On Thursday, CNN’s Anderson Cooper interviewed Oprah Winfrey and Forest Whitaker, stars of Oscar-bait The Butler. During the interview, in which Cooper thoughtfully nodded as Winfrey and Whitaker race-baited, Oprah suggested Emmitt Till and Trayvon Martin were equivalent symbols, and that Americans were racist even if they didn’t have ill will toward black people.
When Cooper cited polls showing that black Americans were upset about Trayvon Martin and whites thought too much had been made of the case, Oprah sighed, “Oh, I know, I know. That’s why I love the film in light of this discussion is because it brings context to this discussion. I mean, look at the film, beginning with that lynching scene and ending with walking into Obama’s office, look at what has happened in the span of one man’s lifetime.”
Whitaker chimed in, “This movie reminds us of the circular motion of things still trying working themselves is going on, as in Emmitt Till, and we’re looking at Trayvon, we’re looking at Oscar Grant, we’re looking at all these situations and recognizing we have to move ourselves forward with this change.” Oprah said, “Emmitt Till became a symbol for those times as Emmitt Till has become a symbol for this time. I mean, there are multiple Trayvon Martins whose names never make the newspapers or the headlines. The circumstances surrounding that allowed that to be. There were multiple Emmitt Tills, there were multiple lynchings, there were multiple young black boys whose names are not remembered and often not even recorded.”
Cooper asked, “It’s amazing to me how people from different backgrounds see this.” He then talked about a juror “who did not understand, did not feel linked to Trayvon Martin, felt connected to George Zimmerman in a way, but not Trayvon Martin, she felt race was not part of this case at all.”
Oprah couldn’t wait to jump in, blurting, “People don’t feel it’s race because people don’t call it race…A lot of people think if they think they’re not using the n-word themselves, they physically aren’t using the n-word themselves, and do not harbor ill will towards black people that it’s not racist. But to me it’s ridiculous to look at that case and not to think that race was involved.” – breitbart.com
There have been almost 1,300 racist incidents in Scottish schools in the past two years, according to figures obtained by the Liberal Democrats.
The party submitted Freedom of Information (FOI) requests to local councils and received responses from three-quarters of them.
The findings, for 2011 and 2012, showed 730 racist incidents reported in primary schools and 544 in secondaries.
The Scottish government said racism in schools would not be tolerated.
There were a total of 1,274 racist incidents reported at schools in 2011 and 2012.
Of these, 667 were recorded in 2011, with the number falling to 607 in 2012.
‘Reality check’
The figures showed Edinburgh City Council recorded 279 racist incidents in primary schools over the two years, with a further 114 incidents in secondary schools in the capital.
Scotland’s largest council, Glasgow City Council, was among the local authorities which did not provide the information requested.
Scottish Lib Dem education spokesman Liam McArthur said the statistics showed Scotland still had “a long way to go” in tackling racism.
He called on ministers to look again at how youngsters were taught about racism and prejudice.
He added: “We all want to see a fairer society where everyone has the chance to get on in life regardless of their racial or ethnic background.
“Over the past five years we have made real progress in tackling racism but the fact that progress seems to have stalled is a concern.
“I do not doubt the commitment of ministers and teachers to battling racism, but these new figures show that we have a long way to go.”
He said the figures should act as a “reality check ” and addressing these issues should start with education.
“There is a real case for looking again at how we talk to children and young people about racism and teach them that prejudice – in whatever form – is simply not acceptable,” Mr McArthur said.
A Scottish government spokeswoman said: “Racist behaviour or bullying is not acceptable and will not be tolerated in any Scottish schools.
“We expect councils and schools to tackle racist behaviour where it does occur.
“Under Curriculum for Excellence pupils will learn about different cultures and beliefs and materials to support teachers in this area are available from Education Scotland.” – BBC
A town in Switzerland is being likened to apartheid-era South Africa, after the local mayor drew up plans to ban asylum-seekers from some public places.
A new centre to house migrants has been opened in Bremgarten, 20 kilometres west of Zurich.
The proposals would see the newcomers kept away from a sports centre, the swimming pool and areas around schools, in order to preserve the peace in the town of 6,500 residents, according to the mayor, Raymond Tellenbach.
