You forgot, they were white, and in the context of African Nationalism, that makes it all okay.

well who else are the tinpot dictators going to blame.

Why the USA, of course.:)

Well, we did give them AIDS so that we could use the treatment/immunization program to invade their country.

uh, ok. proof?

He's being funny.

The evidence runs the other direction, actually, that HIV probably originated in Africa and travelled to the US.

Read "And the Band Played On." It's still a great analysis of the early years of the AIDS Crisis.

A little bit of humor, yes, although their gov't did say that at one point.

And everybody knows it's Canada's fault AIDS is in N. America.

thanks for pointing out the humor. i must be getting slow in my old age. (just had my 30th) LOL

i'm proven wrong on a lot of things (i'm ok with that, it's called learning) but i thought it had been traced from africa this direction.

Now that is very likely true ...

I'll have to find the name, but wasn't it that homosexual canadian (redundant, I know) steward (male flight attendant for those too young to know the difference)?

Gaetan Dugas. Patient Zero. Steward for Air Canada.

Thank you ma'am.

Could someone please explain to me the disrespect shown towards Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson in the beginning of this thread? What do they have to do with Mugabe?

Just curious....

Lookout made a crack remark (which I thought was great), and some folks made their dislike of Jackson and Sharpton known. This board tends to lean right/libertarian, so the remarks did not surprise me.

I personally like both of them, though I have my concerns about Sharpton.

That's a myth though isn't it?
