David, somehow I get the impression that perhaps you are not too
well informed about "African culture"
Redmond O'Hanlon wrote a great book called "No Mercy" about his
travels through the Congo and what he came across, it makes
for interesting reading.
Most white folk have no idea of the role that superstition, witch
doctors etc, play in African culture. But when people are sentenced
to 7 days jail for murder or the Bantu are debating wether the
pygmies are actually human or not and should or should not be
eaten the same as bush meat, the list goes on, it eventually
becomes clear that trying to enforce our culture on them overnight,
is not likely to be that successfull and no, you can't blame the
white man for all these cultural practises.
