The history of colonialism, imperialism, the destruction of the native americans, the africans, south americans, indonesia, Philliphines....I could go on an on. In each case the act of devaluation of their humanity was utilized to justify the wrong doing. In each case it was the white skinned man invaded and upsurping the lands and resources of the colored. Keep in mind here, I'm not speaking of random acts of
doing. Look, u and I are not our government, and it will do
us little good

First of all let me thank u for your extensive comments. I can
sense your sincerity. First let me say, I have lived in many countries around the world, and traveled extensively and I
agree with U America is the most racist country I know of.
Secondly, my message is not to suggest in anyway that whites are the only racist. This video point out how colored
people have been singled out and deevaluated in importance. This is not something I made up, this is
unfortunately the history....below

Since the 1950's and 1960's charities have been collecting for the "black baby" as the term was used in my parents time in Ireland. I do not give to charities anymore. All the money is absorbed by "ADMIN" costs, backpockets get full!!!
This charity method aint working as a long term solution!!.. providing food is not the answer.. Life and survival skills invest pride in people and INDEPENDANCE rather than DEPENDANCE on outside sources.
Think Global act local is a message not used enuff!!!

Racism goes many ways, coloured to white and white to coloured. This is what has been hidden between the cracks of the new found Politically correct world. I have helped and volunteered with and for many nationalities, but when i speak about problems or issues identified in different communities of colour, i am automatically labelled a racist.
Facts need to be straightened for it has been the US and Russia who have mainly supplied weapons to Africa, and then corrupt individuals of their own ppl
In terms of the price of life!! Life is valued at community level first and foremost. I definitely believe that life is valued more in developed countries. It seems life is worth less in developing countries due to poverty and a hopeless feeling of not having anything to live for or offers of a better quality of life..
If ppl are shown a survival skill instead of food aide they will improve as a people. Show them how to plant crops or trees or how to grow food than giving them it!!

This problem of race, power, greed is much bigger than u
and I, but its better to do/say/or attempt to make change
than to do nothing. So speak out against injustices where
ever u see or hear it. Peace and blessing to your spirit....

I would have to abide and RESPECT customs and different ways of living as would women. when in Ireland, our customs have had to change to accomodate these ppl. For instance the annual nativity play is cancelled for fear of offending muslims.. How is this not racism against my culture?.... is it not ok for me to demand that someone who comes to my country respects our traditions? How blind can some ppl get to construe a racist as been only a WHITE MAN!! wake up..

attempting to deny this history and begin asking how to stop it. Defensive posturing will only maintain it. Africa is no jewel, south america, cambodia, every race can be brutal. But the white power structure runs the world, and this feat has been accomplished by violence. This cannot be denied. The degree of this violence is so large, the randomacts by other races against whites are poor comparisons. What we need is more caring for humanity, without regard for race, gender, or nationality

to control their own ppl with military force.. Mugabe is extremely racist in his own right, look at the way Mozambique has fallen, the ppl are suffering...
When i was in SA, I was not viewed as Irish, just as a white man. So tell me how is racism one way.
In ireland we now have many nationalities here, as a country and government they have been welcomed but some times it is forgotten that they have a duty to respect the country they are moving to. If i were in asia, Africa or the middle east.

racism that U and I experience. Believe me, as a black man
growing up in the south and hiding underneath the house
because the klan was burning crosses in the front yard, or
being denied services in restaurants, being called chocolate
in Thailand and refused rental....These things U move on from. But when millions of people are killed, land taken,
robbed and rape, these are crimes against humanity.
I teach classes in diversity and what I say all the time is
that white people need to stop
