Ghandi Is Cancelled?

In 1903, when Gandhi was in South Africa, he wrote that white people there should be "the predominating race." He also said Black people "are troublesome, very dirty and live like animals."

There's no way around it: Gandhi was a racist early in his life, says his biographer Ramachandra Guha.

Has Ghandi been to India?

Just kidding. There is a group that want to tear down Ghandi's statue. They already did in Ghana. The man who help liberate India from British colonial rule in 1947. Much like Nelson Mandela and Apartheid, this is really bizarre.

I grew up thinking Ghandi was the peaceful bald headed dude who sent waves of his own people to be clubbed to death until the British couldn't handle their own savagery enough that they stopped. THAT is civil disobedience. Today...people think looting Target is the same. This generation is retarded.

Anyway, he's being re-contextualized as a racist. Which he was when he was young. He dropped all that pretty quickly. Even influenced Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. (who was no saint himself). I think our society today wants to be the first to uncover deep dark secrets of a famous person or someone whom we have put as the icon of a certain movement. It undermines the person. Like Homer Simpson once said "If he's so great, why is he dead?"

Everyone is flawed. Some more than others. What I see from the modern Left is that they refuse to believe people have changed, but don't realize that would mean their history would be called into serious question. But people want to be steadfast in their belief. And most arguments/debates are moot if you know the person is unwilling to listen. Which is the problem of the Left. They surely don't want your facts to cloud their feelings. Here they turnaround and use historical facts to support their feelings. It's a super weird way to go about life.

But here's how you can remain distant to this idiocy. Know that they have to live life like this. They suffer with this contention that nothing will ever be right enough and the world is unfair. Life is VERY fair. With very unfair moments. Ghandi's good seemed to outweigh his bad. It is odd to me how we cherry pick what we choose to forgive. Only if it follows your agenda, I suppose.