“We wanted these restrictions in order to prevent tension with residents, especially with students. It’s for their security. We want to be sure that they are not molested,” said Tellenbach.
The idea of keeping the 150 asylum-seekers living at the centre away from certain areas has drawn criticism from politicians from a wide range of parties.
“This reminds me of apartheid. This leads to two classes of citizens – those who can go everywhere and those who cannot, only because of their residence status,” said Socialist MP Silvia Schenker
Switzerland is in the racial spotlight after Oprah Winfrey accused a shop assistant in Zurich of being racist. The black American TV-star apologised later for het rant.
The American media icon, who is one of the world’s richest women, claims the shop assistant refused to show her a handbag which cost more than 26,000 euros.
The shop-owner says the incident was a misunderstanding. euronews.com
In a renewed bid to bring black players into a mostly white sport, the South African Rugby Union (Saru) will introduce a stricter racial quota system in domestic rugby.
As from next year, Vodacom Cup teams will have to field seven players of colour in their 22-man squad. According to a Sport24 report, at least five of these players will have to start the match. At least two of the seven quota players will have to be forwards.
Saru chief Oregan Hoskins is hoping that the new quota system will see more black players coming through the system and playing at the top levels of Currie Cup, Super Rugby and in Tests.
“The feeling within our organisation is that we had to step in to see more black players come through. The provinces also shared our views,” Hoskins was quoted as saying by Sport24.
“To have certain targets will show that SARU is committed towards transformation. The Vodacom Cup is of critical importance to development and it has moved away from its primary aim to provide opportunities to promising young players, especially those of colour.
“The aim is to enlarge the pool of players of colour from which Currie Cup and Super Rugby coaches can pick. Hopefully, it would then also give the Springbok coach more options,” the Saru chief said.
The DA has stripped suspended Nelson Mandela Bay Metro DA councillor, Stanford Slabbert of his party membership after a disciplinary committee found him guilty of circulating an offensive and racist e-mail, criticising President Jacob Zuma.
In the e-mail Slabbert said Zuma had more wives than brain cells.
Eastern Cape DA leader, Athol Trollip says the party followed due processes.
“There were charges brought against Cllr Slabbert. He’s been guilty on three of the four charges. They are constitutional breaches due to him circulating racist and offensive email. The sanction has been, he’s found guilty and the finding is that membership is terminated meaning no longer member of DA. He has one more avenue to follow; an appeal through federal legal commission.”
A federal judge in Georgia has thrown out race discrimination claims by a former Savannah restaurant manager whose lawsuit against Paula Deen ended up causing the celebrity cook to lose a big slice of her culinary empire.
Lisa Jackson sued Deen last year, saying she was subjected to racist attitudes during the five years she worked at a Deen restaurant, Uncle Bubba’s Seafood and Oyster House. But U.S. District Court Judge William T. Moore Jr. ruled Monday that Jackson, who is white, has no standing to sue them for race discrimination.
In his ruling, judge Moore said that though others may have allegedly faced discrimination, Jackson can’t sue since she was not one of the victims.
“While Plaintiff may have faced significant challenges in managing a workplace allegedly permeated with racial discrimination, her difficulties do not fall within the zone of interests sought to be protected by Title VII [of the Civil Rights Act of 1964] and cannot support a claim for racial discrimination under that stature,” he said, according to the court order obtained by NBC News.
“We are pleased with the court’s ruling today that Lisa Jackson’s claims of race discrimination have been dismissed,” Deen’s spokeperson Elana Weiss Rose told TODAY. “As Ms. Deen has stated before , she is confident that those who truly know how she lives her life know that she believes in equal opportunity, kindness and fairness for everyone.” – Today
Switzerland is a glamorous playground of the rich and famous, filled with glitterati from princes to movie stars. It’s also a land with a sometimes uneasy relationship with foreigners – especially when they aren’t white.
Billionaire media mogul Oprah Winfrey says she ran into Swiss racism when a clerk at Trois Pommes, a pricey Zurich boutique, refused to show her a $38,000 handbag, telling one of the world’s richest women that she wouldn’t be able to afford it. Winfrey earned $77 million in the year ending in June, according to Forbes magazine.
