AFRICAN, AVARICIOUS AND ABSOLUTELY ASININE!

By Stanley Collymore

I hadn’t planned on giving you this detailed information but changed my mind to shame all those that have a problem with all things African and those that carry the African skin colour, and most particularly those within the ranks of the black Diaspora itself who are either too arrogant, dumb, brainwashed or bone idled to check out the facts for themselves, so I’ll summarize them here and if you then care to you can obtain a much more detailed account by Googling “The Black Queen of England; but whether or not you do so it’s not going to change reality one iota. So here are the facts.

Princess Sophie Charlotte who lawfully and biologically carried that title was born on May the 19, 1744, the eight child of the Prince of Mirow, Germany, Charles Louis Fredrick and his wife Elisabeth Albertina of Saxe-Hildburghausen. She lost her father when she was eight years old. A princess of Mecklenburg-Strelitz, Sophie Charlotte was descended directly, as I said earlier, from an African branch of the Portuguese Royal House, Margarita de Castro y Sousa and six different lines can be traced from Princes Sophie Charlotte back to Margarita de Castro y Sousa.

Other facts relating to Princess Sophie Charlotte:

1) She married George III of England on the 8 September 1761, aged 17 years old becoming the Queen of England and Ireland. It was a love match on both their parts that lasted throughout the entire married life of the couple.

2) An indication of George’s feeling towards his wife was clearly demonstrated by the fact that he bought Buckingham House for her in 1761 to be used as a comfortable family home for her next to St. James’s Palace, the same residence that would be upgraded Buckingham Palace and would become the official home of all future English monarchs. More details on this can be got from the British Royal website.

3) King George III and Queen Sophie Charlotte had 15 children together, 13 of whom survived to adulthood. Their fourth eldest son was Edward Augustus: born 2 November 1767 and died 23 January 1820, who became Duke of Kent and was the father of the legendary Queen Victoria of England.

4) Queen Sophie Charlotte is the great great great grandmother of Queen Elizabeth II the present Queen of England who lives in the expanded Buckingham House that globally is well renowned as Buckingham Palace. Queen Sophie Charlotte died at Dutch House in Surrey, now Kew palace in the presence of her oldest son the Prince Regent and is buried at St. George’s Chapel Windsor. Queen Sophie Charlotte made many contributions to Britain; hare are some of them:

A) Although portraits painters of the royal family were expected to play down or soften Queen Charlotte’s African features as this was a time when slavery was prevalent and the anti-slavery campaign was beginning to take off, one portrait painter Sir Allan Ramsay refused to play ball. He made many portraits of the Queen as she really was and her coronation painting by him was sent out to the colonies, now the Commonwealth, and played a most subtle, political role in the anti-slavery movement.

B) Queen Sophie Charlotte was well educated, well read and had a deep interest in fine arts and affairs of the time. She sponsored and was taught music by Johann Christian Bach and was very generous to his wife financially after he died. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart dedicated his Opus 3 piece written when he was only 8 years old to this amazing Queen.

C) An amateur botanist Queen Sophie Charlotte was very instrumental in establishing the world famous botanical Kew Gardens in England.

D) In 1800 she introduced the Christmas tree to England, the first person ever to do so which is now a very well-established custom almost 211 years on at Christmas time in the UK with every household and public building across the country still decorated with lights and shiny objects as Queen Charlotte first did with her own Christmas tree back then.

E) The Queen Charlotte Maternity Hospital is located in London and has been there since 1739. Set up by the Queen herself as a charitable institution it is the oldest maternity care institution in England.

F) Many places around the former English and British Empire still carry Queen Charlotte’s name in acknowledgement and honour of her globally; among these are Charlotte Town in Canada and Fort Charlotte in St Vincent, the West Indies.

