what in the "jim crow" hell is goin on in china???

jj blogging...

ok, i'll admit that i have only heard a little bit about this, so please feel free to comment and correct me if i'm wrong...

the 2008 summer olympics are in beijing and supossedly local business are refusing to serve black athletes and fans that will be in town for the festivities. **blank stare**

there are so many things wrong wit this situation, the first being the obvious racial discrimination (again, not sure if the story is true. imma try and find the article that i heard referenced and post that info. i am by no definition a journalist, but i want to provide facts and information, not just my opinion).

i always thought asian people both overseas and in the states were really into the hip hop culture, so how could they not like black people? and if its one situation that black people are the most accepted i would think that its sports and thats why i'm confused.

u will see this topic as an ongoing post because i have got to do research and find out more information about this. if it is true, i am especially interested in what black olympians have to say about this. i know many black athletes do not have the mindset that tommie smith and john carlos had back in mexico city in '68 (<-- and if you dont know what this is about, google it) but someone has got to speak out against this.
