Actually, this is how I look at how the Rwanda genocide happened. The Hutus and Tutsis never really got along. However, the colonial legacy basically inflamed tensions. Colonialism was nothing benevolent at all. However, the Tutsis were given preferential treatment over the Hutus. Under Belgian rule, this basically created more tensions in an already tense places.
Uh; IF there was a bunch of "white" people stirring up stuff in Rwanda, I'd agree. Tho tribe tensions CAN be "racism" but to us they're all "Black" as you said.

Things are much more complicated than you might think. Those who don't learn about history will miss alot of important details. With Rwanda, Blacks were not liked in general, but Tutsis were treated better than Hutus. Two groups were pitted against each other, that had already had a complicated relationship with one another for years. However, the effects of colonialism complicated it even more. It played a part. There was racism on all ends of it.
It wasn't all bad between the Hutus and Tutsis. There has been some intermixing between both groups in the past. It was kind of complicated.

You're probably right. I read up on that Rwanda mess and the crazy Hutus were off and killing the saner Hutus along with the Tutsis.
