My sister is a teacher in Malawi, Third poorest country in the world, She prefers to teach the kids there as they still have respect for her position unlike here where the kids are spoiled they have been told they can say what they want and do what they want and she has to take it. My mother who is 70 just flew out on tuesday for a month, they are treating her like the queen has arrived. My advice is go see it then judge it. Last week I broadcasted the Urban Music Awards from London with all the big black singers names there its a far cry from Malawi they are as uninterested in Africa as most white people are thats why they ware the diamonds and furs. Much of Band Aids money was spent on trains (steam) so as to get transport into the poorest areas, and they are still there working so it was not totally wasted money. Much of Africas problem is caused by the whites(fair trade, debts and interest on them) much more is caused by its a bad place to farm and live it has drought etc but they keep having more and more kids.
I plan to put a server farm in Africa because I feel it is a way to give them education and a way to trade outside Africa without leaving the place. I have been trying to get Alan Sugar to put up some of the PC's he is currently scrapping so I can build a PC school but he is too busy being a superstar on TV to bother.

I knew how atrocious the slave trade was. I mean the jumping overboard, the sickness (the flux) the filth! Oh my GOD! But I had no idea Bristol and Liverpool mde out like fat rats though. No wonder they won't allow blacks to move in Liverpool. (I heard on another post that blacks would get beat up there in some form or another)

You've got a point on that use of the "white man" term here in the US and I have to agree. Us blacks use it ALL the time. Though unlike what SAM S. thinks I or we don't mean to generalize. When we say things like that, even when men talk about women or vice versa we don't mean to generalize. Women on the other hand......... As far as Japan goes you mentioned a few times about them being emperialistic and that reminds me of a History Channel thing last year I saw about them and I remember talking on the phone to a lady friend of mine and saying "I thought america was bad but the Japanese REALLY treated prisoners of war like......"
