My main point is Whites cannot legitimately call their migrating to Africa, Repatriation. Any idea of Whites claiming this is silly and misguided. Also, no right thinking African should support any group of Blacks or Whites that goes into Africa to teach while they are not clear on the issues that affect us all (especially issues affecting Africans in the wider Diaspora). In that ignorance they may be killing the natural spirit of Africans instead of uplifting them. Certainly if they are teaching indigenous Africans that Selassie I is god and that they should pray to him, or if they are teaching Bible studies, then they are just missionaries. All those who want to teach children in Africa should be well informed on the issues first. And to ensure that we are not maintaining the White saviour syndrome, then concerned whites should quietly support well informed Blacks who are doing the work.
