The recent arrest of Gates and its subsequent furore is again

more proof of the US silent war on its 'buffalo citizens' and

maintaining modern American aparthieid.

It is most devious, lewd and offensive for the US to lecture

others and brashly interfere in other people's affairs while
it allows an unfair struggle to go on within its own country.

The US loudly denounces unrest in Iran, but is silent on the

current troubles faced by its own minority communities which
have been allowed to fester since the late nineteenth century.

Henry Lous Gates was unfairly treated because of the colour of

his skin. But his was not an isolated case. There are so many
such cases in the US, that you would need a very thick book to
compile all of them.

The minority communities in the US comprise less than 23% of

the population but almost 70% of its prison population. This
glaring disproportionality is the direct result of very deeply
ingrained oppression and racism in the US, even today. Yet the
US continually sees it fit to criticise others. The US is most
surely a hypocritic nation.

The US has a long shameful history of mistreating its minorities

despite all that talk about freedom and democracy. Inhabitants
of African ancestry were treated like buffalo citizens. All kinds
of bad names were given to them. And other minorities were not
spared either. Beatings, maimings, intimidations, harassments, &
other forms of ill-treatment were meted out to the minorities,
both by street mobs and law enforcement offcials. Even today,
such types of incidents still occur reguarly, as seen in the
Gates' case.

In the US, the police have the tendency to overreact when at any
time they confront a person from the minority communities. This
also extends to the overuse of deadly firepower when dealing with
minority suspects. Many numerous cases of this type have been
recorded over the years. For example, when police rushed into the
home of 92 year-old Kathryn Johnston, they fired a total of 39
shots at her. In other incidents, a groom-to-be was mowed down
by at least 40 bullets. In the Attica incident, police fired 2,000
shots inside six minutes. In all these cases the victims were
minorites. Even a dangerous maneater in a tropical jungle would
not deserve such obliterating fire. This is how the police treat
minority people in the US and yet its politicians dare to lecture
others. Gates was just one more victim but a very lucky one.

Today, even as Obama tries to dismiss the Gates issue as a chance

to 'learn a positive lesson' from the episode, US human rights or
'civil rights' as the Americans prefer to call it, still walk a
very rocky road. Nothing will ever be learnt from the Gates issue.
In fact, things will never ever improve for the minorities in the
US until they outgrow the white Anglo-Saxons in size and become the
majority in the country. The latter will always be true to their
ancestor's traits. They will always find it acceptable in their
hearts to practise double standards.
In the US, one in every four male African-Americans is either in
police custody, awaiting sentencing, awaiting parole or already
rotting inside a jailhouse. And the jailhouses in the US are all
highly overcrowded and staffed by shady characters. Just how could
the US government justify its right to make noises about Iran or
Myanmar is simply beyond comprehension.

Today, out of a population of 300 million inhabitants, the US has

well over seven million people on probation, parole or in custody.
Nearly five million are African-Americans. No other country comes
close. It is a very sorry record and it is proof of the stink that
has long enveloped the US. How could US politicians lecture other
nations. People like Gates should undertake a study on the matter
and distribute the results worldwide. And shut the mouths of the
hypocrites for good. Forget about 'learning positive lessons'.

Obama might be the president, but he has to acknowledge that his

position and power exist more by the consent of the white Anglo-
Saxons and very much less than through the common people. The US
agencies like the CIA have been known to topple leaders they do
not like and even J.Kennedy was rumoured to have been killed by
powerful figures inside the country itself. So much for democracy.

The US has so many shady characters within that it's most puzzling
why they want to invade Iraq and Afghanistan to eliminate people
regarded as undesirable. Why not eliminate the undesirable ones
within the US itself first. Then and only then proceed to other
places. Those who target minorities are exactly the same as those
who have been branded Al-qaeda or Taliban followers. Really there
is no difference between them all. Yet, the US is now menacing
Iran and North Korea. Shame on Obama.

Obama should be aware that in the sixties, when US soldiers started

arriving in Vietnam to start the slaughter, racial discrimination
and oppression was still very prevalent and widespread in the US.
Now, as the US makes threatening noises against other countries,
racial discrimination and oppression is still highly insidious in
the US. A new modern form of apartheid now exists in the US. Despite
all the talk about 'progress' and 'positive lessons'.

Perhaps that could explain why US soldiers behaved so badly in

Gitmo, Abu Ghraib and elsewhere. The hatred and disdain they had
for the minorities in the US was simply transferred to their
captives in those places. And powerful Anglo-Saxons were involved
right up to their nostrils. Men like Cheney, Rumsfeld and Bush.

Many people can still easily recall Camp X-Ray, Hamdania, Mahmudiyah
or Ishaqi just as they could recall those places of yesteryears like
My Lai or Jesper or Rosewood and others. Is Obama thinking of adding
more to the list ? ? Stop threatening others for God's sake.

The other countries of the world are not buffalo countries and
the US should learn to understand. Create havoc inside your own
country by all means but leave other nations alone. You have no
right to lecture others or to threaten others.

You owe a big debt to your minorities and it has not been fully
paid yet. Not even today. Your minority people are still in many
ways treated as buffalo citizens. Shame on you. People like Gates
and Oscar Grant have every right to point accusing fingers. So,
do not lecture or threaten or point fingers at others. Go and
check yourself in the mirror first !

People like Clinton should shut up and stop mouthing all the lies
and practising the falsehoods. Clinton is very evil and Obama should
get rid of her. Now.

Everyone must be aware of the deep illness inside the US today !

Forget all the empty talk and the fake smiles !!! Away with all
the threats against other nations !!!! No to evil sanctions !!!
