"Patronization is Just Another Word for Oppression"

"Ah, the "problem" of Africa - and, for that matter, of African-Americans, Latin America, South Asia, Oceania... "Patronization" hardly begins to cover it. What utter blind arrogance to speak as if these people, these human beings, as if "they" are "our" problem. What bullshit. "We" are "their" problem - 500+ years of rape, murder, slavery, exploitation, plunder. And now "they" are a problem, because "they" won't/can't adopt or adapt to the new improved model of exploitation?"