“She said: ‘No, no, no, you don’t want to see that one. You want to see this one. Because that one will cost too much; you will not be able to afford that,'” Winfrey, appearing on the U.S. television program “Entertainment Tonight,” quoted the clerk as saying. “And I said, ‘Well, I did really want to see that one.’ And she refused to get it.”
She brought up the incident during an interview about her new movie, “Lee Daniels’ The Butler,” which opens next week and focuses on civil rights and race relations in the U.S. She was asked to open up about her own experiences with discrimination.
Swiss tourism officials and the boutique owner were quick to offer apologies Friday.
“We are very sorry for what happened to her, of course, because we think all of our guests and clients should be treated respectfully, in a professional way,” Daniela Baer, a spokeswoman for the Swiss tourism office, told The Associated Press.
The tourism office also posted an apology on Twitter, saying, “This person acted terribly wrong.”
The newspaper Blick described the bag as a crocodile-leather Tom Ford design named for actress Jennifer Aniston, a fan of the American designer. It quoted Goetz as saying the bag was priced at 35,000 Swiss francs.
Boutique owner Trudie Goetz told Swiss public broadcaster SRF that she believed the incident was a misunderstanding when the store clerk, who is mainly an Italian speaker, explained how expensive the bag was.
“I’m very sorry about this incident,” Goetz said. “And this can only happen because of a communication problem and a misunderstanding.
“The shop assistant apparently asked her (Oprah) if she would like to see the bag, but she apparently said ‘No, I just want to look’. And then she (Oprah) asked how much the bag costs and she (the employee) told her how much the bag was.”
Goetz added that “I believe she rather said something like ‘we have some less expensive’ – ‘we also have some less expensive bags’ and not ‘it’s too expensive for you.’ “
Winfrey was in Switzerland to attend the wedding of her longtime friend Tina Turner, who has lived in Zurich for many years and has been quoted saying how much she enjoys living among the Swiss. Turner was granted a passport earlier this year, a process that typically takes years.
Goetz, who was photographed at Turner’s wedding, stressed that the Oprah incident “has nothing to do with racism – really. Tina Turner is one of my best friends and it’s out of the question (that this has anything to do with racism).”
About 23 percent of Switzerland’s 8 million residents are non-Swiss, and the country earned more than $39 billion from tourism in 2011.
Last year, though, a government-appointed commission reported that immigrants, tourists, asylum-seekers and “people of a different skin color” can encounter “xenophobia and racism in certain areas of life.”
The nationalistic Swiss People’s Party, which has the largest number of seats in the federal parliament, has won support through claims that immigrants can bring crime and social problems to a country that has been an oasis of stability even in Europe’s darkest days.
In recent years, the People’s Party has successfully campaigned to ban the construction of minarets in a country that has about 400,000 Muslims, and to tighten the nation’s asylum law. Swiss lawmakers also narrowly rejected a proposal to ban veils worn by some Muslim women in public.
And this week, a row broke out over plans to bar asylum-seekers living in the small town of Bremgarten from visiting public swimming pools and attending schools.
Human Rights Watch said the agreement by the Swiss migration office to let the town impose “house rules” to limit access to schools and sports facilities violates international law.
It wasn’t the first time Winfrey has taken issue with treatment at a ritzy European boutique. In 2005, she was turned away from a Hermes shop in Paris 15 minutes after closing time. The store said it was closed for a private event.
A Hermes executive appeared on Winfrey’s talk show to apologize for the “rigid and rude” behavior of the employee. Winfrey complimented Hermes on its response – including sensitivity training for employees – and urged viewers to buy the company’s products.
In “The Butler,” Winfrey plays the wife of a butler who is a witness to history, from the cotton fields of Georgia to the White House. It is based loosely on the career of Eugene Allen, a black man who served as a White House butler from the Eisenhower through Reagan administrations.
During the TV interview, Winfrey said that “true racism is about being able to have power over somebody else,” and that she sometimes encounters it along with sexism in boardrooms. Then she recounted the incident in Zurich while she went shopping alone.
Oprah sans make-up
“Obviously, ‘The Oprah Winfrey Show’ is not shown in Zurich. So this doesn’t happen to me unless somebody obviously doesn’t know that it’s me,” she said.
A spokesman for Zurich’s tourist office, Christian Trottmann, called the incident “very regrettable” and said it obviously hurts the image of a friendly, world-class city accustomed to different cultures.
