Is Paul Kagame the "house negro" of the democratic world?

As every schoolchild knows, the world is divided into Good Guys and Bad Guys. The Bad Guys are led by an axis of evil comprised of Russia, China, and Iran. They are all autocratic dictatorships ruled by ruthless autocratic dictators. Then there's the Good Guys. The Nations of Virtue. NATO/USA/EU and G7. We believe in democracy and human rights and rule of law and blah blah blah... if you're reading this blog you already know the song and dance. What's got my dander up at the moment is this. Throughout that Globe story I was analyzing in my previous post, Rwanda was repeatedly portrayed as being an enemy. They were the baddies behind the bad guys, because if Canada is fighting them, they must be... But hold the phone! Rwanda's Prez is an all-time favorite of the UK-US lords of the universe. He just closed a deal with Britain's first brown PM to ship brown migrants to Rwanda from UK! Imagine the poor shit who spends his life's savings on smugglers to get him and his family from Lagos or Nairobi into the UK, only to get busted and returned to... fucking Rwanda? That's gotta sting! But not to worry. The British tax-payer is lavishing Kagame with hundreds of millions of pounds to take this problem off Rishi's guilty brown hands. We have no probem hurling abuse at the likes of Putin or Lukashenko when they win allegedly rigged elections with numbers in the 70s and 80s. Yet Kagame, who won his last election with 99% of the votes, is still welcome under the Democracy Big Top?! Get the fuck outta here!
