Rhetoric of blame is now a white lie (AFRICA, HEAL THYSELF)
The Daily Telegraph ^ | September 3, 2002 | Tim Butcher
"I remember Africa in the 1960s, everyone was filled with high expectations after independence. Forty years on, Africa is a series of kleptocracies, many worse off than they were under colonial rule. Almost all of the common people in relative worse shape to the rest of the world than they were before independence. Africans after 40 years have no one to blame but their own leadership for their problems. The leaders want to deflect blame to the West. The West's not buying it anymore..."

Meant to flag you earlier. I'm wondering if I shouldn't make a habit of posting these e-letters... you certainly won't find these topics discussed on the networks- it doesn't fit their happy-talk about Africa, so they just won't mention it at all...

Thanks for showing this. I'll be looking forward to when this continent is depopulated by disease and poverty and opened up as a colony again.

How could quadaffi say this? Wasn't he Billy Carter's best friend? Sadly, this type of racism is strong in america also.

OMG !

There isn't any good news ( except for the AIDS respose; which WILL be dismissed and called " white "; even though... no, especially because a Zulu said it ) here. This is beyond sickening.

South African white farmers, have been systematically killed , in greater numbers and for a much longer period of time, than their counterparts in Zimbabwe. That old couple was murdered, because they were white. The theft was just the " icing on the cake " , as it ever is, for the thugs of S.A. !
