We can’t blame apartheid, colonialism or racism. This barbarism is architect of black people’s issues and their hate for fellow blacks. We can’t blame anyone. To do so, would be intellectually patronizing blacks. It would be assuming that by mere fact of being black some of our people are so dull that they can’t reason for themselves.
