UNICEF "Did The Right Thing" by stopping Black Face Ads
UNICEF Responds to Black Face Ads

African American Political Pundit sent the following letter to UNICEF today. Here
is the interesting part of this situation UNICEF attempted to retrieve
the message from my email system, but my firewalled blocked it. Check
out what they had to say in response to my email.
I am concerned about the "racial overtones" of the recent campaign of
placing white children in black face. As a long time UNICEF supporter,
I'm concerned that UNICEF and it's German National Committee for UNICEF
are involved in racial hatred with this Ad campaign.
Please find it in the kindness of your heart to withdraw the Ads and denounce the racial hatred the ads imply.
I sincerely hope that UNICEF takes such issues as racial isolation and bigotry seriously.
Please advance humanity by taking the ads down.
