great post—so grateful to see you respond at length and directly! although I was surprised at this sentence: "When I refer to US imperialism, I am not passing judgment on whether it is good or bad." It is definitely evil, because imperialism as such is evil! (built on domination, theft, violence and threats of violence, etc)
I am with you, Cornell. 100 per cent. But I decided to leave that conversation for another day. It would get in the way of what I was trying to say to Ted.
What a great post Dr Kwiyani, this is so insightful and a vitally important conversation initiator. This is one conversation that we should and must have and then continue having. I did not read any blame apportionment but just a holding out of a mirror on which everyone on any side would do well to reflect upon.
