    As another poster has already noted, he was also a hypocrite. I don't see his legacy as being "shiny".
    Racism is in the heart of fallen man. All racism is evil. But the white man has exceeded all other races in his bid to enslave other men...not just physically, but also ideologically.

    We all have our points of view. Gandhi is revered around the world. We are not.

    If I understand right, first the English government ruled South Africa, then the Afrikaners/Boers did. And, if I understand right, both had a policy of racial segregation for both the Blacks and the Indians in South Africa.

    We're Christians here remember? For us to die is gain. How we die affects the world. Through the death of one man Jesus Christ, the world has been redeemed to God. Is that not more powerful than a WMD?

    This view is racist.

    Ah, the irony!

    Yeah I sometimes forget how man is capable of viewing human suffering and feeling nothing at all...

    If all men were critical of themselves and their own race, then racism would not exist. We must be responsible for ourselves....not look down on others in order to prop up our supposed superiority.

    The irony is, a huge number of people I've encountered who call themselves "anti-racists" are actually some of the biggest racists I've ever encountered.

    Rather, we suffer in a common cause. Sacrificial giving is not the same as retributional taking.

    Using force to protect an innocent is not "vengeance", and quoting bible verses is no substitute for common sense.

    And your sense of superiority comes from bashing white people. That's racist.

    Like putting white supremacy in a a bad light? What's wrong with betraying the cause of racism in one's own race?

    LOL...sorry I can't tow the party line. I am just human....a part of humanity that disagrees with making a distinction based on the five senses.

    Often, the term "anti-racist" is a thinly disguised code term for anti-White. Not always, but often.

    The English-only ideology can be described as racist and a person can be anti-English-only without being anti-White. There are White linguistic minorities and non-White linguistic minorities.

    I agree! But how much violence is committed by dishonesty? Have you never wanted to retaliate? Have you never cheered a retaliation strike against the "infidel"?
