EDITOR'S PICK:Blaming white for the horrors black invents
NAIROBI, 2 FEB 2003 (DAILY NATION)--Though I condemn the historic white atrocities against black, I cannot condone any black injustice against white. I am more keenly aware that whites still enjoy grotesque privileges – some even crass racists – in our country.
