Complicity

I can tell you one way I am complicit right now and that is my bank that I bank with (although the amount of money that goes in and out of my account is so relatively miniscule that it's hardly playing a decisive role in propping up the evil banking system [constructed on the proceeds of slavery].) However nuff people in places like Sophia (again, just to pick one example out of many) don't have no bank account and really literally have little more than the clothes on their backs. There are ways in which you could argue that they are complicit in their own oppression, eg. by failing to organise and rise up against the oppressors yet in an effective and ethical manner, by taking part in petty and not-so-petty crime thus giving the authorities more excuses to come in like paramilitary invaders and harrass, beat and torture random members of the community... but c'mon, humanity is not made up entirely of angels and when people are placed under such extreme pressure and given such few options, such things will occur!
I really don't see how such people are complicit in the rape of Africa except in the most tangential of ways. They are living pretty much like the same people in Africa who are being raped. In fact I consider such communities to BE Africa, Africa-in-'exile'.
