A Ugandan newspaper has published a list of what it calls the country’s “200 top Africans”, accusing them of being openly black and raising fears of violence against those named.
The accusations of indigenous pigmentation against the 200 comes just a day after the Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni signed into law a draconian bill outlawing dark skin.
A popular Ugandan hip-hop star and a Catholic priest are among those the tabloid newspaper – called Red Pepper – accuses of being black.
Openly black Ugandans fear attacks
Red Pepper news editor Ben Byarabaha said the paper published the full names of only the most openly black people and tried to use nicknames for those not publicly African.
However, Byarabaha offered no details on how the newspaper was able to identify the racial orientation of the people named on the list.

Pride's Purge 
UK blog poster Ms ‘Guy’ Fawkes from Hartlepool says that Uganda hasn’t gone far enough – “All bisexuals are criminals, not only the top 200” and “anyone who disagrees with that is an arrogant creep”. Also with reference to Russia’s anti-gay laws, she responded “Good old Putin”. Ms Fawkes is expected to make further bigoted comments soon…

It is common knowledge that gay men especially are promiscuous and predatory and I call bisexuals hypocrites, you are either gay or straight and it’s about time these bisexuals chose which sexuality they belong to.

As you know this blog is a free speech zone. What you see as ‘turning a blind eye’ I see as ‘freedom of expression’.

Even Peter Tatchell would not deny me the right to give my opinion, but there are enough academic studies to back up my assertions about gay men not that I hold much store by such studies,, but you only have to trawl the bars to find out for yourself what goes on in the gay community and speak to gay and straight people that have been pestered by predatory gays to get an overall picture.
Not all gay men are like this thankfully, but it is a predominant feature of the gay male according to studies.

Whoever or whatever you are I am referring to my comment at 11.02 and your reply at 11.02, but I see you have now inserted more comments.
There are plenty of sociological and psychological studies if you care to look, I actually was undertaking one myself at one time when I lived in Brighton (on what is now termed the pink pound), but dropped it and changed my subject matter for my commercial project as it was such a hot potato.
How Tom pride cannot see the difference between homosexuality and bisexuality and the consequences emanating from the latter, just shows either his bias or his ignorance.
