In Response To: Re: Racism, Colorism and Power (Eja)

You said: “ What happenned in Rwanda in 1994 should serve as a warning of the severe damage that is already existant within the African psyche. Yet, some would look away as if to say, "as long as it aint deadly yet, dont mention it."
Rwanda in 1994 was an explosion of ancient grievances. People talk of it now as if it were MERELY some random act of mass insanity. Etc… “

* Now go look in the DR Congo. What is going on now, is Rwandan Tutsi hounding Hutu and the Kongolese people. Paul Kagame of Rwanda, the new protégé of Washington, is given a free hand in "sorting out the “nasty” Hutu problem in the DR-Congo. The Hutu had their day of killing in 1994, now the Rwanda’s government led by the small Tutsi minority is butchering Hutu refugees and the kongolese population!!! The reign of genocide is still taking place today, the Great lakes region in Africa is the world’s scandal of natural resources! Many people around the world don’t care.
