Gus > African leaders are not worse than Latin American leaders. Actually, most leaders --whatever their country, whatever their complexion-- are blameworthy Which is precisely my attitude and you should know that by now. In fact, I don't believe you could have ever heard me say a good word about any politician, whether South African, American or from anywhere else -- and of any colour. On this basis you can hardly say I am paternalistic to blacks. As far as blameworthy is concerned, however, I think we would both agree that the present US administration takes a lot of beating.

Gus > You mistake paternalism for empathy (2). Maybe I don't shape up with the blacks but I can certainly empathise with this guy. opednews.com >>When he [Dr Marble], like thousands of others, lost his home due to Hurricane Katrina last week, it was the single most traumatic week of his life. That led to his Sept. 8 confrontation with the man who best represents the worst of the most callous, heartless, shittiest administration in U.S. history.<<