“We are inviting her to come back to Zurich and have fun here,” he said, “so she can see how open-minded this city really is.” – AP
It has been 19 years now since the ex-European South Africans voluntarily handed over power to the black majority, and still there is no end in sight to the moral criminalization of all things white.
And there will never be!
The revisionist feel-good perception has been created that the “evil” whites stole the innocence of the cherubic blacks who were living in eternal beatitude in a pre-colonial Eden called Afro-Atlantis. Asking Beelzebub’s brood (the Afrikaner) to commit collective suicide would be counter-productive because who will be at hand to accept blame when things go awry in Mandelatopia.
The only viable solution for restoring purity to paradise would be for the white devils to build a huge Noah’s Ark, and leave the country for good. And just before they embark for heaven-knows-where, they should all kneel down and pray for forgiveness for all the times they’ve raped South Africa and, to wipe the slate completely clean, take their satanic legacy with them – like, inter alia, building up a superb infrastructure, a world-class health-care system, exceptional retail and banking sectors, and – their ultimate sin – foisting a Written Language and the Wheel on angelic Southern Africa.
To be fair, apartheid was morally warped, but didn’t the Americans, Australians and Kiwis take it one step further in history – by all but wiping out the indigenous peoples who stood in their way!?
How many Native American Indians, Aborigines and Maoris really control their own destinies in these three so-called paragons of civilization? Mind you, how many Africans in Africa can claim they live on Cloud Nine?
To drop the political correctness for one day: Africa is a bloody mess, and no civilized human being can live here anymore! How much bla bla (blame it on slavery, colonialism and apartheid) is still pending before people like Desmond Tutu finally realize that sucking on the worn-out tit of Western penance will not guarantee Africa’s survival anymore – as has been the case since the post-colonial 70s!?
And (ab)using Mandela’s legacy as a moral soap to cleanse their hands of all stains of corruption, rape, murder and mayhem will never suffice as an acceptable excuse for the 500 000 (mostly black) South Africans who have been slaughtered since the supposed champions of 21-century morality came into power in 1994.
The holier-than-thou West should take heed: the fate of the whites in South Africa will be the ultimate fate of the rest of the West – be it in 50 or 500 years.
And that will be the time when all whites will have to prostrate themselves and ask for absolution from all their sins throughout the ages… even Socrates, Einstein, Shakespeare, Gutenberg, Da Vinci and Mozart!
A complaint calling for the impeachment of Chief Justice Mogoeng Mogoeng is an attack on the transformation of the judiciary, the Black Lawyers’ Association said on Thursday.
“There are clearly well-orchestrated campaigns which are galvanised and aimed at bringing down the Constitution’s clearly articulated imperatives,” spokeswoman Hlaleleni Kathleen Dlepu said in a statement.
On Tuesday, the Institute for Accountability said its director Paul Hoffman SC laid the complaint in response to a speech Mogoeng made to Advocates for Transformation last month.
The complaint included allegations of contempt of court and attempting to defeat the ends of justice, which could be construed as gross misconduct.
The institute said this could be grounds to justify Mogoeng’s impeachment.
In his speech, Mogoeng questioned critics who complained when a white male candidate was not recommended for appointment to the Bench, while those who were appointed were described as “executive toys”.
Dlepu said the organisations which wanted Mogoeng removed were intent on undermining the judicial system, which could create a negative international perception of South Africa.
“The barrage of criticism against the person of the office and person of the chief justice are baseless, unfounded, without merit and falls to be rejected.”
The Judicial Service Commission said on Tuesday that it had received the complaint against Mogoeng.
“The complaint will be dealt with by the judicial conduct committee,” spokesman Sello Chiloane said.
“The chief justice is one of those judges on the committee, and because the matter involves him, they will have to consider how to deal with it. They will handle it in terms of their own processes.” – Sapa
The Citizen reports that the South African minister of police will have to cough up for the damages sustained by a Nelspruit man when he was arrested for no reason, shot with rubber bullets, assaulted and belittled as a “white bastard”
In terms of a settlement agreement in the North Gauteng High Court the minister of police accepted full liability for the damages sustained by Jan Lodewyk Coetzee, 39.
Coetzee is claiming over R870 000 for his ordeal at the hands of the police in February 2011, but the amount that must be paid will only be determined later.
