I find it insulting to dogs to let Kenyans eat THEIR food!!

Are you insinuating that Kenyans are worth less than dogs? I happen to be of Kenyan origin (was born there), and to be honest find the phrasing of that statement rather insulting.

The decision to not accept the offer may be tantamount to looking a gift horse in the mouth (and to be honest the people in the afflicted regions could probably use the food right now ....and note that it is the government officials who are refusing this, and all of these officials are in the greater area of the nation that happens to have lots of food and not the areas that are dustbowls), however saying it is insulting to dogs for Kenyans to eat their food is quite caustic. Especially coming from a Freeper. However I guess that is to be expected ....after all they are just Kenyans who are so 'worthless' that even dogs should be insulted of them.

The interesting thing is I remember some weeks after 9-11 a Maasai village that lived in what is tantamount to the Kenyan boondocks (they basically live a traditional lifestyle, and are some of the people worst hit by this famine) actually offered cattle to the United States. They collected some of their finer cattle and offered it to the US. Now, that act may seem absolutely ridiculous (a few poor tribespeople offering a bunch of scraggly cattle), until one realizes the significance of cattle to the Maasai. That is their entire life (since they still adhere to the traditional ways),and thus the act had a lot of significance. It is the single biggest gift they can give. Especially considering that they are dirt poor by ANY standard ....apart from their scraggly cattle.

However now I learn that they are so worthless that even dogs should be insulted if they touched their food. Silly worthless Kenyans .....they should have known better.

/sarcasm.
