Just think of this as a example of a wider global trend of extermination, that when the animals are gone, just think who the P.T.B will move on to next. p.s, when some1 asks you in Africa hows it hanging, say bad very bad. |
mercury2 User ID: 161235 France 11/22/2006 06:18 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Outrage As Black Journalist Says 'Thank God for Slavery' A black American author has sparked anger and controversy among black nationalists "by repudiating his African roots and thanking God his ancestor was enslaved." Keith Richburg has been shunned and insulted for daring to reject the Afro-centric idealism which is an article of faith in black America. In 'Out Of America', published in February,1997, (paperback edition now available; hardcover, 288 pages; 'Basic Books,' ISBN: 0465001874), after he spent three years reporting from Africa for the Washington Post, Mr Richburg hurls down a challenge to black American leaders to stop deceiving themselves and the 35 million (black) descendants of slaves, that Africa is Eden on earth. "I'm tired of lying,' he writes. 'And I'm tired of all the ignorance and hypocrisy and the double standards I hear and read about Africa, much of it from people who've never been there, let alone spent three years walking around amid the corpses. "Talk to me about Africa and my black roots and my kinship with my African 'brothers' and I'll throw it back in your face, and then I'll rub your nose in the images of the rotting flesh.' Richburg spent three years covering the continent's senseless violence, corruption, bloody and incessant cruelties--machete-wielding Hutu militiamen, a cholera epidemic in Zaire, famine in Somalia, civil war in Liberia, disease, dirt, dictatorships, killer children, AIDS, terror. "Had my ancestor not made it out of here,' Richburg muses, 'I might have ended up in that crowd...maybe I would have been one of those bodies, washing over the waterfall in Tanzania or maybe my son would have been set ablaze by soldiers. Or I would be limping now from the torture I received in some rancid police cell...' Afrocentrism 'has become fashionable for many blacks, Richburg notes. 'It cannot work for me. I have been here, I have lived there and seen Africa in all its horror.' Mr Richburg's every word is an assault on the group identity politics which have taken hold among black intellectuals and leads, critics say, to a Balkanisation of American society. Thinking about his slave forebear, transported in chains to the Caribbean and thence to South Carolina, Mr Richburg writes: "Thank God my ancestor got out, because, now, I am not one of them [Africans]. In short, thank God I am an American." Borders, a Washington D.C. book shop, was packed this month for a lecture by Mr Richburg at which hecklers accused him of racial betrayal. 'One man demanded to know if the author had a white girlfriend,' said Mary Ann Brownlow, who organised the lecture. When Mr Richburg appeared on a talk show on Black Entertainment Television, Randall Robinson, leader of the TransAfrica lobby group and one of America's most prominent blacks, refused to join the discussion. Jackie Clark, producer of the show, said: 'We African-Americans have this vision of Africa as the motherland which we see in this wonderful light, but people who have lived there can burst this bubble. It takes courage to say things you know are going to outrage people, but I think Richburg wishes he were white.' Out Of America is a gruesomely detailed account of barbarism and corruption across the continent, particularly in Somalia and Rwanda. The author pulls no punches in condemning it, and no...myth is spared. When sketching how his ancestor was enslaved, he says it was first 'probably by a local chieftain.' The suggestion that African blacks were slave owners is anathema in America... Mr Richburg, who is now working for the Washington Post in Hong Kong, says he is not condoning the evil of slavery, but insists that condemning it should not blind blacks to the fact that good has emerged from it..." Reviews of Richburg's 'Out of America': E.G. Long: "Africa is a painful reality. Over the past 21 years, I have lived and worked in five African countries: Kenya, Tanzania, Zambia, Zaire and Nigeria. ..There is nothing in Richburg's book that I could contradict. I too, experienced the horror, and hopelessnesss of that continent. I read 'Out of America' in one sitting... " Steve Wishnevsky: "This is the voice missing from the current race 'dialogue.' Mr. Richburg is a courageous writer and clear observer...His is an authentic voice and should be listened to closely. America is the only land where the descendants of Africans have anything approaching freedom and economic opportunity." H. Luther: "So much of what you hear about Africa lately is from people who have never been there. People who want to romanticize what is in fact chaos and disaster...Richburg has written what he has seen, he has presented reality with great integrity. It is a must read.

" MainPage [link to www.rense.com] Maybe if Africa wasnt experimented on by whites with the AIDS disease and other diseases it would be different now. Maybe if Africa wasnt raped for resources by the white powers of the world it would be different there. Maybe if Africa wasnt drained of its finest youth and strongest men during the slave trade it would be different there. Maybe if money and good intentions was pumped into Africa like European nations and Israel things would be different there. Maybe if they werent told how "sinful" and "wicked" they were by Christian missionaries things would be different there. Call someone a savage long enough and eventually they might start to believe it. Africa was given a raw deal by the rest of the world. Not using it as an excuse for Africans but they will have to try harder and overcome a lot to make Africa the great continent it can be. Africa is an extremely powerful continent in many ways. In many ways it is the MOST powerful continent of the world. And im a white man. Born and raised in the USA. But i see the truth and i must speak it. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 160888Neither do they gang rape six month olds with any regularity like those aids spreading freaks. Look what the whites have done to the North American continent as in the Native Americans. I am sure we raped and pillaged the Native Americans. The white hands are NOT clean of blood. Do you know how many blacks died on the slaved ships during the slave trade ? A conservative estimate is ELEVEN MILLION PEOPLE !!!!! And that is a conservative estimate. That is genocide. A white country is the only country on Earth to drop two nuclear weapons on people. Need i remind people of that ? White nations of enough biological, chemical and nuclear weapons to destroy all life on Earth many times over. Think about this before you call any dark skinned race "savage". White people can be just as savage if not more so. And im a white man. |

BlueDolphin User ID: 128286 United States 11/23/2006 04:30 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Yes this is horrendous and atrocious, but to single out Africa as being the heart of darkness is unfair. Children are given a raw deal the world over it seems. In North Korea there are food shortages in certain areas because of martial law limitations created by their leader. As a result, some starving people have resorted to kidnapping neighborhood children for the purpose of EATING THEM One woman's yard was dug up and the remains of over dozen children were found. In the market place , strips of jerky were being sold, some of them coming from human sources. One of the men interviewed in the article was disgusted by the practice and said he could tell which pieces of meat came from people, based upon the way the fat coagulated , he said it had a different coagulation pattern, and he avoided purchasing these strips of meat. The African selling of organs is horrifying beyond belief... but at least they aren't EATING the CHILDREN like the Koreans there's fucked up shit going on in virtually EVERY corner of the world right now... never has the world needed Love and prayer and good intentions to be spread through out it as it does now ~ ~~ <<< !!

The trans Atlantic slave trade was outlawed in 1806. Who in Africa is trying to abolish the slavery of TODAY? Is any credit ever to be given that although whites did own slaves, slavery was ended by other whites working against it in the Abolition movement? Who can live in such a simple minded world where every single evil in the WHOLE WIDE WORLD can be laid at the doorstep of the Evil White Man? |
