Hello Buharry, Thanks for this masterpiece! Such can come only from the mind of someone who thinks for himself and does not swallow, without chewing, all the garbage being spewed daily by supposedly "civilised" people who constantly behave more uncivilised than the supposedly "uncivilised". The hypocrisy you highlighted here, to which you have also given numerous examples, is evident down to even our individual and group relationships and seems to have assumed endemic proportions, with those constantly professing fear of God being the most hypocritical of all. It seems as if it was only yesterday when noble men like Mandela were branded terrorists by these same supposedly civilised people whiles sucking the blood of innocent Africans. Barely weeks before September 11th, there was this racism conference in South Africa and the "West" with Uncle Sam at the forefront refused to even attend if they could not dictate what was to be on the agenda - not to talk of apologising for the wrongs comitted especially against Blacks over the centuries. Yes, for them we are less than even toilet paper. Africans continue to die even today on a daily basis because of U.S policies of both yesterday and today. God bless you!