G) In 2004 Queen Elizabeth II of England authorized an exhibition of Queen Charlotte and King George III’s collection and tastes in arts. Significantly real life portraits of this outstanding black Queen of England are no longer through racist tendencies circumscribed in the UK although the English school curriculum which proselytizes a diet of the Norman invasion of 1066 and World War II to everything else still has a lot of catching up to do, as do the British print and electronic media who are largely ignorant of the black racial mix of the British Royal Family and those of every other European royal family taking into account alone that Queen Victoria of England the granddaughter of Queen Charlotte married her own sizeable brood of children and their offspring into every European royal and aristocratic family, for all that though I can assure you that there’d be substantial anguish, resentment and hostility not only from those within the English media but equally the English political elite (all the way down from No.10 Downing Street), their numerous flunkies and the hidebound and reactionary chattering classes if a contemporary British royal and one who was particularly close to the throne were to follow the lead of their ancestors and marry a black spouse; after all just look at what happened to Princess Diana and her Arab Muslim lover Dodi and she wasn’t even in line to the English throne.

H) Finally and interestingly enough Queen Sophie Charlotte would also have been Queen of the North American colonies and all the indications from letters to her oldest brother Charles, Grand Duke of Mecklenburg-Strelitz, who was also her closest confidante indicate that she favoured the 13 colonies achieving their independence or at the very least control of their domestic affairs, but well known to be interested in the war in America she extraordinarily and quite revolutionary for the time set the royal stage that others including the present Queen Elizabeth II would follow of being the archetypal constitutional monarch by not speaking out publicly at least on exceedingly delicate political matters. In one letter to her brother and which sums up the position she took she wrote: “I find that the solitary and retiring life which I lead is not for me. Having admitted this I assure you I shall not ignore my duty.” A highly intelligent and well-informed Lady for whom it must have been hard to have to put protocol and diplomacy before gut feelings Queen Charlotte for all that was nobody’s fool. Eternal peace be upon her; and may God graciously rest her soul!

Now having morphed since then into the United States of America the former North American colonies have a contemporary African monarch, or more specifically since the US is an empire an emperor who despite his evident ancestry none the less despises everything African because by doing so it comfortably fits into the stereotypical white narrative that he has bought into that nothing good either has or can come out of the dark continent and everything of importance that has been or is connected with it is due entirely to the beneficence of the white man, never mind the plethora of well-documented evidence that there is to the contrary if one would only care to look for it. So a penniless Irishman feeling poverty and starvation in his own country in the mid 19th Century is infinitely more important and symbolic than a black graduate Kenyan father that survived the harsh ravages of British colonialism also made it to the United States and did well for himself by any measure of calculation.

Kenya has its problems just like all other developing countries do and particularly those that are in Africa that post independence, which many of them had to physically fight for, are still doing their best to shake off, everything from the depredation of slavery and colonialism to the colossal injustices instituted by the terrible decisions made at the 1884 Berlin Conference when European countries arbitrarily carved up Africa among themselves studiously and contemptuously ignoring the niceties of consulting the people there or taking any cognizance of cultural, linguistic, ethnic groupings or religion for example while doing so, a premeditated and callous act that was always going to be a recipe for disaster for Africa and its people. For instance the people of North Kenya although officially Kenyans see themselves as Somali and readily identify with the people across the border in Somalia, quite understandably so because they are ethnically Somali whose country was subjected to this 1884 European dismantlement of their land that overnight had succeeded in turning them into something they were not, namely Kenyans, or even sought their opinion about. It’s a situation that was ruthlessly duplicated across the African Continent by virtue of the Berlin Conference and across the entire Middle East as a consequence of the Sikes-Picot Agreement of 1916; and I suggest that you Google both these occurrences.

