Statue of 'racist' Gandhi removed from University of Ghana
QuoteA Mahatma Gandhi statue has been removed from the campus of the University of Ghana after protests from students and faculty who argue the Indian independence leader considered Africans ?inferior?.
The statue was unveiled at the university in the Ghanian capital Accra two years ago but has been the subject of controversy and was removed in the middle of the night on Tuesday, leaving just an empty plinth.
Scholars have highlighted evidence in past years showing the revered freedom-fighter, whose theories of civil resistance helped India throw off British colonialism and inspired generations of activists including Martin Luther King Jr, held derogatory views towards native communities in South Africa.
:tistheseas: Merry Xmas
Wait, Ghandi was racist?
Yup
He didn't want Africans and Indians using the same entrances because he felt the natives bad habits or w/e would rub off on the Indians
Some of the accountability era>>
QuoteIn 1893, Gandhi wrote to the Natal parliament saying that a "general belief seems to prevail in the Colony that the Indians are a little better, if at all, than savages or the Natives of Africa".
In 1904, he wrote to a health officer in Johannesburg that the council "must withdraw Kaffirs" from an unsanitary slum called the "Coolie Location" where a large number of Africans lived alongside Indians. "About the mixing of the Kaffirs with the Indians, I must confess I feel most strongly."
The same year he wrote that unlike the African, the Indian had no "war-dances, nor does he drink Kaffir beer". When Durban was hit by a plague in 1905, Gandhi wrote that the problem would persist as long as Indians and Africans were being "herded together indiscriminately at the hospital".
This, in itself, say historians, is not entirely new and revelatory. Also, some South Africans have always accused the man who led India to independence of working with the British colonial government to promote racial segregation. In April, a man was arrested in connection with vandalising a statue of Gandhi. A hashtag #Ghandimustfall (sic) has gained circulation on social media.
Wasn't he also a pedo
He was?
:guys:
n why was a statue of him even in Accra of all places?
I didn't know he considered Africans inferior. Fuck him.
Quote"We were then marched off to a prison intended for Kaffirs [offensive term equivalent to the n-word]," Gandhi complained during one of his campaigns for the rights of Indians settled there. "We could understand not being classed with whites, but to be placed on the same level as the Natives seemed too much to put up with. Kaffirs are as a rule uncivilized -- the convicts even more so. They are troublesome, very dirty and live like animals."
In an open letter to the legislature of South Africa's Natal province, Gandhi wrote of how "the Indian is being dragged down to the position of the raw Kaffir" -- someone, he later stated, "whose occupation is hunting and whose sole ambition is to collect a number of cattle to buy a wife, and then pass his life in indolence and nakedness."
On white Afrikaners and Indians, he wrote: "We believe as much in the purity of races as we think they do."
Jsjshssjshshhs
Wtf
QuoteIt is a fact. Gandhi had young women in his ashram, some of them still teenagers, one of them his own grand-niece (Manu Gandhi), sleep naked with him in his bed at night. This was an aspect of Gandhi that I had not read about before, and it surprised me at first. I was researching for my book ?Sex and Power? which looks at the history of sex and sexuality in India, and it was important for me to investigate this further.
My initial tendency was to regard this as ?gossip? but then some of the biographies confirmed it as fact, but also hurriedly dismissed it as something that we all apparently should accept as the eccentricities of ?great? men! That?s not a logical argument for me and so I began to dig into archives for more information till a complete picture emerged. And that picture upset me. I saw Gandhi as a classic example of a sexual predator ? a man who uses his position of power to manipulate and sexually exploit the people he directly controls.
Most angering for me, was reading about the psychological and emotional trauma of the girls and women who he used for his ?experiments?, which is what he called these incidents. The word ?psychotic? repeatedly came up in various documents with regards to these women?s mental state. The women, most of whom were in their late teens or early twenties (not surprisingly, given he could have ?experimented? with the older women or even his own wife!) were repeatedly described as depressed and weeping, and seemed to be completely in his control. Besides this, some of the archival references lead me to believe that Gandhi may well have been practicing the traditional, historic form of Indian celibacy which hinges on one thing only ? and that is control of ejaculation. Everything else is permitted.

Martin Luther got mess too, but I ain't one to gossip
She was a figure head for white women in colonial times
Where only white people could provide and direct care, where brown bodies waited in the corners for direction and they were always the victims and never the victors plus that old bitch had no medical
experience so she couldn't tell the different between someone who was curable and treatable to someone who was incurable and dying, so she just let everyone die :dead: she resused dirty needles for the poor, only washed them in warm water :uhh: and didn't section those with infectious diseases away from other patients
Dummy bitch
fffffff loved Malcom X's tea tho :woohoo:
