It's not directed at all Africans who are not guilty of it.

Well, I think I need to edit it to avoid further misconceptions, because you are the second person who misunderstood that "fools" as the general personality of Africans, No.

Yeah, that's kind of what I figured as you're not the type of member I'd typically associate with insulting an entire continent of people. 

Isn't it always the super-wealthy and super-powerful groups of people that beat down the citizens of their own countries?  That's a rhetorical question, of course--and it should be obvious to anyone paying attention to what's going on in the world that the phenomenon isn't exclusive to Africa (although the level of poverty alone shows that many countries in Africa have been beaten down harder than a lot of others, and that's sickening).