On the 21 January 1918 the people of Ireland voted overwhelmingly to have their country back and be free of Britain, the Westminster government however refused to respect that referendum, held on to six counties in the north of Ireland which it called Ulster, effectively partitioning the island, and immediately set in train a series of events which became the catalyst that eventually lead to decades of civil war and horrific acts of terrorism which still plague the Emerald Isle to this day, in spite of the brokered and much vaunted Good Friday Peace Agreement between the Nationalists and the Loyalists. So for your elucidation Barack Ireland’s problems are not in the least unlike those of your biological father’s birth country Kenya, problems whose genesis are directly down to British imperialist meddling in both these country’s affairs; and to be truthful you’re more likely to be blown up in Ireland than you would be in Kenya where all its citizens enthusiastically rejoiced and were over the moon when you got elected President of the United States and their government even in equal jubilation declared your inauguration day a national public holiday. I don’t recall that happening in Ireland, and I wouldn’t have imagined the Irish government ever considering it necessary to venerate you and mark your success in this or any other way then. Therefore, the only reason that you’re steering clear of Kenya while preferring Ireland is because you’re a closet racist: an embarrassingly brainwashed, half-breed, black male raised by a Caucasian mother with a penchant for non-white men, probably sexually motivated, but no correspondingly real interest in real equality of the races and who along with her mother imbued you with a stereotypical white superiority complex.

Furthermore, it’s over a year since Belgium had elections and there’s still no government there or the prospect of one emerging any time soon; a Guinness Book of Records record. Belgium, and I don’t know if you’re aware of this Barack as the great majority of Americans are pretty ignorant of most things outside their country’s physical borders, is the capital of the EU; that entity which has sycophantically shoved its head so far up the backside of the United States that I’m surprised its constituent members are still able to breathe from having done so and haven’t suffocated from the stench stemming from that deleterious part of the US’s anatomy. But how’s this for a quirk of irony; Belgium is one of those NATO countries taking it in turn to bomb the shits out of Libya as it haughtily prescribes to it, Syria and Iran but not Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, the other Gulf states or Israel mind, how they should run their own country yet not having a f..king clue at the same time how to properly run its own infernal state; and with political, linguistic and cultural sectarianism running rampant there, there’s a high probability that the country, which is an artificial construct anyway, will split apart in bitter acrimony; so much then for the myth of EU cohesion. And with ETA and other nationalist groups across Europe vibrantly flexing their separatist muscles to go it alone we Europeans can also now look forward to our own Awakening and say “stuff the United States and its reactionary fascist European quislings” who don’t speak for us.

This unsurprisingly has got David Cameron so shit scared now that despite the Scots having just elected a nationalist government with an unequivocal agenda and a ballet box mandate to go for Scottish independence and away from the insufferable fascist crap of all the main parties in the House of Commons David Cameron and his Tory lot have made it known that when the Scottish National Party (SNP) holds its referendum and the Scots vote to break away from the rest of the UK he and his Tory fascists won’t accept the result, neither will the Labour Party nor the Liberal Democrats, citing all sorts of misleading arguments from Scotland won’t be able to make a real go of independence to them, these political clowns that is, not standing idly by and watching the United Kingdom disintegrate.

What a load of baloney and how sickeningly patronizing to the Scottish people! Yet these are the very same people who engineered the break up of Yugoslavia; who championed and guaranteed the unilateral declaration of so-called independence by Kosovo: 80% unemployment and relying heavily on UN handouts, banditry, human organs and drugs trafficking for its financial survival; who did the same thing with East Timor, another artificial construct as states go and like Kosovo is simply an interminable basket case economically and in every other respect, with Australia de facto having to manage its affairs for it; and who are now expending their energies and working their well tried and tested destructive magic on Libya and Syria. And who may I ask really gives a toss if the UK or any other European country for that matter breaks up? Isn’t this what they’ve been doing for centuries to countries, regions and continents around the world? And isn’t it time that they learnt that what goes around eventually comes around?

Scotland with its excellent First Minister Alex Salmond: the only western political leader I have any respect for, is perfectly capable of running his country’s political affairs and let’s not forget that up until 1707 Scotland was a country in its own right and to this day has its own distinctive legal, cultural, social and educational systems, and astonishingly for a small country most of the patents registered worldwide are by Scots making them some of the cleverest people on earth as well.

