Remember the story about the black professor, “a quiet, well-studied apolitical man,” who said that whites should be exterminated (video)? (Right!)
Media coverage was scant. After all, why should we care about the ramblings of a “powerless” black man when the white power structure murders and imprisons “African Americans” every day? (Sarcasm off)
Kambon explains his statement, in a manner of speaking:
In a seven-page statement that was videotaped for later distribution and put up on the Web, Kambon set out to not only respond to critics, but even to those who didn’t understand what he says he was saying.
He felt the media ran wild with the “exterminate” line, but did not report the rest of what he said, the context for such a dire and dramatic assessment.
“I made a statement on a panel in Washington, D.C. on October 14, 2005 and today I am prepared to bring remarks on my original comments,” he told a select audience of community supporters.
“My official statement today is that I speak for no one.”
Using that as his recurring theme, Kambon said he “spoke for no one” except “the ancient Afrikans of Kemet – the original name that was changed by the Greeks of Egypt – who were invaded and murdered in mass numbers over the course of centuries by” several peoples, including the Arabs, French, British and Romans
Kambon took listeners through a history lesson he was well versed in, recounting the enslavement and “murder” of “Afrikans” by the Arabs over several centuries; the enslavement and imprisonment of millions of West Africans by the Europeans. (source)
Well, I can say this for the man: at least he acknowledges that Arabs — not just whites — committed atrocities against black folks (not to mention the atrocities they’re committing in 2005), something you’d be hard-pressed to hear or read in mainstream media and among black liberals.
