(139 posts)in part 1 and part 2 both already. The reason I put the links to the full Spiegel articles at the end of my diaries is to encourage people to please finish reading my review article in it's entirety before giving a link to send them off to read the full Spiegel article that I've just reviewed as a matter of chronology. This reflects my training as a librarian when undertaking reviews. I wanted to extend myself to provide a brief explanation of that for anyone who wasn't familiar with my writing style and to apologize for any confusion this may have caused.
Here's the link to the full Spiegel article (part 2) for anyone that is interested who hasn't read part 2 of my article to the end. The Spiegel article is entitled: "Racial Divide: The Tragedy of America's First Black President"
Also for people who aren't familiar with the Spiegel, I'd like to point out it is the equivalent of TIME magazine in the European Union, in it's award winning English language translation. Spiegel does the type of investigative journalism that use to be common place in the American press and traditional media. So it is I invite people to give the Spiegel quite a close read as their time and interest may permit, as I think getting an international point of view would add value to any readers perspective. Finally here's a link to part 1 again which Muriel provided earlier with the suggestion that in keeping with chronology it may be helpful to consider reading this Spiegel part 1 of the series first before reading The Tragedy of America's first black President as part 2 to reflect the order the two articles in series were published in.
Part 1 from the Spiegel, entitled "Residents of Ferguson Struggle with Daily Racism 'We're Like Animals To Them': An American City's Daily Racism"
