I understand your sentiment but you should be careful not to rescind into racism
yourself. your emphasis on "whites" as an oppressive colour disturbs me.
oppression is system-specific. i don't see too many whites in rwanda
oppressing.
rather you should focuc on the ruling class not by colour but by its
association with capital.
kind regards
bill
