The Holocaust of the Jews & Blacks:

[Derryck]

The Holocaust Of The Jews & The Ignored Holocaust Of Black People!

Have you ever taken notice how often the Holocaust of the Jews under Adolph Hitler's Nazi regime, is been told and shown on American PBS Television (Channel 13), almost daily.

It seems like there is no end to this viewing in the local media. And no one (as far as I can recall), has publicly shown resentment for the frequency (and in your face) showing, of this historical fact!

However, the American media is not so mindful of showing on a regular basis (if ever), the continual genocidal acts against a certain group of people, that is considered disposable, in Darfur-Sudan.

Nor is there any discussion of the war in Uganda between the Rebels of the North, and the National Army of Uganda, for over 13 years now.

Nor is there any mention being made in the local media of the depressing economic situation in the shanty towns, housing, un-employment, & impoverished livelihood that the Black South Africans are still experiencing, in a country that is being Administered for over a decade, by Black South Africans.

The economic wealth of that country is still controlled & owned by White South Africans. The Shanty Townships that existed under Apartheid is still in existence, and the Blacks are getting restless and despondent about the promise of improvements to their livelihood, that was made after the overthrow of Apartheid, and two election victories of The National ANC-Political Party in Power.

The holocaust of the Jewish people in Europe during World War 2, was horrific and should never be taken for granted or forgotten. But the Black holocaust began since the advent of Black Slave Trading by the Europeans in Africa, and has since been adopted by the Arabs, in certain Arab countries even today. The Sudan is a case in point.

Yet the western media does not give it the media time that it deserves. I guess it is not perceived as a revenue earner, and does not get the financial sponsorship from the traditional big corporations and donors, to make it a priority!

Om Shanti.

Many British people would agree with those sentiments. Also, please can somebody explain why our Prime Minister is forever asking us to `draw a line under` and `move forward` and ignore recent events like Iraqi war, WMD dossier, immigration, NHS and public services, etc, which are current problems and worries for many citizens, whilst at the same time commemorating wars which happened 60 or 100 years ago?

Not a year goes by when the BBC or ITV is blasting Hitler history on our screens. I always said that it would have being much better had HRH the Queen Mother, and Churchill invited Mr Hitler in for afternoon tea.

The Greatest Holocaust is the one that the media ignores - the 20 million Russians murdered under Stalin. It seems oddly disproportionate at first summation. But when you study the monopoly media control, as it exists today, the puzzling contradiction is easily understood.
