Re: Ah! We agree at last. So why do you single out the SAn whites, like me, for criticism?

Actually, it's not that I've singled you out --I merely didn't spare you from my unconditional opposition to colonialism everywhere-- clue:

Re: As a famous Brussels priest put it, "The poor are poor not because they don't have money --they don't have money because they are poor!"(*) For that matter, zillions of dollars and euros were donated to Africa through numerous NGOs, to no avail as far as economic development is concerned.

We agree again. But it's like saying the stupid are stupid because they are stupid.


Not quite. What Father Vanderbiest meant is that the poor's lack of money is the "end product" of their social predicament, not the root of it.... As for being stupid, I'm afraid developed Americans and Europeans have proved much, much more stupid than their "benighted" African brethren waging war among themselves twice over the past century... the WWI and WWII butcheries cost tens of millions of lives. And, having learnt nothing from history, Europe is currently repeating the blunder of Jim Crow America whereas the latter is aping European colonialism in Iraq... What's more stupid than to believe that the world hasn't changed over the past fifty years? What's more stupid than for white Europeans and Americans to think they're divinely endowed to rule the world in saecula saeculorum? The one-thousand-year Third Reich proved stupid enough and yet, the Judeofascist hubris beats it!
