Perceptions

Growing up, I was taught that Africa was poor by nature but I was told Africa was mineral-rich, a wealthy continent hidden 


by greed and poverty.This conflicted with my ideas of poor black children walking miles for food and water.




Rape is the only crime on the books for which arguing that the temptation to commit it was too clear and obvious to resist 


is treated as a defence. For every other crime, we call that a confession.
