And the only cure of such racist and sexist "evil," Mama Mzuri Lango Deen, is to fight back, and very hard!!!

How ironic!

In England, Rupert Murdoch's News of the World tabloid has just been accused of a lack of humanity, after the paper was found to have hacked into the voicemail of murdered schoolgirl (and even deleted messages) while she was the subject of missing person's hunt in 2002. Here,  another tabloid in the Murdoch stable has been accused of gutter tactics. The Columbia Journalism Review is right  "the New York Post is no longer merely a journalistic problem. It is a social problem – a force for evil."

AP News Break: Strauss-Kahn accuser files libel lawsuit against NY Post over prostitute claim

By Associated Press, Updated: Tuesday, July 5, 12:52 PM

NEW YORK — The New York City hotel maid at the center of the Dominique Strauss-Kahn sex assault case has filed a libel lawsuit against the New York Post after it called her a prostitute.

The woman's lawyer, Kenneth Thompson, filed the claim Tuesday in Bronx state Supreme Court. A series of Post articles over the weekend said the 32-year-old was a "prostitute," and "hooker" and that she "traded sex for money."

The lawsuit says that the statements are false.

The Post didn't immediately comment.

Strauss-Kahn was released without bail Friday after prosecutors said new information about the woman's life had forced them to reconsider the case. They say she lied about details surrounding how she came to the U.S.

The woman maintains the sexual assault occurred.
