Our president's squeak about Donald Sterling's remarks (Clippers' owner) makes me wonder if he ever reads the newspaper. Far more serious than Sterling's crazy girlfriend and the way in which Sterling thinks of the millionaire athletes on his squad is the disappearance of over 150 schoolgirls in Nigeria. Years ago a man shot 75 kids in Norway and the whole world went wild because it was a neo-Nazi who did it. But in Nigeria an Islamic group abducted 175 teen Christian girls and the silence is deafening. The president doesn't seem to know about it. The feminists in the country say nothing. Hillary hikes up her pantsuit and prepares to pop another Twinky. Is it just that Africans don't matter - that they are not really part of our world? That we don't dare to say anything against Islam? That our media hates Christians? Why all this spark and outrage about Sterling, and nothing about these girls? Whose lives are important, and why is that the case? Sterling killed no one. He abducted no one. He asked his thirty-eight-year old girlfriend to not associate with Magic Johnson and the like. She taped him and flipped him off, and went off in her Bentley. How does this compare to over 150 girls getting abducted and raped and killed? What, it's not amusing?
