"When the Missionaries arrived, the Africans had the land and the Missionaries had the Bible. They taught us how to pray with our eyes closed. When we opened them, they had the land and we had the Bible." – Jomo Kenyatta, the first Prime Minister and President of Kenya.
I mean the title to this post ironically. I guess I'm thinking about colonialism, lately. In that vein, another quote:
"There
are many humorous things in the world; among them, the white man’s
notion that he is less savage than the other savages." – Mark Twain.
