"Until the lion writes its own history, tails of the lion will continue to glorify the hunter (Afrikan proverb)."
Tony Blair's New Nation exclusive (27/11/06) is not an apology or statement of regret/sorrow for the Afrikan (Black) Maafa (colossal destruction) - aka slavery. Although the New Nation commends it as a candid acknowledgement of Britain's role, an intelligent Afrikan-centred analysis reveals a carefully crafted piece of hollow rhetoric; replete with euphemisms, aimed to appease the misinformed, avoid legal pitfalls and circumvent the call for reparations..............

Interesting extract from a paper today
"Some Britons question this amnesiac nation, which has not looked into its own heart of darkness. The historian James Walvin throws a gentle rebuke; it will be seen as an impertinent challenge. "The story of slavery has slipped from Britain's memory," he says. "We must be wary of the triumphalism building up over the white abolitionists and hope for some contrition." Some hope, when Britons are preparing to bathe in warm virtue.
The journalist Gary Younge points out the fictions that have prevailed: "When it comes to constructing mythology, those things we feel the need to remember often take precedence over others we are desperate to forget... collective responsibility for our past successes soon subsides into individual flight from historical infamy." It is as if, after 200 years of freedom, South Africa were to choose to remember FW De Klerk's co-operation with Nelson Mandela without upsetting anyone by reminding them of the human suffering caused by apartheid. Or as if the liberation of Auschwitz (the good news) drives out the starved, dying, dead, blank-eyed camp inmates.
The academic Marcus Wood (white, middle-class, public-school educated) is stinging about presumptuous white fantasists who claim that "freedom" was given to black slaves. Freedom is not, he says, in the gift of any human, and the freed slave is not a jubilant child."
