Re: i am from the 1st world and i am of anglo
Thanks for reading. Amongst my own people there remains some with the yearning to be supreme, not by merit, but by descent. An old "descending from the chosen" dream. They also think that the problems they are having now is God's punishment for them allowing intermingling with the races some of them consider soulless and animals. The Love of God is not in them, that much I'm sure of. The love of self is way too strong. Their religion is race based, with themselves on the throne, even now that their throne is trampled underfoot. Anybody who realizes his/her own real value does not have to downplay someone else to feel worthy and that worth in Life should be measured by actions and not looks or genes.

i am from the 1st world and i am of anglo
persuasion this makes me very privy to, whether i like it or not, the real face of racism
Believe me it is very alive and well and I don't see any relief or remedy in sight for many many many many moons
That and classism are rampant here
Sexism is fortunately losing so that at least shows of some promise
I appreciate your educative blog

AardigeAfrikaner,
It still confounds me the African? It will require a lot more to understand the destruction of the Africa and its dispersed cultures. And there is zero effort to even engage the debate! I do know President Mugabe is the lesser cause of the evil plaguing the Continent.
