Black-&-White

According to the conceptions of racists, the snow stands for the whites’ purity. This statement was confirmed last year by number one racist in Great Britain Nick Griffin after his attack when he was hit by eggs daubed with swastikas outside Parliament. Anti-fascist protesters confronted him, shouting ‘off our streets, Nazi scum’; the person subject, Griffin, automatically thought that Antarctica is the best place to live in as it is all white.
Colour has been a contested issue since the inception of slavery. Blacks since then were always the servants of the whites, or as a matter of fact “getting us coffee” as the former Democrat President Bill Clinton apparently told Ted Kennedy.
In Great Britain white and non white has been a critical issue present in almost all debates tackling immigration and identity concerns since the River of Blood Speech of Enoch Powell.
Enoch Powell, a Conservative Party Member of Parliament (MP) between 1950 and 1974, claimed that the Indian does not by being born in England become an Englishman. In law, he becomes a United Kingdom citizen by birth; in fact, continues Powell, he is a West Indian or Asian still.
Racism also was adopted by racists as a part of their campaign against immigrants. for example the British comedian Bernard Manning insisted several times that a dog does not become a horse simply by being born in a stable, so Asians and blacks do not become English by being born in England .
The naivety of Enoch Powell and Bernard Manning lies in their ignorance of their own history and the ridiculousness of their political agenda.
Therefore, if a dog does not become a horse simply by being born in a stable, this means in Britain no one is British expect the land and nature so to speak. And if we apply this irrational mathematical equation to other cases, United State of America does not exist and all Americans are ‘bustards’ as they do not know their descendance or deliberately refuse to acknowledge it . Whereas indigenous ‘ Americans’ are Indians as the fresh history of USA started in 1492 when Christopher Columbus led his three ships – the Nina, the Pinta and the Santa Maria – out of the Spanish port of Palos on 3 August 1492 .
British history is analogous to its American counterpart because it is – history-made of early immigrants when the British Empire was linked to the rest of Europe by a land bridge. The first settlers in Britain were Stonehenge farmers, then Romans, after that the Saxons followed by the Vikings and Normans. So are there any pure British in Great Britain including the popular Nick Griffin? Or in other words: is there any pure racist white snow fan?
If Bill Clinton, to whom Obama was serving coffee few years ago , can prove that he is a pure American or Nick Griffin, to whom we pay the wage from our taxes, demonstrates that he is chromatically a pure British , history is to review itself .
The metaphorical approach, immigrants –dogs-horses frames ‘outsiders’ as other species different from human beings speaking an uncivilized savage language. This parody that turns foreigners into second class citizens is obviously based on racist interpretation of the Other who is not white as the snow.
To begin with ,the term ‘race’ has been employed throughout Western history as a way to categorize difference in society and to justify exploitation of certain groups by the powerful indigenous white as in the case of Obama who is a ‘waiter’ serving cappuccino to Bill Clinton.
When Nick Griffin, the head of the white supremacist British National Party (BNP) explicitly declared that Antarctica is the last whitest place to live in, in a manner to avoid encounter with non whites, he authenticated the legitimacy of his discursive formula stemmed form his strong racism which is associated with biological definition in terms of personal or group abilities that characterize their dimension to supremacy or inferiority.
It is not new that racism is at the very heart of the British National Party. It is racism that separates it from any other political party; it is its political pragmatics against immigration which makes this party popular because a dog being a horse if born in a horse stable is a ‘bloodless genocide’
Because it denied indigenous people their own identity as he pronounced.
So, who is the dog, who is the horse and who is the native Mr. Clinton and Mr. Griffin?
Racist never win the battle , they will suffer because we are here and there.
