...is a perfect example of what I'm talking about.

Here we are, trying to send humanitarian aid to this place, and it's blocked by their government, who want to use the food for propaganda purposes and to strengthen their own power base. Someone, please tell me how white people are to blame for that?

In many of these former colonies, the only thing that has changed is the skin color of the oppressors. Yet such governments use Europeans as a scapegoat for their corruption in the same way that Hitler used jews as his scapegoat. And people like yourself just swallow that propaganda up.

Natasha, you're aware my earlier post was strictly sarcastic, right?
