"Former slaves and natives. Eskimos and Hiroshima people, Amazonian Indians and Indian Indians. Australian aborigines, Guatemalans and Colombians and Brazilians and Argentineans, Nigerians, Burmease, Angolans, Peruvians, Ecuadorians, Bolivans, Afghans, Cambodians, Rwandans, Filipinos, Indonesians, Liberians, Borneoans, Papa New Guineans, South Africans, Iraqis, Iranians, Turks, Armenians, Palestinians, French Guyanese, Surinamese, Sierra Leonese, Malagasys, Senegalese, Maldivians, Sri Lankans, Malaysians, Kenyans, Panamanians, Mexicans, Haitians, Dominicans, Costa Ricans, Congoans, Mauritanians, Marshall Islanders, Tahitians, Gabonese, Beninese, Malians, Jamaicans, Botswanans, Burundians, Sudanese, Eritreans, Uruguyans, Nicaraguans, Ivory Coastians, Zambians, Guinea-Bissauans, Camaroonians, Laoatians, Zaireans coming at you screaming colonialism, screaming slavery, screaming mining companies screaming banana companies oil companies screaming CIA spy among the missionaries screaming it was Kissinger who killed their father and why don't you forgive third world debt; Lumumba, contaminated milk from Nestle, they said; Agent Orange; dirty dealings by Xerox, World Bank, UN, IMF, everything run by white people. Everyday in the papers another thing! Nestle and Xerox were fine upstanding companies, the backbone of the economy, and Kissinger at least the patriot. The United States was a young country built on the finest principles, and how could it possibly owe so many bills? Enough was enough. Business was business. Your bread might as well have been left unbuttered were the butter to be spread so thin. The fittest one wins and gets the butter.
