I saw two swastika stone carvings in a wall in China, kinda like portal grates ... I think they were pointed the opposite way though... I have a picture somewhere but my web server crapped out a while back ... :o(

Interesting. I waded through a good deal of it and it reminded me of why I refused to study history in the 3rd and 4th form. It's not that it's not true, in parts, but it has nothing much to do with what I'm doing now. Oh, sure, it's how I got here and the context in which I'm bogged down, but it doesn't define where we go from here. It does explain the nexus between the German Aryan Master Race and the Swastike reasonably. I was interested in the House Negro part [among others]. <As in the case of house Negroes, these house Indians enjoy great privilege from Western institutions either directly or indirectly. Kapoor continues his description of these self-hating Indians: > I find House Indians and Negroes useful today. For example, I employ Sanjay Jha to look after part of Qualcomm. He gets more pay than me. I'm a House Kiwi. He provides the know how and I provide a bit of capital. Look how much pay he gets: swz.salary.com Pretty good for a House Indian I reckon. Condoleezza Rice seems to do a reasonable job in the White House. Colin Powell too. I pay House Negro Harry Belafonte to sing some happy songs. dir.salon.com Likewise, Africans [I get the impression] were doing better when they were part of the British Empire and they were House Negroes. I was a House Kiwi for BP Oil. It was the best I could come up with. "Freedom" wouldn't have meant much to me. I preferred the cash flow which led to my freedom. Our son was a House Gaijin for Livedoor and is still one for Japanese snow board tourists. I suspect Sanjay Jha is thinking along similar lines. I doubt he's a self-hating House Indian. The son of some friends from Cochin works in the USA for Google, as the father worked for Alcatel in Belgium [where we met them]. I have never noticed a hint of self-hating about them. On the contrary. I don't see anything wrong with being a House Indian, though being the House is of course better still. I'm still just a House Serf to Helen Clark, so I have a way to go before I'm free and it seems very unlikely that it'll happen, since I'm surrounded by Uncle Toms. But I live in hope. Mqurice
