Obama will indeed remove troops from Iraq, but will he them send them to Africa to protect such places as Dafur?

The veiled racism of that article is obvious.

No racism intended, I would support removing troops from Iraq and sending them to Africa at least as a U.N. peace keeping force. Bush won't do it because there is no oil for him.

I know you didn't intend any racism, my point was that the way the picture of him being used is a low ball effort to scare people and has racist overtones.

No, that is why I used that link, because it shows others wearing costumes of the countries they have visited, including Shrub. I wanted to show that Obama was doing nothing wrong.

UN peace keeping force, what a joke. The US would have 95% of the troops in said force. If this is a United Nations peace keeping mission then step up and supply some damn troops. Don't the Brit's have more interests in Africa than the US does? Should they not take the lead and let the US just tag along for a change. Let the Brit's be center stage on this one!

By Africa, I assume your talking about Africs South of the Sahara.

Assuming that Obama will be making our troops major players in Africa is ignoring the man, and seeing the ancestry. His priority has always been Americans, and though he will not turn his back on our neighbors in need, Africa is only one of many places to focus humanitarian efforts.
Think about it, what recent white President has helped a majority of whites? Nobody. They are sworn to serve the elite and wealthy, and that is a class issue far more than an issue of race. If they happen to have a racist policy, like a prioritized disaster response, that is a whole other matter.
