Cornelius,

Thanks for the links. With the advent of the Internet only the lazy can
claim ignorance.

Only last year, an English "aristocrat" whose forebears had robbed large
acres of land in Kenya, shot and killed a young Kenyan, father and husband,
simply because he "trespassed on his property," and that was not the first
time this same man committed such a crime:

for
a more comprehensive background and the type of mentality that allows these
people to continue to behave like they are in the Wild West. One must also
lay blame at our system of justice that allows these criminals to murder
Africans with impunity; the mental shackles that tells the Black man that he
is second class, not only abroad but also at home also bounds our
"educated".

And Black people are discussing Black issues at:

Kabir.
