Was Gandhi racist? It was a question, not a fact. Please read the title of the thread carefully.

However, alot of people also think Marcus Garvey was racist when he is seen as abit of a hero by others(myself included)Everyone has a different view on racism I guess.

Whatever happened to him? He made one good movie and no one ever heard of him again.

Come on, Livia, get with the program. Arista was just explaining that racism was only invented within the last 60 years.

Feel the force























Unless it's black.

his opinion was not abnormal for the time, doesn't change the fact that it was by definition racist. Many great men and women from the past were though, doesn't change the impact they had

No Racism is a Problem.
but not the same as 60 years or more ago.

Ghandi would demand that Martin Luther King was deported from his country, so YES Ghandi was racist.

how fun would it be to see MLK and Ghandi have a hunger strike against eachother though!!! now THAT would be good TV.

I'd put my money on MLK. USA USA USA!!!!

lol.

Marc, I love your humour.

On topic though, I personally don't think he was racist,from what I have read and learned as to him but I couldn't say for sure 100% obviously.

he was definitely racist. that doesn't mean he was a bad person though. All the founding fathers of the US were racist, that doesn't mean they were bad though.

I'm sure everyone here has parents that have said sexist, or homophopbic or racist things, that doesn't mean they are evil people.

Being racist doesn't automatically make you a bad person.

There are plenty of really good and kind and awesome racist people in the world. you can't define someone's worth based on just one aspect.
