This piece is taken out of context by those ignorant and insecure. The lack of understanding content and context is clearly apparent. One has to understand history in order to make such comments. Even the greatest of liberals used the K word to describe black people. It was used then and it had no derogatory connotation merely to describe a set of people. The use of the phrase native is also shunned. But I find the term charming actually.
Sol Plaatje [Founder member and first General Secretary of the South African Native National Congress, which would later become the African National Congress (for those ignorant and illiterate)] even used the word to describe himself:
“He chirpily sent himself up – when reeling with seasickness on board ship he used to de_clare his “raw kaffir constitution” would see him through.”

Gandhi was no racist, he was simply a product of his time. He was opposed to the cast system so this notion is absurd. Besides no Black person is to be called an Indian and do not become “untouchable” or “Brahmin” upon becoming Indian. Stop being so damned sensitive and become educated in the process. Read a little before you write a lot.

What are you talking about?. Why is Mamba promoting racism? This story was reported around the world by leading media. What is racist about the story? Are you shooting the messenger because you don’t like what is being said by someone else? Use your head man!

HOW WE LOVE OUR PEDASTALS!!!

I first got to know about Gandhi’s racist slant in a TV show called “Penn & Teller’s Bullshit!”

Do your research on the internet… Gandhi was a man, NOT a GOD!

It is well known that Gandhi did use the K-word. He even wrote articles for Indian community papers on apartheid degredaded Indians to the same status as “RAW kaffirs”…

You have to remember Indian society is till today base on an unforgiving caste system, so it is only logical that he would have had this reference frame work.

Penn & Teller’s Bullshit will also inform you that…

Mother Theresa believed she would be “brought closer to god, by their (the poor in her Calcutta shelter) suffering” wich resulted in no improvement of their suffering & living conditions, but the spread of her convents and theology…

And Martin Luther King was a womanizer and heavy drinker of note…

So idolize the work of the person, but not the person him / herself

What a load of CRAP! How could a man who fought for the rights and wellbeing of Untoucables ever utter words like that….even if Jesus told me this, i would refuse to believe it. Stupid Moron Lelyveld…curl up and die under a rock and if you ae dead already…rot in Hell…..
