Two Bloody Situations

Let's say that in a war in Africa, there are armed soldiers like in Rwanda. A Black soldier armed with a machete finds a Black man and hacks his head clean off with a machete. He's dead.

Now lets say it is a White armed soldier armed with a machete and he finds a Black man and hacks his head clean off with a machete. He's dead.

Why was it worse for the White soldier to hack the Black man's head off than for the Black soldier to hack the Black man's head off. He's dead.

A friend said, "Because the White soldier was prejudiced."

Booker T. Washington said:

"There is another class of colored people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs, and the hardships of the Negro race before the public. Having learned that they are able to make a living out of their troubles, they have grown into the settled habit of advertising their wrongs -- partly because they want sympathy and partly because it pays. Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances, because they do not want to lose their jobs....There is a certain class of race-problem solvers who do not want the patient to get well, because as long as the disease holds out they have not only an easy means of making a living, but also an easy medium through which to make themselves prominent before the public."