Were Scotland to regain its independence population distribution in England and juxtaposed with customary gerrymandering of electoral boundaries to favour both main parties but principally the Tories would virtually ensure permanent Conservative Party rule in England which would please the Tories no end in normal circumstances, but their immense fear and particularly that of David Cameron who sees himself as a reincarnation of Winston Churchill: and I agree with him on that score except that for me he embodies all the loathsome character flaws, political misfeasance and dastardly activities of that man but with no corresponding charisma or oratorical skills to match, is that England’s valuable oil and gas reserves are decidedly in Scotland’s waters and this multi-billion pound revenue earner that the Scots don’t benefit from much would be permanently lost to the supercilious, avaricious, English bastards at BP who presently control it and in the process bankroll the Conservative Party.

Furthermore, with the United Nations falling rapidly into disrepute, some would logically argue it has already gone past that stage, and with a rising clamour for meaningful and urgent reforms within that organization and particularly the Security Council now unambiguously being heard and reverberating around the world a balkanized Britain possibly, and only just possibly, made up of England, Wales and Ulster just couldn’t justify clinging on to its permanent seat and veto in the UN Security Council as Russia did after the break up of the Soviet Union when the UK’s position there is currently untenable, as it’s based completely on a defunct world order system and not contemporary reality; and if being in possession of a nuclear arsenal will be the excuse for England assuming Britain’s position as a permanent member attendant with veto of the UN Security Council corresponding to the sleight of hand that Russia exercised vis-à-vis the former Soviet Union’s collapse, then to my mind the veto should be scrapped in favour of a simple and democratic majority vote by all member states determining the decisive outcome of business in that world body, and failing this so too the NTP with every country which wants to have nuclear weapons, seeing that the big boys and their friends have them and don’t want to relinquish them, unilaterally deciding whether or not to invest in having their own; and if in spite of fair-minded attempts to create a level playing fields this does happen then scrap the UN altogether.

But David Cameron, his Tory Party and the rest of the neo-imperialists and colonialists that like detestable cockroaches liberally infest both sides of the House of Commons wouldn’t want this, would they? Not least because it would significantly diminish the false prestige that they attach to themselves and the role of Britain in the world; nor would they any longer be able to prance around the world like overweight prima ballerinas giving themselves airs and graces as no one would to listen to them let alone take them seriously. And for them it would be like downsizing from a very palatial mansion that one could no longer afford or had foreclosed on them and as such being obliged to make do with a modest council (social housing) flat, with all their former fancy friends ignoring and dropping them like a hot potato; and this is precisely what the United States would instantly do to an England that politically and militarily is no more authoritative or influential than Belgium or Luxemburg. So all power to Alex Salmond and his SNP I say!

And returning to Barack Obama don’t you dare use the limp excuse or give the lying impression that Europe is some kind of political Utopia, which it isn’t, and Africa id not; and that’s why you are giving Africa the thumbs down. Bullshit! You don’t convince anyone, not with a functioning brain in their head anyway with that kind of approach, for your actions and perceptions are pretty clear-cut – you’re a white man that unfortunately for you is imprisoned in the castle of his brown skin; and you really don’t like that. But I’ve news for you Barack Obama, incumbent Emperor of the American Empire, Africa and its people will survive and do so without your help just as your starving, white Irish ancestor that you so devotedly treasure did; after all it’s the continent where homo sapiens originated and from where they then emerged to populate the entire world; not bad for starters I would say, but for your individual elucidation Barack and that of those of whichever race they feel they belong to I’d like to draw your attention to some facts of history that you may all be quite blissfully ignorant of and, moreover, I will substantiate these with both historical and academic references that at your leisure you can check out.

