The debate around Rob's, the editorial cheif of the Spectator, article blog was embrolied in Controversy. In Robs Blog he stated the "fact" that "... gun crime is overwhelming the issue with black young males and what have they given us ? goat curry and rap-music"
Forgive the coarse quote recalled from memory in the late night her i am burning the midnite Oil.
His "demonization" of the Black folks again falls in the "BNP nick Grifin-esque" stylee... Mixing fact with Global uncontextualized realities .... Like the reality of "Rap" music being an African-American import stemming from the Ghetto's of the US. itself stemming from at least 50 years of oppression ...
Stating facts as some callers on the Radio stations has never been an issue in world debate .. What the problem is contextualizing "facts" and giving it an interpretation .... Europe has a history of failing to have the soft-touch in contextualising "facts".. The jews are EVIL ... they killed Christ ..... the Jews are evil they bla bla bla ,,,,,,
Uncontextualised "facts" and interpretations are the KEY to the harmonious (or disharmony) motion and intercourse of society !
Mixing isolated facts with specific incidents in isolated localities without bringing other factors such as poverty, culture and even history into context LEADS to an all out misinterpretation of reality !
This brings me to Napoloeans Mammoth Encyclopedia-Egypt written by the commissioned Orientalists to "understand" the natives of Egypt their ways, mode of thought for imperialistic ambitions .... How much "correct" interpretation from the "facts" was there in this Encyclopedia ?
Lest we forget that when we Britons migrate to the Costa-del-Sol or southern france, we all setup our own communities, create British Ghetto's and fail to learn the language ! Lest we not be hypocrits when other communities migrate to the Lands of the Britons and do the same .... Don't hit them with the Same brush we fail with .....