Coetzee said in a statement the incident started when a fellow employee at a towing service parked one of the tow-trucks in front of his house without permission.
After repeatedly asking colleagues to remove the tow-truck, Coetzee and his father-in-law dragged the truck into the garage and locked it up.
When his colleague later arrived to fetch the truck, Coetzee’s father-in-law jokingly said he first had to pay R4 000 for storage, resulting in a huge argument.
Coetzee said he was busy with a birthday braai and wasn’t part of the discussion.
Later that night his boss and colleague arrived with about 12 heavily armed policemen dressed in combat clothing and bulletproof vests.
When the police wanted to force the garage open Coetzee asked if they had a warrant, where upon pepper spray was sprayed into his eyes.
His boss told him he was going to get hurt that night. Two policemen then opened fire on him with shotguns.
They kept on firing at him even when he turned around. They then sprayed pepper spray into his face again before throwing him into the police van, despite the fact that he was bleeding profusely.
At the police station he was hit and kicked by policemen who kept on shouting that he was a “white bastard”.
He was later taken to hospital, where he was handcuffed to his bed and guarded by nine policemen for four days, but no charges were ever laid against him.
Coetzee said he had been shot nine times. Some of the wounds never healed, he couldn’t straighten his left leg and he suffered from chronic headaches.
He battled to sleep, was nervous the whole time and became so aggressive after the incident that his wife insisted he needed counselling. – The Citizen.co.za
The scene in Green Bay where police officers Brian Thole and Shawn Powell used the ‘N word’
The Minneapolis Police Department has been under the microscope after two separate incidences of officer-involved altercations laced with racial slurs came to light. Now, the former police chief is speaking out.
The videos out of Green Bay, Wis., and Apple Valley, Minn., have rocked the department and city leaders. In both, off-duty officers can be seen and heard as they fight and use racial epithets in heated altercations.
“It makes the department look bad,” said Tim Dolan, former police chief for the Minneapolis Police Department. “It makes the profession look bad.”
Dolan found the behavior so troubling, he penned a letter to the editor of the Star Tribune over the weekend. In it, he wrote, “As I often told officers in the past, there will be days when you will be less proud of putting on the uniform of the Minneapolis Police Department.”
“The recent incidents reported should embarrass and concern anyone who has worn a uniform,” he continued.
Dolan led the department for six years. Last year, he retired and passed the baton to Janee Harteau.
“I used to say the job was easy except for personnel issues,” Dolan recalled. “Personnel issues are the toughest to deal with, especially with race involved.”
When asked whether there is a problem with racism within the department, Dolan replied: “Racism is everywhere.”
“People say there isn’t racism,” he said. “They are not living in reality.”
The cases have sparked outrage in every corner of the city, particularly in neighborhoods where the majority of residents are African American.
“As a member of the community — the last couple years, I began trusting police here,” Darrel Young told FOX 9 News. “To see that… it was a hard to swallow.”
While Harteau cannot comment on specific individuals and punishments, she made it clear she was “appalled” by what she saw in the videos appearing on the local news. She has insisted that there is no place for racism or discrimination in the department and has vowed to reach out to cultural and faith leaders in the community, including Bishop Richard Howell, in an effort to rebuild trust.
“I think the time for conversation is now,” Howell said. “Let’s not let this thing get out of hand.”
On Sunday, the Minneapolis Police Federation also signaled its interest in being a part of the solution, with the union president releasing a statement that echoed Harteau’s sentiments after illustrated a desire to be included in discussions with community leaders.
“On behalf of our 850 members, we agree 100% with Chief Janee Harteau that each and every officer in MPD has taken an oath of office and is required to live by the Law Enforcement Code of Ethics. We take that oath and the code very seriously,” Lt. John Delmonico wrote. “The overwhelming majority of MPD officers work hard every day to earn the public’s respect and trust. We must impartially enforce the law without discriminating against any citizen based on their race, sexual orientation, religion or national origin. There is no place in MPD for racist and bigoted officers.”
Dolan said while it is tough to weed out the “bad apples,” he believes union cooperation will be crucial going forward.
