Saiks, I believe that the reaction against blacks in Libya had more to do with the perception of their involvement in Libya as Qaddafi's mercenaries than the the color of their skin. For years it was common knowledge within and outside Libya, that Qaddafi employed mercenaries and a disproportionate number of these are Africans. Given the undisciplined nature of the rebellion it is understandable to see all blacks being associated with mercenaries. I would dare say, had they been Chinese, the reaction may have been the same. In America its called racial profiling. Terrible as it is and very imprecise for most part, its a common tool used by a fearful threatened population. In short easy to see, easy to target. The African Union for its part is and had been acting as if on Qaddafi's interest. Apart from individual countries evacuating citizens, I have not heard the African Union leading the way to protect innocent blacks caught in the middle either by setting up safe haven within Libya or working with both sides to allow for safe passage. Now that Qaddafi is on the way out, I wonder how the no-recognition stance would help convince Libyans that being black does not equate to pro-Qaddafi.
