I give credit where credit is due. Arnold Schwarzenegger has done what most black colleges have failed to do. He has signed a bill that will ban the state’s pension funds from investing in companies that do business with the Sudan.
This sends a huge message out about the level of commitment, in some corners, to end this crisis as California has the largest state pension fund in the country.
State funds managers say that any investments in the Sudan would already be small but, what this does is place greater pressure on the governors of other states, who have not already done so, to call for similar measures.
If we can’t appeal to the humanity of people, we must hit them where they do feel it — in their wallets.
I never thought I would say this but, kudos to Gov. Schwarzenegger.
