"...by giving $15 billion to fight AIDS, $200 million for famine relief..."

Anybody else see something wrong here?

With $15 billion couldn't we buy the entire country?

I would strongly recommend Keith's book "Out of America", which should be compulsory reading for all black Americans. Many in Africa, where I live, feel that the continual meddling in our continent's affairs by black Americans is doing us a great disservice. Their understanding of the way Africa works is far far inferior to that of the British colonialists. Africa does not need PC solutions, it needs common sense -- a quality many black Americans seem to lack when it comes to the continent of their roots.
Yes I am white and, to many, what I say may appear to be racist. But I live in Africa. I was born in Africa. And that gives me a much better perspective than black American activists who jet in once every couple of years and mostly only see the inside of Sheraton hotels.