22. Jesse Owens is conveniently and somewhat hypocritically held up by the United States and also Britain when it suits their purposes as someone that Adolf Hitler decidedly snubbed at the Berlin Olympic Games but what these recalcitrant propagandists while overlooking their own entrenched racism don’t mention, that’s provided of course they even know about these facts, is that during the height of the Third Reich Adolf Hitler had no fewer than 30 black professors at several German universities and colleges; one of these was Foli, who was based in the language faculty at Berlin University, right under the nose of the Fuehrer so to speak so he couldn’t have missed him. In marked contrast black students from within the British Isles and Britain’s global empire have been attending and graduating from celebrated British Universities like Cambridge, Oxford, Durham, Birmingham and London for many centuries but it wasn’t until the late 1970s that Britain appointed its very first black, university professor; so don’t fall for all the hogwash of the Germans being racist against Blacks as if the US and the UK haven’t been and still aren’t. As a Brit, knowing and having observed the Germans from very close quarters as I’ve lived and worked in their country for many years I can honestly say compared to what I’ve seen in the US and the UK that they’re much more inclined to reward people on merit than either Americans or my fellow Brits, who are more swayed by skin colour and so-called class, ever would.

Well the answer to the question which I asked earlier at the start of this segment is, all the above mentioned people are all black and of African ancestry, which totally debunks the lies that Africa and Africans never had an indigenous civilization, never contributed anything to any civilization, and don’t have the capability or intellectual acumen ever to do so; to which I say on the behalf of all those innumerable Africans and other Blacks who over the years I’ve met, known and seen at work and play, dream on!

But sad and pathetic as it may seem you’re not the only black person who is either a coward or a knave Barack that is quite happy to sell his own people out based on the ludicrous notion that to align yourselves exclusively with whites and against your own you are in essence moving away from what you perceive or are brainwashed into thinking are primitive norms of conduct to more enlightened, modern and progressive ones; what a laugh given the appalling history of the white man globally. And it’s this indoctrination far more than the centuries old atrocities of past whites that’s really killing Blacks and the valid aspirations of their gifted youngsters who in the normal scheme of things ought to be the primary focus in terms of the ongoing and future advancement of their race, but when you have a black president at the head of the world’s most powerful state and beside him a black wife with slave ancestry and both of them diligently eschewing anything which is remotely black what sort of message do you think that is sending out to black people in general and their talented youngsters in particular; and why on observing this kind of behaviour from Blacks in positions where they can substantially make a meaningful difference to the lives of their own people but who intentionally choose not to, should the average white person bother to and not embrace and apply the quite logical attitude of: “If your own people don’t care about you why should I?” And who could blame them?

Regrettably Barack Obama you’re not the only one within the African and wider black Diaspora who is intrinsically indoctrinated with the principally white, but by no means exclusively so as far as other races are concerned, concept of black inferiority since objective and highly reliable data consistently show that significant majority of the world’s black leaders, the overwhelming mass of whom are vile and grasping dictators with no pedigree of democracy or any redeeming qualities between them, either individually or collectively, and would willingly and happily sell their own mothers and grandmothers if the price is right think as you do Barack about their own people and have not the slightest hesitation in expediently and sycophantically sacrificing them on the all-encompassing altar of imperialism and colonialism regardless of whether or not either or both these indisputable destructive elements to a fair, just and equitable world for all emanate from established western sources, those of Russia lodged in between, or just as threateningly the new, emergent eastern powers of China and India; so long as the crumbs from the vast hordes of indigenous riches they give away and which fall from the rich man’s table and that obsequiously they’re permitted with the patronizing permission of their handlers to gather up and preserve for themselves guarantee that financially at least they’re considerably better off than the bulk of the black population that they actively and systematically help to subjugate.

