Re: Patrick Bond There is another factor here,that writers like this seem to ignore. It isn't just what I like to call "knee jerk anti-imperialism". There is a deeply indoctrinated sense of white guilt among many on the left. It's how many of us were raised, with the idea that white people are by nature, racist, evil, greedy, sadististic, blood thirsty, power hungry, etc, and that any non-white person who takes on these characteristics, was somehow tainted by their interactions with American, British, or European influences. We automatically want to believe the best of people of color.
