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.

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…

Not all gay men are like this thankfully, but it is a predominant feature of the gay male according to studies.

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.
