What is about rich African billionaires that makes Westerners so uncomfortable as to render these Africans connected to "blood money"? I don't see the outrage about Bush's daughter being on national television as a special correspondent despite her father being a known torturer and evader of international human rights? Nor do I see outrage about performers who perform in Miami or Orlando despite Florida creating racist institutions that tolerate the murder of black men. But, there's a problem for a performer to perform in Nigeria? Or to date an African millionaire? Certainly the wealth of some Americans stems from the fruits of slavery and Jim Crow?

People from a country founded on slavery and murder should save their morally righteous arguments about the goings-on in Africa. This article is merely one example of how embedded this faulty way of thinking is.