Many of you will be shocked to learn that Nelson Mandela and Archbishop Desmond Tutu were once sell-outs of their own people as you are Barack, even when the ANC was being offensively derided in the west for being older than the Bolshevik Revolution in Russia but nevertheless not having made an impact on anyone let alone achieving any of its stated goals; for what both these men with some others in the ANC really wanted wasn’t universal black suffrage in South Africa or even the principle of enshrined human rights legislation, come to that, for the black masses of that country and of the kind that every white man, woman and child automatically had and took for granted, but instead desired where Blacks were concerned that these canons be awarded only to that small black elite which was privileged to have had an education and therefore considered itself as belonging to the professional classes. For other Blacks and as far as their specific futures were concerned however, Nelson Mandela and Co. truthfully didn’t give a damn about them and were quite content if they got their own selfish wish re white approbation of themselves to throw their fellow Blacks: mostly disadvantaged, racially victimized, lacking any meaningful education and with no jobs to speak of, under the proverbial bus and courtesy of the white apartheid status quo watch them rot in hell.

Happily help was at hand in the form of Winnie Mandela, Nelson’s latest wife and a grassroots activist deeply and unyieldingly committed to the full liberation of her people that persuasively changed the indoctrinated mindset of her husband and significantly as well kept his name alive and in the public domain after he was convicted and jailed on treason charges and many whites not only in South Africa but also across the global white Diaspora and together with their racist governments wanted him dead and moreover publicly said so while branding and vilifying him as a dangerous terrorist.

The supreme commitment of this extraordinary courageous, determined and racially proud lady who Nelson Mandela had married, and was herself subjected to some of the worst human rights violations which anyone could possibly endure, to nothing less than justice, equality, dignity and the unequivocal and fullest democratic hopes of her people in a country which was indigenously theirs and where they constituted an overwhelming majority of its population was undoubtedly a watershed moment and crucial turning point for the ANC’s leadership, many of whom had been brainwashed by their supposed white betters and as a result cheerfully bought into the fallacious notion they propagated that even with all its barbaric faults so-called white civilization was still the best thing on offer and markedly superior to anything that Blacks generally and Africans in particular had or could come up with.

This however wasn’t how Steve Biko, who never featured in any of Nelson Mandel’s speeches or isn’t mentioned in the latter’s autobiography, any more than Winne Mandela nor the fearless school children of Soweto: the likes of Hector Pieterson, sister Antoinette Sithole and Mbuyisa Makhubo, the classmate who iconically carried the dead body of Hector Pieterson in his arms, and who jointly, defencelessly but even so both morally and heroically confronted the evident hatred of their apartheid oppressors backed to the hilt with state of the art weapons generously supplied by their western collaborators and in several instances paid the ultimate sacrifice with their lives for doing so saw things. But their courage and great loses, with the odds piled up so mercilessly against them, weren’t in vain however, for they jointly and graphically showed the actualities of their plight and in turn opened up the eyes of the rest of the world to this western government approved, unconditionally supported and most virulent variety of endemic racism and oppression that there was in South Africa triggering in their wake a global movement that eventually contributed to the official, if not the societal dismantlement of apartheid and in its place the establishment of political structures that optimistically will ultimately lead to a truly democratic and equitable South Africa.

The full accomplishment of that however despite adult suffrage and the outward appearances of majority rule is still a long way off as things currently stand, a situation the blame for which can and must be placed securely at the feet of the Nelson Mandela government which relishing white western approbation for itself much more than instituting a long overdue justice and desperately needed political and social reforms for Blacks in South Africa cowardly refused to grab the bull by the horns and against the background of massive support for radical change both at home and abroad to firmly redress the centuries’ old humiliation, land dispossession, racial discrimination and the methodical robbery of their considerable natural resources that Blacks were and still are subjected to literally bottled it as they simply weren’t up to the job. Meanwhile, South Africa’s whites perfectly satisfied to pay lip service to the laudable aims of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission fully cognisant in advance that they would be permitted to permanently hold on to their ill gotten gains effectively carried on as previously, while for the country’s black majority population it was business as usual for most of them: daily lives blighted by poverty and a lack of social and economic advancement as the wealth gap and living standards between them and whites residing in South Africa considerably and unavoidably, given the circumstances, pulled increasingly apart.

