Kenya: Beijing Notebook

 

Unfair to imply that Africans are generally more selfish than mankind at large!  Seen Chinese line up to get on a bus?

PEOPLE are generally selfish people.

So lining up to get on a bus makes them selfish?

I was simply pointing out that our African governments are only as selfish as their people; and act the same way any other African would, if they were to govern their individual countries...a particular selfishness that's possibly poverty-induced.

As this thread is very much related to Africa, I was only considering Africans and the way we are so I didn't care to focus the attention on any other group of people.  But if you feel left out and want me to call you and your people selfish, that won't be a problem...I just assumed the whole world already knew that one.

i meant that the looting class is made up of this connected class...we can never say that africans are all selfish!...this people who are in positions to make decisions are mostly corrupt....not all but a good number...

I was generalizing...so yeah, obviously there are always exceptions; not all Africans are that selfish.

...truth...

My sincere apologies.  My original response was uncalled for.  May the sun ever shine gently upon your brow and the wind blow lightly across your shoulders.
