During a decade, Afrikaners, descendants of the original Dutch settlers passed laws forcing blacks and people of mixed race to live and work in restricted areas, and barred them from owning land outside those areas. </div><p align="center"><em><span style="font-size:85%;">They were educated only enough to perform basic labor in white-run industries, They could not socialize with whites, have a voice in government, or even travel outside their designated areas without government approval. All blacks--who made up 70 percent of the population--had to carry "pass books" that recorded their movements, and could be arrested for inviting whites to their homes without approval. </p></span></em><p align="center">"We speak out to put the world on guard against what is happening in South Africa. The brutal policy of apartheid is applied before the eyes of the nations of the world. The peoples of Africa are compelled to endure the fact that on the African continent the superiority of one race over another remains official policy, and that in the name of this racial superiority murder is committed with impunity. Can the United Nations do nothing to stop this?" — Che Guevara, speech to the United Nations as Cuba's representative, December 11, 1964.</p><p align="center"><br /><object height="344" width="425"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/DWJw7OO_voY?fs=1&hl=en_US&color1=0x5d1719&color2=0xcd311b"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/DWJw7OO_voY?fs=1&hl=en_US&color1=0x5d1719&color2=0xcd311b" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><br />Then 30 years after a inter/nationwide revolutionary movement, the Apartheid was bannished.

The fundamental core of the Apartheid were completely neglected, that's why racial segregation is still predominating; but at the only difference that now, it's anti-white.<br /><br /><object height="344" width="425"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/NfEgO2L8-A0?fs=1&hl=en_US&color1=0x5d1719&color2=0xcd311b"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/NfEgO2L8-A0?fs=1&hl=en_US&color1=0x5d1719&color2=0xcd311b" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><br /><br /><object height="344" width="425"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/urTBah8hhvU?fs=1&hl=en_US&color1=0x5d1719&color2=0xcd311b"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/urTBah8hhvU?fs=1&hl=en_US&color1=0x5d1719&color2=0xcd311b" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><br />Modern Apartheid is a contradiction for some but, a reverse evolution for others.<br /></p><div align="center"><span style="color:#ff0000;"><strong><span style="font-size:85%;">What if, Racism was a logical part of Evolutionism - <em>The theory of evolution</em>?<br />What if, Racism was a necessary evil, in the name of the Advancement of humanity ?<br />Mental Apartheid is a psychic conditioning- You fought it, when you live beyond it.<br /></span></strong><br /></span><object height="344" width="425"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/PX9gAtt5cMM?fs=1&hl=en_US&color1=0x5d1719&color2=0xcd311b"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/PX9gAtt5cMM?fs=1&hl=en_US&color1=0x5d1719&color2=0xcd311b" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><br /></div>GLASNOSThttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10878330531136238411noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1430683990071126842.post-43700493440137570652010-10-20T16:22:00.000-07:002010-11-24T17:43:52.424-08:00"Missié Guerlain" - Don't hate the player.

The immediate human victims of the violence are generally chosen at random ( second-hand targets) or selectively ( representative or symbolic targets) in a target population and serve as generators of message.<br />The processes of communication based on the violence or the threat between the terrorist (organizations), the (potential) victims, and the main targets are used to treat the main target, by making a target of the terror, a target of requirements, or a target of attention, as the intimidation, the pressure, or the propaganda is the first purpose, " (Schmid, on 1988).<br /><br />- <strong>United States<br /></strong><br />The United States defined the terrorism in the Federal Criminal Code (Section 2331 of the Chapter 113B of the Part(Party) I of the Title 18 [ 4 ]) as:<br /><br />" Activities implying violent acts … in violation of the criminal laws of the United States or any State and appearing intended i) to intimidate or to force a civil population; ii) to influence the policy of a government by the intimidation or the constraint; now iii) to affect the behavior of a government by destruction of mass, murder, or kidnapping;''<br /></div><br /><div align="left"><br /><span style="font-family:courier new;">“ Civilization is based on a clearly defined and widely accepted yet often unarticulated hierarchy. Violence done by those higher on the hierarchy to those lower is nearly always invisible, that is, unnoticed. When it is noticed, it is fully rationalized. Violence done by those lower on the hierarchy to those higher is unthinkable, and when it does occur is regarded with shock, horror, and the fetishization of the victims. ” - Derrick Jensen</span></div><blockquote><p align="left"><br />Well, I believe that those violences has been escalated, '' those higher on the hierarchy'' have purposely created this era of terror.

As economist P.T. Bauer observed, there is an “inherent bias of government-to-government aid towards state control and politicization.” Foreign aid greatly increases the patronage power of recipient governments.</span> </p><p><span style="font-size:85%;"></span></p><p>You don’t help a beggar by giving him money regularly, but by implementing all the necessary conditions, so that he will earn his own money.<br />Foreign aid kills Africa. Those institutions essentially provide and promise, money, food and goods already produced by western countries, which generates aid-dependency and doesn't help at all Africa's economy.<br />Plus, as Moyo pointed out, the system of aid and monetary donations painted a negative image of Africa, as poor, unstable and corrupt.<br /><br />Actually, the main issue in these institutions is, there are no prospects of a long-term <span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">"rehabilitation"</span>. The foreign aid is a counterproductive "help system" which draggs down the Third World economic system. In fact, this short-term-help is nothing more than a long-term-trading, with developments of natural and mineral resources as a bargaining chip.<br />To affirm that the African nations do not need help, it would be a false over-estimation; Africa needs a good and lasting aid: (technologies, patents, licenses, knowledge, investments) everything which will create jobs and establish training, so that African nations will manage their own business.<br /><br />First of all, an economic decentralization is essential, it would limit the government power in order to privilege individuals; and this, will put an end to dictatorships, overthrows, corruption. Then, the climate of stability will consequently permit the development of the middle class, free enterprise and the private sector's empowerment. And there will come prosperity and peace.<br /><br />The solution proposed by Dr. Moyo is imperative for Africa, but somehow, I fear that her optimism has unfortunately overshadowed the dark African realities which remain the huge obstacle to capitalism and democracy (attitudes, primitive customs and traditional society, tribalism).</p>GLASNOSThttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10878330531136238411noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1430683990071126842.post-25223690113423331682010-08-26T10:20:00.000-07:002010-09-11T11:01:37.828-07:00"The Great Dictator" Charlie Chaplin (1940)<object width="445" height="364"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/34JIGAMFY1E?fs=1&hl=fr_FR&color1=0x5d1719&color2=0xcd311b&border=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/34JIGAMFY1E?fs=1&hl=fr_FR&color1=0x5d1719&color2=0xcd311b&border=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="445" height="364"></embed></object><br /><br /> By appropriating the satiric tone, Chaplin denounced in his film "The Great Dictator" dictatorial regimes that plague Europe.
