Well! I’ll give Nicholas Kristof credit for his honesty. These folks only admit that whites matter more than Blacks in stories about Africa in academic books and J-seminars and such. (I first noted the problem when I was 25 or so, when Amy Biehl died and ABC’s “Primetime Live” pulled out the stops.) So it’s good to finally see this mostly intra-racial discussion (as in, among whites 🙂 ) in the mainstream media.

Of course, what’s always missing is a harder—and Blacker—perspective. So here it is, and some comment about it.
