Slavery Has Returned to Africa. So what now, leftists? Oh, you want to rush in and liberate those Africans? Establish western values among the people? Hmm, I dunno. Sounds like something a filthy colonizer would do.

Western culture. Our culture. Whatever else could I mean?

Come now, let's have a proposed solution to this pressing problem.

Ah, "Western" ;)

Historically, these sorts of "pan" cultural movements are rarely successful: pan-Arabism, pan-Africanism, pan-Westernism.

I don't see "Western culture" suddenly uniting in response to slavery or homophobia (not sure which you're talking about now). France and Germany and the UK and the US and Canada are always bickering among themselves.

So what are we to do about homophobia in Africa? Intervene? Or be isolationists who let people suffer for no reason. What's your solution?

I found this article about what I think you're driving at: Western countries giving asylum to persecuted gay refugees.
