Mahatma Gandhi the Racist. While living in South Africa, Mahatma Gandhi described black Africans as “savage,” “raw” and living a life of indolence and nakedness. •He routinely expressed "disdain for Africans," and he also campaigned relentlessly to prove to the British rulers that the Indian community in South Africa was superior to native black Africans. •One of the first battles Gandhi fought after coming to South Africa was over the separate entrances for whites and blacks at the Durban post office. •Gandhi obiected that Indians were "classed with the natives of South Africa," who he called the kaffirs, and demanded a separate entrance for Indians. •In a petition letter in 1895, Gandhi also expressed concern that a lower legal standing for Indians would result in degenerating "so much so that from their civilised habits, they would be degraded to the habits of the aboriginal Natives, and a generation hence, between the progeny of the Indians and the Natives, there will be very little difference in habits, and customs and thought."

As an Indian I can confirm that Indians are the biggest racist in the world.... Not just other race and civilizations, we hate each other depending on the languages, castes, state, facial appearances

A large portion of Indians are still busy trying to prove themselves more white than black and yes, colorism and racism within the Indian society is as alive today as it was then. 🙄

Wow! I had no idea! I guess that is the point…history does not want us to know?!

Umar Johnson makes a very persuasive argument about Gandhi’s racism and hypocrisy. Unfortunately Johnson himself has repeatedly expressed deep hostility to women and LGBT people…he’s not be the best candidate to moralise on the topics of hypocrisy and irrational hatred.

Yes and his attitudes on women were far from enlightened either. Shocking, really, but typical of most men then (and many still).

That's why blk ppl need to start having unison and standing in solitude with each other becuz every other race are always against us. Other races that we think stand in solitude with us really don't. Marin Luther King looked up to him and this how he really felt towards him.

😔 😟 🙁 😥 True history is so much uglier than what we've been taught.

Statue of Dr. Ambedkar is needed, not Gandhi.