“The union can make some concessions which might help in terms of how far you can control off-duty behavior,” Dolan said. “They do play an important role.” – KMSP-TV
The success of British Prime Minister David Cameron’s flagship immigration policy was called into serious question on Sunday, dealing him a potential blow ahead of 2015 elections by playing into the hands of a populist anti-immigration party.
A report by lawmakers from across the political spectrum concluded that Britain’s migration statistics were grossly unreliable and “not fit” for purpose, undermining the credibility of Cameron’s assertions about the issue.
Immigration is a hot button issue in Britain, where Cameron is trying to stop an exodus of voters to the UK Independence Party (UKIP) before a parliamentary election in two years’ time, and polls show the issue is one that worries voters the most.
Concerns have been fuelled by warnings in the right-leaning press about “hordes” of Romanians and Bulgarians moving to Britain next year when EU freedom of movement restrictions lapse, at a time when Britons face rising competition for jobs.
To compound Cameron’s problems on immigration, a government pilot scheme that involves vans driving around London with billboards telling illegal immigrants to “go home or face arrest” has angered his junior coalition partner, the Liberal Democrats, and prompted allegations of racism.
Questioning immigration was for years regarded as racist in Britain, but all three main parties have started to talk tough about the subject in response to rising public anxiety, campaigns in the country’s popular tabloid press, and the popularity of the anti-immigration UKIP.
Cameron’s ruling Conservatives, who are trailing the opposition Labour party in the polls, have promised a far-reaching immigration crackdown and say they have cut net migration – the numerical difference between people coming in and out of the country – by a third.
They have also pledged to cut that figure to tens of thousands of people a year from over 100,000 now.
Data ‘too uncertain’
But the report, by the lower house of parliament’s Public Administration Committee, said that government migration data was neither systematically nor rigorously collected.
“We are struck by the advice of the Migration Advisory Committee to the Government that it should aim for net migration of only 50,000 as the only means of being certain that net migration is in fact below 100,000,” it said.
Bernard Jenkin, a Conservative lawmaker who oversaw the report, told local media government statistics were “little better than a best guess and could be out by tens of thousands.”
Chris Bryant, a Labour lawmaker, said the report showed the government’s assertions on immigration could not be trusted.
“We should be able to count people in and out of this country,” he told Sky TV. “If the government is going to boast about having cut net migration then you would think that the statistics would be reliable ones. The truth is they’re not.”
Cameron’s Conservatives are trailing Labour in the polls, but several surveys show Labour’s lead, which until recently had been fairly steady at ten percentage points, is narrowing.
One opinion poll published earlier this month put the Conservatives in joint first place with Labour for the first time in over a year.
UKIP, which campaigns for Britain to leave the European Union and for a halt to “open door immigration,” made sweeping gains in May local elections, winning almost one in four votes.
But its poll rating has since fallen from a high of 22 percent. Some polls suggest it has lost one or two percentage points. Others suggest its fall in support may be more serious.
A spokesman for Britain’s Home Office (interior ministry) said the government was confident it was on the right track.
“We disagree with the report’s conclusions,” he said. “Government reforms on immigration are working and the statistics do show that net migration is at its lowest level for a decade.” – Reuters
Italy’s first black minister, a target of racist slurs since her appointment in April, has condemned a spectator who threw bananas towards her while she was making a speech at a party rally.
Integration minister Cecile Kyenge, who was born in Democratic Republic of Congo, has angered far-right groups with her campaign to make it easier for immigrants to gain Italian citizenship.
Shortly before the incident on Friday, members of the right-wing Forza Nuova group left mannequins covered in fake blood at the site of the rally in Cervia, central Italy, in protest against Kyenge’s proposal to make anyone born on Italian soil a citizen.
“Immigration kills,” was written on leaflets accompanying the dummies – a slogan Forza Nuova has previously used when referring to murders committed by immigrants in Italy.
Although the bananas missed the stage where Kyenge was speaking, she responded to the gesture on Twitter, calling it “sad” and a waste of food, considering the economic crisis.
“The courage and optimism to change things has to come above all from the bottom up to reach the institutions,” she added.
