[Opinion] The Mandela Deception

[DJ...]

Red Indians, Aztecs, Mayans, Aboriginies etc

They advocated the genocides in Palestine.

The work behind the scenes in the other african countries

I really think that you need to pick up a history and geography book...

Red Indians - I presume you mean Native Americans. They are not classified as a genocide.

Aztecs - Spanish, not British.

Mayans - Spanish, not British

Aborigines - again not strictly classified as genocide.

The authors claim that Britain was responsible for 'the most atrocious genocides known to mankind' is just nonsense.

Aztecs - Spanish
Mayan - Ummmm this civilisation declined before the British even knew South America existed
Aboriginies - This was about 15000 people at most, more accurate estimates put the number in the 3000 range though... hardly genocide
Red Indian - What specific grouping of people are you referring to, there is no such grouping called "Red Indians"

Try again with your FUD.

You stated British.. so are you going to admit that you were wrong and trying to spread FUD again?

Neither the "Red Indians" or the Aboriginal populations were wiped out.

Just to stop your FUD

Native Americans - Over 5m of them still live in North America
Aboriginal Australians - Over 670000 of them still live in Australia.

I think you should relook the meaning of wiped out.

Stop calling them that you brown Indian. :wtf:

Yet you just posted that tripe in response to direct questions about the British. You simply do not know anything about the topics you're trying to discuss. What you have is only just enough surface knowledge of a subject for it to be dangerous...

Please tell me where you buy your tin foil hats, because the level at which you are at is beyond comprehension.
Great Britain has more important things to deal with, hell Africa is so full of despots and dictators who are so full of themselves that they won't believe you if you told them gravity existed.
What colonialism did was bad but after a few hundred years I would have hoped that Africa would stop blaming the West and put on its big boy pants and actually learn to tackle its own problems like a grown up.
And why don't you go and ask the descendants of the slaves taken to the US and other Western countries and ask them if they want to come back to their homelands... you won't get any volunteers.

 

[daveza]

The Aborigines and American Indians were decimated by disease bought in by the colonialists - that doesn't qualify as a genocide.

but yeah. not british

 

[ghostbuster]

The point of the article is the black people are still oppresed by the white people

 

[daveza]

The article speaks of all european colonialist not just the british

the British throne, which has been at the forefront of the most atrocious genocides known to mankind

So British, not all European colonialists.

 

[daveza]

The point of the article is the black people are still oppresed by the white people

And black people are still oppressed by black people - does he mention that ?

 

[AfricanTech]

When I saw a quintuple posting I said fsck it and didn't bother reading.

This x 1000

Must be an old communist or workerist - they're the only ones who can actually post such walls of text and seriously expect people to read it.

Because the British mourned Mandela's passing and engaged in wars. The opinion piece you posted was written by a racist moron with little to no grasp of history and lapped up by imbeciles who can't be bothered with actual facts.

If you want to provide examples of racial inequality then there are many ways to do it. Lying and bastardising history is not one...

Impossible. Those blacks are imperialist puppets. Blacks cannot oppress each other out of their free will.

 

[ToxicBunny]

No, the point of the article is to spread racist FUD that has no real basis in history at all.

No, the point of the article is to spread racist FUD that has no real basis in history at all.

There is an article in there somewhere ?

Wow!

Who woulda thought?

Scanned, TLDR, too much plattitudinal rubbish.

Perhaps africans should start with the origins of the slave trade on the continent (hint, it wasn't western collonialists, perhaps call it the arab winter)

History knows injustices far greater than those hilighted in this thread to date. Make the best of the opportunities afforded to you and stop focusing on others. This country is built in the present and a victim mentality is most certainly no good foundation for success.
