Nadine Gordimer on racism

[cooldollme]

The true words of a white writer.....for the suffering blacks....

[wordsandmoves]

This interviewer is rubbish.

[HighShippu]

You won't find racism in Islam. Islam teaches us that no matter what color you are, Black, White, Grey, Blue, Green or even Red you are not diffrent from each other except by Taqwa (Obedience to God).

@HighShippu

So you impose divisions via other means

[ObsidianImages]

@HighShippu Bullshit.

[HighShippu]

@ObsidianImages

You have no idea of what you're talking about.

[ByabyaChannel]

@HighShippu Racism is not connected with religion. Neither does christianity, judaism, hinduism etc teach this. Racism is not a religious phenomenon but more of a cultural one. So muslims arent less prone to racism than other people. look at sudan today for a terrific example

[Feeshmonster1]

@ByabyaChannel True what you said, yet you have to remember that there are many religions out there and some religions require to be racist.

[insanic1]

i agree with her, the blacks now have it sooo much better now then they did during apartheid...

[Bozewani]

I love Nadine Gordimer to pieces :)

[XoiSANBushman]

Yes Mugabe loves her to pieces aswel, into tiny pieces, where he could eat her piece by piece slowly.....enjoying the fresh flesh meat pieces.

MMhhhh white african KFC finger licking good.

AFC african fried Chicken industry is coming to Europe and the word soon.

[missyBoo01]

i like what she has to say.

[ThatPinkButterfly]

i was named after her.. :)

[Lon200007]

..and Nadine is a writer...so she could write about what she experienced...other people and so as I, are not writers and we felt the same as she felt, but hey...we are not "famous enough" to put forward what we think/feel ..and what we and thousands of other SA's did for the blacks...don't get ever recognision as we are just common people...not well-known enough for a prize..but we never did/do that for any prize at all!!

[Lon200007]

yes, down with racism and lucky for her...she was/is a well-known writer and could make her point clear and...win a prize for that! what about MANY other South Africans (i'm one) that are not writers, not well-known and we also felt the same...i frew up on a farm, loved (and still love) the blacks on our farm..still visiting them although we don't live there anymore...caring about them...and so as zillion other South Africans do...white South africans..are not ALL racists as many people think!!

[XoiSANBushman]

Kill the english Long live Mugabe

[JuanFri]

I'm reading one of her stories right now. "Six Feet Under"

[gigagroove]

Great! Humans need to agree that we have a problem with COLORISM, CAPITALISM. Then let's move forward and use women like her as an inspiration.

Presently, Capitalism uses Race in order to both control certain urban communities while making money off these groups (minimum wage, jails where it could take 40 to $90,000 to house an inmate, gold/oil etc taken from 3rd world while we in West benefit.)

[nbt02]

you're stupid... and mixing facts with lies...

[dollkn1]

nope....gigagrove is actually RIGHT for the most part. 'm not sure how colorism fits into this but his facts are correct.

[westphalianprinz]

Yes. I totally agree with you, and I so much agree with Nadine Gordimer.

[bbproductionsLA]

great!!

[Inkwest]

Nadine Gordimer said that black men are beautiful, as opposed to white men. Interesting that she doesn't make any reference to that during this serious interview about racism.

[pker253]

there is allways going to be racism but on a lower scale ...

[AliYeah93]

Down with racism.
