After watching this program on Africa (not sure which country in Africa as I came in late) I was appalled at the way the people were treated by the rebels that went from village to village, raping and murdering anyone and everyone. They'd just come in and shoot people, burn their villages and leave them lying there. They cut off the breasts of nursing mothers. What their reasoning was is beyond me. These people were just trying to live their lives and not bothering anyone. What are they fighting about over there? I'm certainly glad I live here, and I feel that the people who are always crying discrimination against them by the whites should heed the fact that the atrocities being doing to their people over there are being done by people of their own color. Be thankful you live where such things do not happen. Granted, bad things happen here as well but we ceratinly don't live in that kind of fear.

1. Hitler was white
2. Many whites hunted down and killed blacks (lynched them without a trial) just for being black. This is historical fact in America.
Now tell us again why you like this country and your color?

rebels fight same as Iran and Iraq and Afghanistan, Tribes have been warring for centuries, just now they have different weapons, also Africa has a huge problem with slaves digging for diamonds and the rebels are supposedly using the money to help the people which they dont,
I think Americans, really do not understand what a great country we have and we should go out and wipe out all these atrocities,

That stuff went on here in the US in the 1800s, and some of our ancestors did live in fear of it. It was the government that encouraged it as well. Look up the Indian Removal Act, Wounded Knee, etc.
Sick things happen in every country. Thankfully for my particular people, these aren't happening to us today.

In our country, it's happened to the Irish, Italians, Blacks, Germans, Mexicans etc.(anyone who is different).. Our country is a melting pot of diversity.. We are not perfect and have a long way to go..but I am glad I live here.
