Chris,
I agreed with your sentiments until you attacked the Nilotes and became tribalistic.
I thought the election of 44th President of the United States and Raila as the Prime Minister of Kenya by non-Nilotes ended this tribalistic big stereotype paint brush tendency.
Am I also hearing you saying that: -Luhyas are not leaders but shamba boys, housewives and watchmen? That Kikuyus are murderes, thieves and prostitutes? Kambas are only good in bed? That coast people are dumb and only know how to drink ‘kahawa thungu?’ That Kelenjins are not leaders but cattle rustlers?
If your point was that Raila blundered, and ended there, that would have been a fair criticism.
He did not do it because he is a Luo.

Chris,
http://kumekucha.blogspot.com/2010/02/stereotyping-is-detestable-but-hey-look.html
First, I give you credit for being human enough to realize that what you said in your earlier post was wrong, even though you only admit partially. Please, be a Kenyan Mzalendo and apologize to the Nilotes today.
Next I apologize if I say something here that is already said by others. I tend to write before I read other comments so that I am not biased in my thoughts.
Now, there are certain things that are wrong no matter how when or where you say them.
One, your reaction to the lady ‘barber’ is normal but abnormal to report. In Psychiatry, it is called trotage. If your sister did what she did, would you get a hard-on? It is because you’d tune off. I bet when you saw this woman, your G-spot was already exited and touching you was just the icing on your cake! You see Chris the biggest sex organ is the mind, and for this, yours is sharper than mine. I get full body massages from very beautiful women and I am able to control my thoughts to avoid embarassing erections.
Two, here in America, there is something called racial profiling and it is wrong no matter how you look at it. Even though most suicide bombers are Arabs, there are many many more Arabs that we do not hear about who are good people. Likewise not all Nigerians are conmen or drug traffickers, not all kikuyus are thugs and not all Luos love a flushy lifestyle.
Raila did not necessarily love his motorcade and outriders the way you put it, but if you remember, it was a sign for Wanjiku, Otieno, you and I, that the National accord was being implimented. I do not see you critisize Kalonzo for being lured with the trappings of VP position which he really did not deserve. Is it because Kalonzo is not a Luo, so it is not obvious to your tribal mind that Kibaki lured him with a position and trapings that come with VP position? Is Raila not a human politician as compared to Kalonzo?
Now do not give too much credit to Kibaki on this out-foxing non-sense for we have not seen the end of it yet. He simply is capitalizing on this ‘Raila blunder.’
Come on, if Raila ‘blundered’ in suspending Ruto & Ongeri, he blundered because he is Raila, and not a Luo.
So go wash your hands, mouth and mind with soap, and then continue writing your blog, which indeed we take more as a tabloid and entertainment than news or political analysis.
