Going for Gandhi By Michael Ferguson

     Gandhi? Isn’t he the next level up from John Lennon, a real man of love and peace, who did amazing things to keep British imperialism in line all non- violenct? No, the guy was a racist, they say:

“Demonstrators hit the streets of Manchester today calling for a soon-to-be unveiled statue of Mahatma Gandhi to be scrapped. A nine-foot figure of the anti-colonialist campaigner is due to be presented outside Manchester Cathedral on Monday, but not everyone is happy about it. The Alliance Against Gandhi Statues (AAGS) criticise him for calling black Africans ‘savages’ and ‘animals’ and raised concerns over his ‘celibacy tests’ with teenage girls. They also call him an ‘apologist for fascism’ based on his letters to Adolf Hitler and comments about Jewish people. On his way in from London, AAGS spokesman Dr Shreekant Borkar told Metro.co.uk Gandhi opposed racist laws as a lawyer in South Africa for selfish reasons.

He said: ‘It’s not that he wanted to sit with the whites on trains it was that he didn’t want to sit with blacks.’ According to a book by historians Ashwin Desai and KwaZulu Natal, Gandhi said Indians being forced to use the same entrances would lead their behaviour to become ‘degraded to the habits of original natives’. Dr Borkar called him a ‘bigger racist than the British’ and said he was also prejudiced against ‘low-caste Hindus’. A Mahatma Gandhi statue was removed from the campus of the University of Ghana last year as students protested about him calling black Africans ‘inferior’. It comes after University of Manchester students called for the city council to reject the monument, donated by spiritual group Shrimad Rajchandra Mission after the 2017 Manchester Arena bombing. The AAGS, whose members are originally from India, also raise concerns over bizarre ‘celibacy tests’ picked up by Gandhi after the death of his wife Kasturba in 1944.”

     Ok, I did not know that, so best to forget about anything good he did, take everything out of the context of the time, and throw Gandhi down the memory hole. Hey, what about all the racist things Karl Marx said? We cannot reproduce them here, the remarks drip with vileness. Can we also put Marx in the pit as well, or is there a special Leftist compensation for hyper-communists? Here, this is written by a Black man, Leftists:
