(BBC) A campaign group has called the Live 8 London concert "hideously white" for not having enough black performers.
Superstar Mariah Carey is almost the only ethnic minority performer at Hyde Park on 2 July, one of five global Live 8 concerts that day.
London-based group Black Information Link said organisers had "handpicked a virtually all-white line-up".

They can lick the turds from my ace. Any time P. Dopey and Jay Z are involved in a concert - hoe can you call it lily white? This is just another example of how many tards the world contains.
