These wazungus need to go back to their own country. We have many extremely educated, talented Kenyans (more than those whites by FAR) who can do a better job than their silly NGOs, minus the superiority complex. These people humiliate us when we go to embassies looking for a visa, so the same treatment should be meted upon them. If they fail to comply with our rules, then they should be deported after serving time in our jails. White people are not anymore special than blacks despite how they portray themselves. I believe Europeans are trying to get a foothold in Kenya coz their countries have been taken over by people who come from ISIS land. :D:D
Kenya tunaendelea kusonga mbele, this country and its hardworking people amaze me for real. When I was a college student in the US, I volunteered to come here for a mission trip. We were about 20 people in total, all whites, I was the only Kenyan in the group. In the evening, we would stay at Norfolk Hotel. Come dinner time people would be chatting about their day. With time, I started getting annoyed at how they were talking about the disgusting toilets, the flies everywhere, the rotten smells. Was the suffering and poverty all fun and games to these folks?? They had this aura of power, prancing around the locals like gods, it was horrible. I didn’t complete the “mission work” because as the days went on, one thing was very clear. They could do more for the people they were claiming to help, but it’s like they were there only to spectate. One of the ladies in charge of the group had the nerve to send me hate email bemoaning the fact that I had abandoned them, but I didn’t care. The whole thing was a sham, a total waste of time. The govt should kick these Western NGOs out with their overpaid, underworked “expats.” After all, there are millions of refugees from the Middle East that they could be helping back in their home countries.

I noticed the same thing with Madonna’s tone on twitter recently after she visited Kenya. The white savior stereotype is embedded in the minds of whites and sadly Africans.

I’m very aware of that. And I remember reading how charities in the US raised half the GDP of Haiti in 2011 following the earthquake yet none of the money made it to Haiti. Most of the money was spent in the US as 'administrative costs".

I watched a documentary on Haiti yesterday. That country is full of problems.
