Which Africans?
I think you're making a huge mistake to portray Africans as one and having any shared experienced. Africa was already divided long -
and doing all the terrible things to itself - before the Imperialists came. It would be hard to argue that, say, a Kenyan is or feels any more connected to West Africans and slavery
(if that is the kind of load you are talking about) than the above Icelandic (
same distance away) ... the Vikings, of course, engaging in their own slavery.
So rather than 'all Africans sharing a perspective' would not it be 'all individuals of a same class' sharing the same perspective, e.g. slaves of all heritages versus slavers of all heritages? Example, go to Africa today and a large proportion of Pygmies still live as slaves to Bantu masters ... which one shares "the load"?
I think the BKs comments about Black Africans arose from East Africa where they are established amongst the Sindi/Hindi community there (
as usual mainly Gujeratis, Gujeratis have always been the primary hosts for the parasitic BKs expansion) ... which looks down upon majority blacks for their "savage", unevolved, and particularly libidinous ways. Alcohol, such as chang’aa (
literally meaning “kill me quick”) - being a big part of it.
It's funny because, again, it's a case of the BKs following the (
cough, money) British, as it was the British that took the Gujeratis to Africa to build railways. The same Kenyan Asians became the foundations for BK expansion in London and Leicester.
Indians took India with them when they went to Africa and African culture just did not measure up to ancient Hindu culture.
I suspect it was in Kenya where rather than being servants of the 'Lord of the Poor' (as they call their god spirit) the BKs invested themselves hooking up with the hugely wealthy Nizar Juma who fronted up for their '
Future of Power' PR programme. I don't think he's a BK proper ... I think the BKs are doing their usual thing or
pumping up some VIP and standing along side him taking profits as they go. See, there's
no mention of them in the Press Releases.
You want to know how much of a joke the BKs are, and how insenitive to Africans? ... Look, they pump up one of their Brian Bacon trained 'Self Management Leadership' gurus
Anthony Phelips to shadow Juma, pressumably keeping him on script and picking up the contacts ...
Juma is being accompanied by Anthony Phelips from Oxford, the United Kingdom, and advisor to the board of Nestle (Switzerland) for the conference in the city.
But they make their usual exaggerated boast about him being "an advisor to the board of Nestle".
Now, I'll contact Nestle to find out how much of an "advisor" Phelips is (and I'll bet you he is not) ... but, in the meanwhile, Google '
Nestle baby killer scandal Africa'. Whilst 200 groups in over 100 countries boycott Nestle for its baby killing in Africa, the BK suck up them for the money and use the business connection for prestige and to establish creditibility.
See;
here and
here - an informal discussion of business ethics, of the like the Brahma Kumaris never have.
At the forefront of these scandals is the infamous Nestle Baby Milk Scandal, which began in the 1970’s and has yet to fully subside.
The scandal began when Nestle decided to switch its main baby milk demographic to poor mothers in developing countries.
The company realized they could exploit the mothers, and was quickly able to get across the false impression that its milk was tastier and healthier than breast feeding, which was later proved scientifically false and was a major catalyst for a national reform and marketing standards soon after.
However, the damage had already been done. After Nestle’s aggressive and relentless marketing and advertising in many countries within Africa, Asia, and South America, many mothers of young infants believed that feeding their children Nestle bottled milk would bring their child a better life, and still do this day since sales have remained steady over time.
According to UNICEF ... who the Brahma Kumaris also boast about being connected too ... 1.5 million lives of infants could be saved every year with a return to breastfeeding practices and a reduction of artificial feeding.
Mostly African.
I suppose the BK view is, "oh, well, they are all going to die in Destruction anyway ... like flies visiting the dung heap of humanity for a birth or two at the end of the Kalpa cycle".
