The other lesson from the pic is that these are all United States issues

These issues affect us all. We're all affected by the US empire.

But racial pride is a matter of self-identification.

No Rwandan is gonna identify primarily as 'black', any more than an Ulsterman would identify as 'white'

that's a decent point bringing up Rwandans, just like white, not all black is the same. I cannot remember which country over there it is, but all businesses are owned by the black folks from the country next door. The nationals of this particular nation, feel as though they're all family, so the custom is to give all your stuff away; so they end up with nothing, and foreigners running the businesses...

I wish i could remember the country.

Great point! I agree, yet at the same time, have noted out of the country, a good majority of this crap isn't even news elsewhere. Now, for clarity, I've not been out of country for a long time now; perhaps things change.
