Ashamed to Be Black

I'm really ashamed to hear about people like the president of Guinea, who lives the high life, sells out to the Americans, and his 500 000 population gets nothing and lives in total poverty. Mugabe is similar, except selling out to the Chinese. Meanwhile, all the other African leaders, such as ours (Mbeki), offer him their total, loyal, and unwavering support. Then one of our politicians goes to jail for stealing from the government, which is effectively stealing from the people, and all the other politicians openly show their support for him, and he gets his jail term shortened by a remarkable degree, and gets to go home on weekends. What is wrong with us? Do we only show ubuntu for the well-heeled? Are all poverty stricken people not really blacks like us? Do we really not care less about anybody except ourselves and our influential mates? I can't see the reasoning, just as I can't see the reasoning we're all violently supporting JZ. Why don't we choose rulers who have a proven track record of support for everyone, and not just interested in self wealth generation and spending? We hate the colonialists with such a passion, but we're probably worse than them whenever we get a chance.