It’s an inertia which has gripped and paralysed not only South Africa but also the entire African continent itself portraying its people as feckless and a laughing stock in the wider international community. And Africans know only too well that the so-called international organizations like the UN, ICC, IMF, IAEA and WTO among others don’t really give a damn about them and are in every respect - from the way they’re configured, their subjective and partisan voting patterns and the manner in which these votes and vetoes are heavily weighted in their favour and finally exercised, to the customary and very predictable decisions they arrive at – the explicit agencies and compliant stooges of western regimes, their imperialistic and colonialist institutions. Yet in spite of this awareness these African states rather than collectively withdraw from these biased and corrupt institutions where humiliatingly they’re only allowed to have walk-on parts if any at all, refuse to have anything at all to do with them and instead set up their own competent bodies, slavishly and rather idiotically continue to sign up to and carry on being a part of these western led and dominated organizations.

Libya is a case in point where the entire African continent has meekly stood by and watched a body calling itself the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) blatantly flout the specific conditions set out in UN Resolution 1973 in respect of Libya and having its member countries, exclusively white, western, imperialist and colonialist in nature and against the backdrop of the stooge-like and studied silence from rickshaw Charlie, aka the UN Secretary general, bomb the living daylights out of a member African country that has never waged war against or invaded any of its neighbouring states let alone the white led and controlled countries from the northern hemisphere that are hubristically taking turns to assault it, kill and terrorize its citizens while making unwelcome refuges of thousands of them, wilfully destroy the country’s infrastructure and illegally seek to murder its leader and his family under the asinine pretext of humanitarian intervention to save lives; yes, akin to throwing several live hand grenades into a room where you think hostages are being held against their will in order, you claim, to save their lives.

But even more disgraceful than the collective African stance of utter impotence in the wake of this completely uncalled for western aggression against a partner African state is the deafening silence of South Africa, particularly that of Nelson Mandela and Archbishop Desmond Tutu who are both fully aware of the effective role that Colonel Gaddafi and Libyan financial help played in the official dismantling of apartheid in South Africa when their now new found friends in the west were categorically in support of it. How treacherously disgusting can you be? But like I said previously white, western approbation above all else was always at the forefront of what Nelson Mandela and Desmond Tutu cared about, and they accomplished that in true House-N style by not penalizing in any way the whites in their country, so why should they put in jeopardy a life long cherished ambition by sticking their necks out needlessly as they see it by speaking up for Colonel Gaddafi and his Libyan supporters when they didn’t or aren’t do so for Blacks in South Africa? And when unusually you observe the UN and western governments literally going out of their way to promote and laud African regimes like the one recently installed in the Ivory Coast and simultaneously are hell-bent on wreaking all manner of vengeance on the head of the regime they pro-actively helped in ousting, then you instinctively know that the succeeding and favoured regime is a western backed puppet whose pledge of handing over that country’s natural resources to its puppet handlers is an integral part of the deal of continued support for it.

Equally repugnant but whose behaviour is unsurprising are so-called human rights organizations like Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch (HRW), the International Red Cross (IRC) and its Muslim counterpart the Red Crescent; and while Amnesty International and HRW have done little apart from selectively mouth meaningless platitudes about the western backed carnage that is currently taking place in the Persian Gulf countries there has been absolutely nothing said by either of them against the murderous offensive, targeted killings and gross abuse of power that’s being routinely and hubristically unleashed on Libya by NATO, and what spirited condemnation that there is from HRW and Amnesty International is directed solely at Syria, which anyone with a modicum of objectivity or any sense of fair play will speedily observe that the violence there is western instigated, CIA led and EU, specifically British and French special forces, organized and is essentially a terrorist insurgency campaign that is US and Saudi Arabian financed; akin it must be pointed out to that of Al-Qaida against the Soviet Union in Afghanistan which these perennial warmongering idiots, who never seem to learn from their past mistakes, also sponsored.

