Adrian Anthony Gill Quotes
Making a programme that appears to condone a positive stereotype actually enforces all the negative ones as well. It says that they all have a valid point. To assert that Americans are naive, Germans humourless and the French arrogant is one thing: they're big enough to take it. But to say that there's a conspiracy of Jewish bankers, that gypsies are thieves, Pakistanis are dirty and refugees are muggers is something quite else.
Gill, A. A. Paper View. Weidenfeld & Nicolson, 2008.
He was a brutal, sadistic war criminal who was assassinated by one of his many enemies in 2000 before he could be brought to trial.
To many, this quotation is shocking. TR was a presidential pioneer in race relations being the first President to ever invite a Black to dine at the White House. See {588996} for his views on Blacks. Although modern and liberal with respect to most minorities, TR had a major blind spot regarding Native Americans and was among the worst racists.
Strictly anti-Islamic discrimination is not racism as Muslems are represented in every race and nationality in the world.
Describing the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People in speeches in the 1960's:
His reference was to ethnic Indians and Chinese living in Kenya and other countries of Africa. Asians are a minority group in African countries and the legally sanctioned discrimination against them is part of an ugly type of discrimination which still exists.
He was referring to the people of India and not the American Indians for who he also had little respect like almost any minority.
This was a quotation from Roof's twisted confession of the fact that he walked into a black church that was holding a Bible Study Class, and gunned down 9 religious people studing the Bible. His "justification" was based on totally false "facts" but at the time many people--especially those and the extremes of political ideology simply chose the fact that supported their narrative and world vie without regard to veracity. The overwhelming majority of whites who are murdered in America are murdered by other whites and usually by people whey knew. Most rapes in the United States are committed by Whites, not Blacks, Of the Black committed rapes, most of the victims were also Black. Large proportions of the American populace believe that the Black cntribution to crime against whites is very much larger than it reall is. Of the whites who believe this, a tiny few become white supremicists and only some of those act out and commit any physical violance. However the few succetable people like Roof have heard these falsehoods so ofteh that tney not only beleive it si try but they believe taht they must do something lest the problem get worse. Of course, even if Blacks were committing all these crimes against whites, it takes a spcially sociopahic mind to believe that by killing Bible-studying, deeply religious, Christian Blacks, they will somehow stop violent Black crime.
