AH, SO THIS IS WHAT THEY MEAN BY POST-RACIAL:

U.S. Diplomat Urges Revised Sudan Policy: Inclusion on Terrorism List Challenged (Colum Lynch, 7/31/09, Washington Post)

President Obama's top Sudan envoy said Thursday that there was no basis for keeping Sudan on the U.S. list of states that sponsor terrorism and that it was only a matter of time before the United States would have to "unwind" economic sanctions against the Khartoum government.

Retired Air Force Maj. Gen. Scott Gration's remarks before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee represented the most forceful critique yet by a U.S. official of the long-standing American effort to put economic and political pressure on Sudan's Islamic government. Sudan, which has harbored members of al-Qaeda, including Osama bin Laden, was designated a terrorism sponsor in 1993.

Gration's comments Thursday raised concerns among activists and Sudan's critics in Congress that the administration is offering to reward Sudan without securing assurances that the government will take steps to end conflict in the Darfur region and in the south.

To his "credit," the UR is no more interested in genocide against blacks than in oppression of Koreans, Persians, Chinese, etc.
