...I just couldn't be bothered to take the time to respond to him this morning when I first read this nonsense. Rasi knows full well (a) what she meant and (b) that she is in fact one of if not the most knowledgable Pan Africanist here.

Why be bothered now then Rosalind? Since you have assumed that I/We know full well what this person means when she states: "Most African Leaders Are Pigs" - why dont you educate us on what she meant.
Would it be any different if she said Most African leaders are Monkeys/Baboons/Orangutangs? If not - then why is labeling Most African Leaders As Pigs acceptable?
What if Biracial Obama call Most African Leaders Pigs - should we know what his intent was also?
It is also interesting to note that two (I think) Bi-racial people are focusing more on my line of questioning instead of resisting the demeaning labels imposed on a whole race of people.
I've met, read the works of and in some cases interacted with numerous knowledgable pan Africanist - and I've never heard a one call Most African Leaders PIGS.
I would much rather be labeled ridiculous by ones such as yourself than be a hypocrite - as your post has exemplified.
