ties between "The Family" and Uganda
This is a little bit of what came up in a quick search. I don't remember where I saw the original news story that informed me.
In wikipedia- scroll down to The Fellowship and Uganda-

The prsident's reaction was to criticize the bill at the National Prayer Breakfast put on by The Family. I don't think he should have attended at all.

doest look very convincing to me, ...The Fellowship and Uganda
The Fellowship, through Representative Joe Pitts (R.-Pa.), redirected millions in US aid to Uganda from sex education programs to abstinence programs, thereby causing an evangelical revival, which included condom burnings.
In a November 2009 NPR interview, Sharlet alleged that Ugandan Fellowship associates David Bahati and Nsaba Buturo were behind the recent proposed bill in Uganda that called for the death penalty for gays.[73]
Sharlet reveals that David Bahati, the Uganda legislator backing the bill, reportedly first floated the idea of executing gays during The Family's Uganda National Prayer Breakfast in 2008.[74] Sharlet described Bahati as a "rising star" in the Fellowship who has attended the National Prayer Breakfast in the United States and, until the news over the gay execution law broke, was scheduled to attend the 2010 U.S. National Prayer Breakfast.[74]
Fellowship member Bob Hunter gave an interview to NPR in December 2009 in which he acknowledged Bahati's connection but argued that no American associates support the bill.[75]
President Barack Obama, in his address to the Fellowship at their National Prayer Breakfast in early 2010, directly criticized the Uganda legislation targeting gay people for execution. In calling for a renewed emphasis on faith and civility, Obama stated, "We may disagree about gay marriage, but surely we can agree that it is unconscionable to target gays and lesbians for who they are — whether it's here in the United States or, as Hillary [Clinton] mentioned, more extremely in odious laws that are being proposed most recently in Uganda."[76]

It has to do with education -- a lot of them haven't received one and hold some pretty weird ideas. A lot of them are a mix of Christian with some crazy African beliefs mixed in them. Point is that a lot of them are superstitous, e.g. having sex with a virgin will clear you from AIDS/HIV, etc....why do the black Africans are so intolerant?
A lot of them are dirt-poor, and don't know any better -- they place all their trust is so-called "witches" and their potions.
Trust me, Africa can be a really (*)(*)(*)(*)ed up continent in general.
Some even hunt down so-called "albino's" to put them into potions and sell them as cure for all sort of things...
beheadings, etc.
Really CRAZY (*)(*)(*)(*) going on in Africa! You couldn't even made it up!

an other link.
Sorry about that. I had about five minutes to find something. If you look up Jeff Sharlet on the topic there is a lot more. He has done a lot of research. Anyway, here's a link to an interview with him. He goes through some of his sources.

18 years prison for murder. Quite light sentences don't you think? In America these men would have been executed.

When it comes to atrocities nobody can match us europeans. Who makes all of the weapons of mass destruction? Africa?

Why don't you google the murder and rape rates generally and tell me if you still conclude that the whites are the ones who suffer most.
