I spent several years in many African nations (and some in Asia) fighting against groups like the RUC who would take boys that age, force them to kill their parents and then hook them on drugs and force them to fight for their "cause." The ones who wouldn't fight got a hand chopped off so they "would not raise arms against the RUC..."
I won't even begin to tell what they did to the girls.
The movies don't even come close to getting it right or telling the real story.

 

[REDDOG309]

I feel sick

Sick as a result of my reply?
Sorry REDDOG, just telling like it was. That's not even the worst.
I stated that I fought and that's true but I also stayed behind volunteering to help build homes, schools and even soccer (football) fields among other work I did along with many volunteers.

Little Wing mentioned doing an image search. I've been online for a long time, but had never checked that out. Did with the OP's pic, however and found this.

RWANDANS AND CONGOLESE SHOULD BE ALLIES, NOT ENEMIES September 24, 2012 By Eric Kamba Protesters from Rwanda, Congo and Burundi denounce Gen. Paul Kagame outside the Boston hotel where he spoke to celebrate Rwanda Day, which writer Eric Kamba calls "a public relations fest for the repressive, criminal regime." As African people and neighbors who are still struggling to recover from the ravages of colonialism, Rwandans and Congolese should be allies in lifting all of their people from poverty to decent living standards, literacy and dignity. It's time for dialogue between Rwandan and Congolese people of like mind to finally end the 16-year war between our two armies and their various ancillary or surrogate militias. The vast majority of both of our people need democracy, political space, economic opportunity and a common share in their countries' resource wealth. This year's Rwanda Day, a public relations fest for the repressive, criminal regime of Gen. Paul Kagame, was thrown in Boston, Massachusetts, at the Westin Copley Place Hotel, from Sept. 21 to 22, 2012. When Gen. Kagame appeared at 3 p.m. to make his usual speech about economic growth and development, protestors from Rwanda, Congo and Burundi awaited him on the streets outside the hotel to remind him that his economic "development" has not benefited the majority of Rwandans ? or the Congolese affected by his invasions of the Democratic Republic of Congo. I attended the demonstration and was pleased to meet not only Congolese but also Rwandan and Burundian people who all want to see Gen. Kagame's military dictatorship come to an end and see peace in the region. Kagame's regime is all about image and perception by his Western friends. While he travels the world in private jets, lives in luxury at the finest hotels, and draws a salary more than twice that of the Russian president and more than that of the UK prime minister, 70 percent of the Rwandan population live in extreme poverty. Rwanda's imprisoned opposition leaders Victoire Ingabire, D?ogratias Mushayidi and Bernard Ntaganda have been nominated for the European Parliament's Sakharov Prize. Kagame assassinates or imprisons any real critics or challengers to his regime. On Sept. 12, three of the country's imprisoned opposition leaders, Victoire Ingabire, D?ogratias Mushayidi and Bernard Ntaganda, were nominated for the European Parliament's Sakharov Prize, which was created in 1988 to honor individuals or organizations who have dedicated their lives to the defense of human rights and freedom of thought. People inside Rwanda are continuously harassed by government, and prominent Kagame opponents have been assassinated in Kenya, South Africa, Congo and Tanzania. In May 2011, the London Metropolitan Police warned Rwandan citizens that they believed Rwandan nationals had entered the country intending to kill them. "I hope that the next generation of Rwandan and Congolese children will walk arm in arm to improve their lives and those of all African people." Eric Kamba Fourteen years of U.N. reports have documented Gen. Kagame and his army and allies' invasions and plunder of Rwanda's neighbor, the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The most recently pubished U.N. report accused Rwanda of being the power behind the M23 rebel group that this year renewed the war in Congo's eastern provinces, which has already cost over 6 million lives. Can Gen. Kagame sustain the so-called "development" that he so endlessly drones on about without making war in Congo and plundering its resources? I don't believe so. But I do believe that Rwandans and Congolese can unite, as neighbors and as African people, to end the war and the repressive regimes waging it. Eric Kamba is an activist and a social worker with the Boston-based Congolese Development Center. He says he cannot safely return to his home in the Democratic Republic of Congo so long as Joseph Kabila remains in power. Eric can be reached at ekamba@aol.com.

You post a picture of several black kids, provided no direction or input of your own, and people made jokes about it. What the fuck did you think was going to happen?

You seem new here, so... Welcome to the Internet.

The picture was meant exactly for that, for you guys to speak on the image. Nothing more, nothing less. Quit talking like im bitching about it, Im just stating my opinion.

Really? Because you said otherwise...

Again, since you're new here, I'll give you a tip: when you post stuff, it stays there for a while and people other than yourself can see it.

 

[Z499]

to post a serious comment on the pic, i would say a tight friendship or family, which in that area of the world where things are more than likely stacked against you, a tight bond with friends and family is one of the most important things you can have. dont get me wrong friends and family are always important no matter where you go.

Yes the picture was posted (yes as bait) to count how many people are blinded by racism, its obvious. at the same time I want to see everyone speak on the image.

im rarely serious on the web or in person, but im not afraid to share my serious and honest thoughts and opinions if thats what one wants.

Making what some might consider an inappropriate joke about a photo posted on a message board makes you "blinded by racism"?

 

[IronAddict]

That's a wonderful thing to have friendships such as this, no concept of their poverty or hate and all.

I'm no racist or anything like that, but I can't believe you guys missed the obvious, that's a basketball team on their way to the boys club.

I'm obviously racist, but I don't think that just because someone posted a racist joke about the picture makes them racist. That's the fun thing about jokes, they're often the opposite of what people think.

Having said that...

For someone like Doms, I would say yes.
