an invitation to the white house means the president supports their "socio-economic and political policies"???
can't be true.
on another note, why say caucasian instead of white? caucasian is more than a disagreeable term, it is an historically racist designation grounded in white pseudo-historical notions about racial origins. it became the polite or refined term at some point. it seems now time to consign it to the historical dustbin of unpleasant words.

President Obama never ceases to amaze me. I totally disagree with this idea of inviting 47 feckless African "Heads of States" to a summit in Washington.This invitation is a testament that he supports their socio-economic and political policies. If a Caucasian Republican president had organized this meeting there will be hues and cries from the "Liberal left" and the African-American 'mercenaries' (those who PRETEND that they empathize with the subjugated sub-Saharan Africans only to host and applaud "democrats" such as Macias Obieng of Equatorial Guinea, Museveni of Uganda and Kagame of Rwanda to name a few) against such a rendezvous given the current situation of wars, corruption, maladministration and repressions.Though I am to the left of the liberals in my Democratic party, I question President Obama's foreign policy in sub-Saharan Africa.William Bangura (WB)--On Wed, Jan 22, 2014 at 7:13 PM, Emeagwali, Gloria (History) <emeagwali@mail.ccsu.edu> wrote:
