U.N. Condemns Racism Directed at Black French Justice Minister
"Cunning as a monkey, Taubira gets the banana back" From [HERE] The United Nations Human Rights Office condemned racist attacks against French Justice Minister Christiane Taubira, a spokesman said Friday.
The comments came after a French political candidate likened Taubira, a black woman born in Guyana, to a monkey on a documentary television program broadcast in October. A week ago, several demonstrators in the town of Angers waived bananas at her, and this week the French magazine Minute featured Taubira on its cover with the caption "Cunning as a monkey, Taubira gets the banana back," a U.N. statement said.
This utterly unacceptable abuse of a prominent politician on the basis of her color is a stark manifestation of the rising racism, xenophobia and intolerance aimed at members of ethnic and religious minorities, as well as migrants, in many European countries," said an unidentified spokesman for the U.N. Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights, Rupert Colville.
According to Dr. Blynd, Racism - White Supremacy. Racism is a power group dynamic, i.e., a defined group cooperatively via legacy institutions exerting structured, systematic injustice and power over another group. Racism is not individualistic, but institutional, cultural, economic, political, linguistic, self perpetuating and systematic. Racism is economic discrimination by a group against another for the purpose of subjugation and/or maintaining the imbalance of power through cooperative control and oppression. The socioeconomic and cultural bequest of colonialism and neo-Colonialism. Racism has its bio-physiological origins in the immune response of primitive life-forms to foreign matter and has its geo-psychological roots in the response of primitive humans encountering more intelligent ones based on the meme of scarcity and the fear of genetic annihilation through genetic assimilation. "Racism destroys men - and women- as much by what it denies them as by what it metes out to them " - Isiah Thomas. "It is pathological for Blacks to keep attempting moral suasion on a people who have no ethics or morality where race is a variable." Bobby Wright. "If you don't understand racism white supremacy, everything else you think you know will only confuse you." Neely Fuller, Jr. (See White Supremacy, Yurugu, Ma'afa & Caucasion). [MORE]
