markellion's video: Gandhi and racism

One note I should make "Negroes" were usually ranked near the bottom of humanity by the European colonialists. So while discrimination and prejudice existed everywhere in the world and for all history a particular aversion against so called "Negroes" seems more universal in modern times. For a concrete proof of this why would the Cherokee be discriminating against members of African origin but not those of European origin? "Racism in Cherokee Native American culture" http://www.helium.com/items/455917-racism-in-cherokee-native-american-culture "The Cherokee accepted, as the Blacks had been a part of their society for quite some time, and many of them had already intermarried with "real" tribe members. Today, the Cherokee are of a different mind. They see the Blacks as undesirables forced upon them by an unfair treaty. So, they broke the treaty." "Pale native: memories of a renegade reporter" By Max du Preez http://books.google.com/books?id=9zThrIM5GhIC&pg=PA51&dq= =onepage&q=&f=false "In September 1896, Gandhi said this about the struggle of Indian South Africans: 'Ours is one continued struggle against degradation sought to be inflicted upon us by the European, who desire to degrade us to the level of the raw Kaffir, whose occupation is hunting and whose sole ambition is to collect a certain number of cattle to buy a wife with, and then pass his life in indolence and nakedness.' 1905 Clause 200 makes provision for registration of persons belonging to uncivilized races, resident and employed within the Borough. One can understand the necessity of registration of Kaffirs who will not work, but why should registration be required for indentured Indians who have become free, and for their descendants about whom the general complaint is that they work too much? 1905 Why, of all places in Johannesburg, the Indian location should be chosen for dumping down all Kaffirs of the town, passes my comprehension. Of course, under my suggestion, the Town Council must withdraw the Kaffirs from the location. About the mixing of the Kaffirs with the Indians I must confess I feel most strongly. I think it is very unfair to the Indian populations, and it is an undue tax on even the proverbial patience of my countrymen" "The Myth of Mahatma Gandhi Liberal Lies Exposed" http://www.ety.com/HRP/liberalmyths/gandhi.htm "One the anachronism of modern liberalism is that it elevates scoundrels to be heroes, and denigrates heroes into scoundrels. And when it cannot do that, liberalism simply lies. So it is the case with one of liberalism's icons, Mahatma Gandhi. All over the world, the Indian leader Gandhi is held up as an icon of peace, pacifism, tolerance and brotherly love. Statues are erected to him, his example is taught to Western schoolchildren, and Hollywood has even made a film about him. In all of these, Gandhi is portrayed as the ultimate peacemaker, the living example of multi-culturalism. Sadly, liberalism and the truth have seldom met. For in reality, Gandhi was a first class Indian racist who not only despised Blacks, but also lower caste Indians! Those who have been subjected to some conventional Gandhi propaganda will know that he was born in India, studied to become an attorney in England, spent many years organizing passive resistance in South Africa, and then returned to India to lead the passive resistance movement against British rule in that country. He was finally assassinated by one of his own kind. Gandhis opinion of a series of 1906 amendments to the Asiatic Law, No. 3 of 1885, which placed certain restrictions upon Indians in British South Africa, are also insightful as to his true views on race. Writing in his Indian Opinion newspaper on 8 June 1907, Gandhi remarked that that the law does not apply to Kaffirs and Cape Boys (7) and went on to write that one of the main concerns he had with the act, which he called an obnoxious law, was that a Kaffir police constable could detain an Indian. He wrote: At present, only the Permit Secretary is authorized to inspect a permit. Under the new Act, every Kaffir police constable can do so. Under the new Act, a Kaffir police constable can ask [an Asiatic] for particulars of name and identity, and, if not satisfied, can take him to the police station.
