Sorry but the main reason is that many black people are not as politically inclined as I would like them to be. When I have rung up my bredrins before about these sorts of events they could not give a shit, they would rather go to a rave or a garage night or something, and don't see how it effects them.
P.S You are wrong about Darfur. At the two rallies I have been to in London, over 80% of people there were from Sudan or Darfur, with some white people who care more about Africans than many black people there as well. At the Darfur rally I could barely see a white face.
In my experience of political marches/movements the people most likely to attend are africans, or continental africans. West Indian brits are not frequent at these sorts of things, why I could not say, but people of Continental african origin are far far more likely to take an interest.
It is no good blaming people spending their time doing things, and helping others. Amnesty international do a great job, and so do the anti slavery charities.
