All the white New Zealanders I’ve spoken to don’t like the Maoris, the way they are full of crime and welfare. […] The Maoris in jail are 51 per cent of the people in jail and yet they are only 13 or 14 per cent of the population. They’re either in jail or on welfare.
Louis Crimp, a Suspected Racist and entrepreneur in the area of the world known as New Zealand. He contributed the largest amount of money to the “Act Party” in hopes to end what he says is special treatment for the non-white original inhabitants of the area, the Maoris, who he claims is “either in jail or on welfare”.
“The Maoris in jail are 51 per cent of the people in jail and yet they are only 13 or 14 per cent of the population. They’re either in jail or on welfare.” Hm. Does this sound familiar to the U.S.? I think so. But there’s no racism outside of America. There’s no ill treatment of the indigenous outside of America. (via siddharthasmama)

The Stories That Europe Tells Itself About Its Colonial History
Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie breaking it down…
“She said once she was shocked that her son while being taught Belgian history, was taught nothing about Congo. She said “They teach my son in school that he must help the poor Africans, but they don’t teach him about what Belgium did in Congo.” Of course, all countries are evasive about the past for which they feel ashamed, but I was shocked by what seemed to me not evasiveness but an erasure of history.
If her son doesn’t learn that the modern Congo State began a hundred years ago as the personal property of a Belgian king, who was desperate to get wealthy from ivory and rubber, if her son doesn’t learn that the hands of Congolese people were chopped off for not producing enough resources to meet the king’s greed, if her son doesn’t learn that the Belgian government later led Congo with a deliberate emphasis on not producing an educated class, so that Congolese could become clerks and mechanics but couldn’t go to university, if her son doesn’t learn that more recently, even thought it was the Americans who installed the Mobutu’s dictatorship, Belgium was a major force behind the scenes propping him off, if this young Belgian boy, knows nothing about these incidents, then, at some point, they would perhaps no longer have happened because the past after all is the past because we collectively acknowledged that it is so.
This young Belgian boy would grow up to see Africa only as a place that requires his aid, his help, his charity with no complications for him. A place that can help him show how compassionate he can be, and most of all, a place whose present has no connection to Europe.
It is not that Europe has denied its colonial history. Instead, Europe has developed a way of telling the story of its colonial history that ultimately seeks to erase that history”

An illustration that shows the relationship of so-called “Capitalism” with the area of the world known as Africa. It should be clear that the siphoning of resources from non-white people is not simply “Capitalism” but can be more accurately described as Racism (White Supremacy) within the area of people activity known as “Economics”.
Neo-imperialism under the guise of capitalism, free market, and neoliberalism.

The grandly erroneous accusation, that non-Whites are ultimately responsible for their own disenfranchisement and sociopolitical poverty in White societies, is simply not true. And this is fundamentally why events like ‘Black History Month’ cannot, in any logical sense, be regarded as anything other than grand acts of willful self-deception. The essential deceit being the claim that the African, or any other non-Western European group for that matter, has ever really enjoyed a dignified place within the Euro-settler American collective consciousness without first having to fight for it. And almost no one who believes that they have a stake in the extant status quo will discuss this in honest terms. Chiefly because the White mainstream is resistant to our inclusion and is still not prepared to admit this. Even then, after generations of working for and with Whites, after fighting for them and dying side-by-side with them in every war they have ever undertaken, rightly or wrongly, White people still cannot explain in clear terms why Africans and other minorities are still not fully accepted. Not without resorting to the Aryan fantasy narrative of the European ‘Master Race’.
Where we could be now without the interruption from people who classify themselves as White should be a question we should all ponder. It may help us determine what a planet based on Justice would look and feel like.
Diverse societies flourished in Africa and the Americas for thousands of years before Europeans colonized them.
In this hemisphere, there were hundreds of Native nations, each with its own spirituality, language, system of government, and land base. In Africa, societies ranged from complex kingdoms to hunter-gatherer communities, with many tribal, religious, and linguistic differences.
But the peoples of these continents had many things in common. Many considered themselves stewards of their ancestral homelands. African and Native groups also held similar ideas about animal spirits, the guiding presence of ancestors, oral traditions, a living world, and extended family relationships.

They (Native Americans) didn’t have any rights to the land, and there was no reason for anyone to grant them rights which they had not conceived and were not using. What was it that they were fighting for, when they opposed white men on this continent? For their wish to continue a primitive existence, their ‘right’ to keep part of the earth untouched, unused and not even as property, but just keep everybody out so that you will live practically like an animal, or a few caves above it. Any white person who brings the element of civilization has the right to take over this continent.
CodeLens Note: One of the key characteristics of Racist Man and Racist Woman is their anti-nature approach to existence. Their philosophy for life is rife with disordered and corrupt ideas about the purpose of life and the nature of the Universe. Also, their reaction to other people, particularly those who have a connection to this planet and all things in it, is one of unparalleled savagery.

CodeLens offers a critical examination of the unjust system known as Racism (White Supremacy) to discover ways in which it can be dismantled and replaced with Justice. Justice means guaranteeing no person is mistreated for any reason and guaranteeing the people who need the most help get the constructive help they need.
