More Wisdom

Some people have learned very little. The same sort of thing that precipitated riots in LA in 1965, or Detroit and Newark in 1967, were allowed to be repeated in Ferguson in 2014. But I am glad that YOUNG people in Ferguson and elsewhere (including some of my students) are becoming conscientized and socially active again. We may be on the verge of a new MOVEMENT for social justice. -Savant

Meanwhile, AMERICA is a white racist cesspool of plutocratic corruption. I certainly will not romanticize Europe given its ugly record of colonialism. But the ugly record of American racist imperialism hardly gives this "land of the free and home of the brave" any special honors either. Oh, and let's not forget that the French helped save George Washington's a____ at Yorktown....as did a fourth of his troops who were AFRICAN AMERICANS--naively believing that they would win their freedom while dying for the "liberty " of white America. -Savant

 There are African Americans who have negative attitudes towards Africans, and Africans who have negative attitudes towards Africans. Anyone reading just THIS THREAD can see that. But there are other African Americans and Africans who are much more progressive in their thinking. I count myself in the company of the latter. Hence I despise Chief Buthelezi for the same reason I despise Clarence Thomas--for being a bootlicker and a traitor. But the African people as a whole, like my fellow African Americans, I love as my Black brothers and sister. -Savant

 The "European people" are not a monolith. There are enlightened and progressive Europeans who are opposed to racism--be it American or European racism---who actually believe in democracy and human rights as more than catch phrases. And there are others like the racists, and the racists' heroes Hitler, Himmler, Merkel and the loons of the National Front who think that human rights belongs only to "their" race or to their nation. Same thing we find among your white cousins here. Hence some whites RALLY in solidarity with us whether in Mississippi in 1964, or Ferguson in 2014. And some American cretins, like their cretinized racist European kindred, rally to the banner of racism, of barbarism and tyranny. Some Europeans opposed colonialism and imperialism, others did not. Same here. Both in Europe and America the struggle against racism and plutocracy is becoming, as Wendell Phillips described the fight against slavery, a "struggle of civilization against barbarism." The fight against racism and plutocracy is a fight against barbarism. -Savant

 If you are speaking of white AmeriKKKans, then you're quite correct. But as you know, I distinguish between them and those who oppose the lunacy. I think it's the same in your country and in other European countries. A fight between civilization and barbarism. By the way, you ought to take a look specifically on the chapter on Angela Davis that appears in the book, DREAMING IN FRENCH.

 Well, you will never hear these racists say that indiscriminate police violence and repression against WHITES are ok on account of white crime, In fact, white racists don't seem to worry about white crime, only black crime--despite the fact that 87% of all crimes COMMITTED against whites are committed by whites. Native Americans are the only group in which most victims of crime are victimized by somebody outside their group. Nonetheless, we don't stress white crime. We get pissed about WHITE RACISM and white privilege, which idiots like OhReallyStupid believe to be "propaganda " --immense research findings even by whites scholars to the contrary notwithstanding.

 Strange that not only tons of evidence by scholars (black,white and other)repeatedly support my analyses, and UN committees on human rights, Amnesty International and other reports basically support the essence of my analysis, but somehow it is I, not OhSmelly, who can't discern evidence. Research REPEATEDLY supports our claims about judicial racism, racism and brutality of the police, continuing racism in the JOB market, and so forth--but it is WE who are delusional. And much of the supporting evidence actually come from WHITE scholars and researchers, both in America and Europe.
