Kragen is right. "Big White Friendly Brother" was obviously race-baiting, and the first sentence of your comment was both acerbic and gratuitous—exactly what we don't want here.
We ban accounts that post flamebait, whether racial or otherwise, so please don't do this again. If you'd instead read https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and really take the spirit of this site to heart, we'd appreciate it. As you'll see, it means a lot more than editing flamebait out, though that's definitely required.

OK, I can understand how it can be taken the wrong way but for the record it was a nod to the "white savior complex", rather than an attempt to insult Kenyans.
