...hangs over the village of Nyarubuye, overpowering the scent of the surrounding eucalyptus trees. Their leaves, rustling in the wind, are all that moves. In the cool of the parish church, a body lies between the rough wooden pews, its skull split from crown to forehead by a machete blade. Outside, a mother and child, caught from behind by screaming Hutu militia, lie face down in the flowers, locked in a pitiful final embrace. Farther away, in a low mission building, 400 more bodies are piled on one another, the rooms thick with the stench of rotting flesh. One woman...

With two knives grabbed from the kitchen, the assailants hacked at their victims' throats, chests and arms so savagely that a knife blade was broken.

"It was remarkable," said a crewman aboard a nearby helicopter. "They just sat there as the RPGS whistled around them." Only when his men had slid to safety did Jollota begin limping back to base...
...should have. But the recent reaction to the demagoguery of Minister Louis Farrakhan is part of a larger, very American fear of black hate. This is a phantom dreamed up by people who knew what slavery ought to have created long before Nat Turner struck out with his heartless blade. Black hate, though, is only a new wrinkle in the increasingly negative portrayal of blacks as a whole. Since the Reagan Administration's rollback of civil rights, African Americans have consistently been brought to the American public as predators -- street thugs and welfare hustlers, inveterate whiners, cynical, pathological.
