6. I had the joy to meet the Emperor Haile Selassie, Lion of Judah, around that time of that speech

There is so much truth in his words and so much ignorance in the western world of the horrors that have been inflicted on the African continent, as well as other non-European populations.

What most of us don't really understand, even with a good sense of history, is how much subjugation the Europeans inflicted on their friends/allies while trying to establish hegemony. This of course applies to the Axis during WW-II, but many centuries before and many years after, by most.

Thank you very much, OneGrassRoot and Malaise.

This is not only a matter of my skin color (white as can be) or anyone else's. It is a matter of humanity caring for each other. In many countries around the world peaceful co-existence and love does exist. Forces of hatred and war don't like this.
