Evidently, StanB intended to make a 'joke' aimed at Jerome Bibuld.
But StanB also objects to Bill Brock's comment that Tim Hanke has made
'racist remarks' here, so that part was snipped.
You're projecting. I automatically snip any such post that would require me
to concede such a point. I simply don't subscribe to it.
Evidently, StanB has confirmed that he "simply (doesn't) subscribe" to
Bill Brock's "point" that Tim Hanke has made "racist remarks" (Bill Brock's
comment) here. So how could I be "projecting" about what StanB believes
and why he snipped Bill Brock's post to me?
I also state that you are the racist here. You ignore the genocide and
cannibalism of the intraracism of Africans.

StanB has flagrantly *lied* again. I have *not* ignored the existence of
genocide in Africa. Here's the evidence to prove that StanB has *lied*:
In the thread, 'Zhang Zhong revisited' (26 June 2003), I responded *directly*
to StanB's baseless ad hominem attack on me by writing in part:
"StanB asks: 'In the last century where have most acts of genocide taken place?'
In the 20th (last) century, 'acts of genocide' have taken place in widely
separated regions around the world. 'Most acts of genocide' did not take
place at a solitary location. Many 'acts of genocide' took place in Europe
during the 1930-40s. Many 'acts of genocide' also took place in Asia.
But I suppose that StanB prefers to consider only 'acts of genocide' in
Africa.
In the past several centuries, there have been many 'acts of genocide' in
Africa, for which Europeans, Arabs, and Africans themselves all have been
responsible. It's been estimated that the European slave trade captured
10-15 million Africans (and more were killed while attempting to escape it).
The European rubber trade tended to treat African workers with close to
genocidal cruelty. Given his emphasis on the 'place' of 'acts of genocide',
StanB seems to imply that if those acts took place in Africa, then the guilty
must all be indigenous Africans. But that conclusion is only partially true.
Of course, in 1994 the ruling Hutus were mainly responsible for the genocide of
Tutsis in Rwanda. (I knew a Rwandan academic whose entire family was murdered.)
Yet blame also should be distributed among many onlookers outside Rwanda.
'...That was the genocide in Rwanda in 1994, in which, according to one
calculation...the daily killing rate was five times that of the Nazi death
camps 50 years earlier.
It is now well known that the UN, thanks to the reports of the commander of
its tiny force in Rwanda, Romeo Dallaire, had received *ample warning* that
a programme of butchery was planned. So, therefore, had the countries on the
UN Security Council. Yet for the first crucial weeks, as hundreds of thousands
of people were hacked to death, General Dallaire was *ignored*. Members of
the Clinton administration would *not* even dare to describe the slaughter as
*genocide*, for fear that would *oblige* them, under the 1949 genocide
convention, to *take action*. Only France sent troops--late and for dubious
reasons of geopolitical rivalry, though they certainly saved some lives. Apart
from General Dallaire and a contingent of Ghanaian peacekeepers, *no one*,
including Mr Annan, as he himself as bravely admitted, comes well out of the
Rwandan affair.'

What will StanB lie about next?
Instead you twist whatever mizunge says in his disgust of you, as some
racist remark.

As I recall, StanB already has quite a record of misspelling words in English.
Now StanB has added misspelling words in Swahili, such as "mizunge" (sic), to
his favourite anti-intellectual opening repetoire.