Kyenge has faced regular insults since becoming minister, often from other politicians. Earlier this month a senior parliamentarian in the anti-immigration Northern League party likened her to an orangutan and only apologized after a storm of criticism. – Reuters

In a recent interview with MNBC, the black Georgetown University professor Michael Eric Dyson had the following to say in lieu of the Trayvon Martin case:
“White people will not understand racism until their children are murdered… Not until, and unless, the number of white kids die that approximate the numbers of black and other kids who have died will America see it is beyond logic, it is beyond rationality…”
And right he has. It is indeed “beyond logic and rationality” why so many blacks are killed in America – the supposed multi-culti paradise on planet Earth.
The only problem is that it is blacks killing blacks… not whites killing blacks!
Of the 7000 black Americans who died violently in 2012, 92% died at the hands of fellow blacks. This is just a fact. This is not a “racist” fact.
As is the fact that black Americans kill other Americans at a rate 10 times higher than that of white and Hispanic Americans combined. As is the fact that black Americans commit 50% of all the murders in America, although they only comprise 12% of the total population of America.
These are just facts. They are not “racist” facts!
What is indeed “racist” about these facts, is the fact that white Americans don’t kill white Americans at the same rate as black Americans kill black Americans – or Hispanic Americans kill Hispanic Americans, for that matter.
And the exact same applies to South Africa. It is black South Africans killing black South Africans at a world-record rate… and black South Africans killing white South Africans at the exact same world-record rate – and even at a higher rate when it comes to white farmers.
Meaning that there is one (easily identifiable and scientifically verifiable) common denominator when it comes to determining which race is responsible for the above-mentioned horror.
Blacks.
And this is exactly why Dyson is right when he stated that “… it is beyond logic, it is beyond rationality (that)…White people will not understand racism until their children are murdered”.
For white people living in 21st-century Western countries are indeed flabbergasted by this wanton slaughter of blacks by blacks… in 21st-century Western countries!
Let us be brutally honest here; white areas during Apartheid had the same murder-rate as (comparable) Western countries at the time. I.e. it was just as safe in white areas during Apartheid as it was in, for example, white areas in England, Switzerland, Austria, Sweden, Germany, America, et cetera.
Ergo, you cannot compare apples to pears… hence Dyson`s despair.
For if you see everything through the prismon of equality (see my previous column), you will, inevitably, stub your toes bloody on the border separating that which is “logical and rational” from that which is “illogical and irrational”.
And this is exactly why the notion of (a) White Genocide is derided in Mandelatopia. For we (whites) are being killed at the exact same rate as blacks killing blacks. Meaning we are all truly equal now in Mandelatopia… even in (violent) Death.
As if being slaughtered at the same rate as blacks – slaughtered by fellow blacks – is somehow “positive”… because we are all being slaughtered equally now – all according to that multi-culti (moral) dictum which has elevated the Xhosa goat herder called Mandela to (a) God in South Africa…and globally.
All equal in life and death – precisely as god-man Mandela wanted it. All precisely according to Dyson`s despair… his desperate cry of “racism”.
For “racism” has become a metonym for come-down-to-our-level. Dyson`s cry is, in effect, nothing more than a desperate call (on the part of blacks, worldwide) to accept their brutally primitive pre-Neolithic (moral) dictates.
Be that as it may; it suffices to say that I, for one, will not heed this call!
I, as a Child of the Enlightenment, deserve and demand, more from Life.
Just ask yourself the following simple question; who brought/enacted democracy and human rights to/in South Africa… or America, England, Sweden, Australia, et cetera.
We, the Westerners, did. Nobody else.
Be that as it may; we Westerners are definitely not perfect – a fact none of us can ever plausibly deny. But we sure as hell do not deserve that which is being dealt out by blacks, globally, at our expense!
South Africa (Mandelatopia) has become a Bantustan. We have been (psychologically) socially-engineered to simply accept being “equal” in every aspect… be it (in) Life or Death. There is no denying this fact. The prismon of equality is merciless.
We, as Westerners in Mandelatopia, can therefore either integrate (i.e. become black), or demand our God-given right to live according to the (moral) dictates that have characterized our (absolutely unique) civilization.
The former, i.e. becoming pre-Neolithic – plastered (over) with a Zeitgeist-bound feel-good MSM/-popular culture-driven bling bling White Guilt white-liberal The End of History neo-liberal Western façade – has never been an option for me… for, as a famous French thinker said:
Everyone has a limit, beyond which she or he will no longer acquiesce in their own oppression. (Albert Camus)
