Ya right...We'll neva know de truth by guessing, it could very well be a coincidence that these blacks were fired... coz they are not the only blacks in CNN and they are definitely not the first to get fired, some whites must also have been fired... But come oh, how can U guys even still be talking about RACISM, when our very own BARAK OBAMA is vying for president, and he has a huge number of whites ready and willing to vote for him? his Vice is even a white guy and he beat a white person to get to where he is, Ah guys please forget about racism, not anymore in America... CHEERS ...

i think wit the word racism was death since wen the year they call it off all i know tas goin on here its racism but envy and jealous .... great one ...in tat matter they all know tat we blacks (africans) are gifted and gat a strong talent by which if we should have the opportunity of developin it as they do we will be the greatest of all ... tas their fear cos i have noticed all the while but some call tat racism but its not ... they are usin tat word just to cover up the evil deeds... is it a must tat wat happened in the passed years will never stop or will be in the blood of all ... so anyone who tells u racism is the cause f**k up tat xsons mouth and trust me wen u succeed in watever tat is den u will now see the reason y they were actin tat cos they will now come out and face u by tellin u the why and how will u come to their place and surpass dem in wat they were doin for all their yrs of life..

First Post here, among many to come. I think the use of racism to describe Femi's victimization might be both fair and unfair. One thing is we are not sure what circumstances led to her sack, then we might want to debacle on why She got another instant appointment in Abuja, seem like there are great legs tho. Well, baring my mind, i dont believe there really exists anything like racism, simply because you cannot devalue somebody thats got more potentials than yourself. That means, you can only attack the physical but not the mind. Unless the attackee endears his or her mind on the physical and material, then the mind becomes vulnerable. the person in question is doing great now, someone Tell her to do something more for the immediate community she is in or I'll start the use of my canes...Talk to y'all soon
I want to be remembered for making others happy, touching lives for positivity and making the headlines for being JUST Me

I don't think RACISM can ever end
but i think the racism down here in UK is worst than tht of US.sumtimes u just wonder if this ppl hv got heart.
Elaborate Onyin. I have always wondered if blacks in the UK even experience racism. I know it can be a classist society, but I didn't think the UK was as racist as the US. Why do you say it's worse?

Considering the fact that Richard Quest, a white man, who was embroiled in drugs related scandal that made headlines around the world, is still working for the Cable New outfit and those with cleaner records have been shown the exit door; there is only one word: RACISM, to explain the happenings in Atlanta, according to those who know!
Na Wa Oh... Amerika make Una Take Una Tym for 9gerians bodi oh... My pipo, No Place Lyk Home! Thank God that she was given a very good job here in her own country, at least the Salary is very very comparable to what she earns in the USA working for CNN.
I don't know if it was based on racism. Lots of the reporters on CNN are black. If they are going to downsize in Atlanta, a city which is undergoing a very stressful economic time right now, then a lot of Black reporters will get hit in the process. I think Femi Oke will be better off in Abuja (if he was in fact offered a position there)... he will make a bigger name for himself and probably wouldn't be stuck as simply a weather reporter for very long.

From my point of view, i dont believe in RACISM, like harmonny said its a thing of the mind cos Nigerias are even more racially biased to other nigerias than the whites self lol its crazy but that is the real truth.