But while the Al-Qaida insurgency was a direct surrogate attack against the Soviet Union to help assuage the United States’ patent, obsessive paranoia with communism and temper its demons in this regard, this current insurgency against Syria is to undermine, destabilize and fatally weaken it while additionally effecting regime change there that would provide the US and the rest of the west’s enfant terrible, infernally paranoid and excessively spoilt brat Israel with another comfort blanket that it selfishly demands, expects to have, and its foolish indulgers will do everything in their power to see it gets. Curiously though while all this is happening one doesn’t hear a squeak out of the IRC; and the main reason for this is that like Amnesty International and HRW they’re all western established, based and financed organizations with the same mindset as that of their western kith and kin who are carrying out these monstrous atrocities, and while they know that what is being done is inherently wrong they’re nevertheless in a position very similar to that in which many whites in the anti-trans-Atlantic slavery movement were, quite reluctant and even loathed to wholeheartedly condemn their own since they share the same prejudices and cultural values as they do and don’t for a solitary moment see the victims they are reluctant to speak up for as being equal to themselves.

I began this article with the court verdict handed down to John Demjanjuk, and while I have no appetite for allowing criminals of any calibre to get away with their crimes I feel equally strongly that justice as indeed our view of the crime must be an impartial one and not applied selectively. The Nazi European holocaust was an unquestionable catastrophe but so too were Germany’s two other holocausts in what is now Namibia and which were carried out in the mid 1900s when 80% of the Herero nation was systematically wiped off the face of the earth and once more in 1905 on Shark Island, the world’s first extermination camp, when this time German colonial forces led by Lothar Von Trotha exterminated the entire Witbooi people, a rehearsal for Europe’s holocaust as the German official that was in charge of the Namibian colonial government during this time was Heinrich Goering the father of Adolf Hitler’s most loyal Reichsmarshall Hermann Goering; acts of horrendous genocide that still affect Namibia’s demography and politics to this day but events that are little known of in the white Diaspora, never get reported in their media, aren’t taught in their schools, or has Namibia then or subsequently been compensated in the same lavish manner that European Jews and Israel have been and still are for what happened between 1933 and 1945.

Furthermore, holocausts and acts of genocide implemented by white colonialists and imperialist governments and their armed forces globally against the indigenous populations of those regions, countries and continents that were brutally taken over by them and had their populations utterly subjugated as a result were quite commonplace. Tasman Man of Australia and the Arawaks of the Caribbean both of whom have been completely annihilated in this imperialistic fashion are just two examples of this, but just as unenviable are the hundreds of millions of black Africans that with massive physical and logistical Arab assistance to the white Europeans were viciously rounded up and unceremoniously uprooted from their homelands on the African continent and never to see them again involuntarily transported to the West Indies and the Americas those that survived the perilous journey that is, during which millions of others died without ever reaching the destinations they were intended for, their bleached bones forming a gruesome carpet on the Atlantic Ocean’s sea floor, the survivors left to live ghastly lives as slaves, the repercussions of which are still being felt in the black Diaspora to this day, several centuries later.

And from my personal perspective it trivializes past, present and likely future holocausts and acts of genocide when some victims of these are celebrated, respectfully remembered and turned into iconic figures, their descendants granted unqualified immunity to do whatever it is that they want to do against anyone they choose to and fully aware they can with absolute impunity while others that suffered the same fate, at the same time and in identical circumstances to themselves are not. Millions of gypsies: Europe’s oldest indigenous populations, were also holocaust victims of the Nazi holocaust but they’ve received no recognition of this or any compensation for the grotesque infamy that was the European holocaust, and even to this day despite being citizens of European Union member countries are still publicly discriminated against, marginalized and ostracized by EU governments whose leaders as in countries France where they where dreadfully treated only recently persistently wave their phony human rights credentials in our faces; but as we all know they would never behave in a like manner to the survivors or descendants of their most favoured holocaust victims; and when empathy with and natural justice for holocaust or any other kinds of victims take on an exclusively racial or cultural dimension, then frankly those who behave in this inappropriate way have already lost the plot and in my view are no better than the perpetrators of these atrocities themselves.
