I wouldn't say 'total' blame... but if there is a natural antipathy between cattle herding cultures and settled agricultural ones then why wasn't there large scale warfare in (eg.) Kenya between the Maasai and the Kikuyu before Europeans arrived?
I just don't think lumping everyone together into rigidly defined 'types' is useful or accurate... in fact I think it's downright dangerous... you can see a little microcosm of this in Guyana at present... is there any 'natural' factor that leads to that level of virulent hatred between African and East Indian? Is it that we are different 'types' of people inherently, or just two sets of people with differing cultural backgrounds [both between one another, and among one another... Akan culture was not the same as Yoruba culture and Madrasi culture was not the same as Uttar Pradesh culture] who were slammed together in a divide and conquer situation by the brits?
As far as the comment re Rwanda, I'm not trying to be some kind of politically correct police when I say I think that was insensitive. Hundreds of thousands of people were killed (and not only Tutsi, if that matters to you) and certainly the Tutsi *children* who were killed were never responsible for any bride-kidnapping even if *some* of the adults might have been. What if someone who lost their family in that massacre was to read that statement? There are internet cafes in Rwanda.
I overs the type of rage and fury that allowed 12-14 year old Black youths to be manipulated into killing 6-14 year old Indian youths and their parents and grandparents in Lusignan in 2008 but I would never in any way attempt to justify or glorify those murders as some kind of act of resistance to Indian oppression in Guyana [even if I didn't know that the adults behind those killings were playing both sides in the ongoing cocaine wars, not leading any 'African Guyanese Rasta Resistance'- check the Roger 'Death Squad' Khan and Robert Simels trial for details... don't know how much you know about that].
By the way, funnily enough there was an interesting article in the paper today about gypsies... since the thread has already gone down this route, I'll come back and post it some time when I get the chance.
PS Hope you don't take my disagreements as picking arguments, it's not what I'm trying to do, honestly.
