It's Monday night, I've done my homework, I think......

Mr Raku introduced us to a new song today.
Billy Joel's We Didn't Start The Fire
Damned catchy tune it is, really.

Anyways, moving on to after school..
I watched Hotel Rwanda with MichChrisGwenDaryl
The show is an absolute MUSTwatch for everyone.

YES. Every Single Bloody One of You Reading This.

It is Fantastic. Awesome. Marvellous. Eye-opening. Moving. Just plain indescribable in one word.

I've always heard of this thing in Rwanda, something along the likes of a massacre.
Turns out it's a genocide. With the loss of at least a million people.
Mostly the Tutsis.

I know, I know. Tutsis? What on earth are Tutsis? Tootsie Rolls? Hmm..

Well, in Rwanda, Africa, there were 2 main tribes of people, the Hutus and the Tutsi minority.
Hutus hate Tutsis, Hutus want to kill Tutsis.
Hutus plan to wipe out the Tutsi race.

And how did they plan to do that?
They killed the children. The next generation of Tutsis.
Killed without mercy, without thought.

These innocent people died, and what were the Western powers doing?

They were sitting in their big mahogany tables, sipping coffee and tea, watching the 9 o'clock news, and doing absolutely NOTHING about it.

They weren't white. They were black. They weren't even African-American. They were Africans.

That is why. That was why nobody intervened. Nobody thought to help these poor people, scared shitless of what was happening in their country, their homeland. They turned to the Western powers for help, and were basically told to fuck straight off of the world's face.
