached after Britain’s longest serving black newspaper, The Voice, was not granted permission to cover the Olympics.
Last week, the 30 year old newspaper published an article outlining how the British Olympics Association (BOA) had told them their application to cover the games had been unsuccessful.

Racism seems to be a globe ‘terminal cancer’ and so the globe should get ready to perish like fools!

These racist demons/devils are all over the world spreading their hate toward Black people.
You have all those Black athletes, who are in the race and who will be spectators, BUT they have no Black media to rely on, to read at the games!
It’s amazing how Blacks can run, dunk, and catch a football, but when it comes to justice WE ARE ON THE BACK BURNER!
If I was in London, I WOULD BOYCOTT ALL yankee newspapers, concession stands, restaurants and other outlets because these yankees only want our money, but they don’t want us to make money!
WAKE UP BLACK FOLKS, RACISM IS ALIVE AND WELL AROUND THIS RACIST GLOBE!!!

You couldn’t sensationalize this anymore could you? We all know their are TONS of people of ALL COLORS working the games including, black people, working for various media outlets.
The olympic committee obviously see’s no color, unlike a “black” newspaper.
