No - my attitude is that simplistic comments do not solve complex problems. I don't profess to know much about the African issues but have good friends who have lived there, in places like the Congo, Kenya and Tanzania as well as South Africa. I don't think the whites have too much to be proud of there either but the decisions of colonial whites over two hundred years ago were in character with the prevailing views of the time. They are now exposed as poor but one cannot reverse history, just try and make a bit of a difference for the future.Matabele link said:CW struggles with an African making such comments because Australia has vilified Africa's own choices with regard to their native population whilst committing far worse themselves.
