Libya Rebels'were probably as racist as most arabs.You are providing troops for Qaddafi.The Sudanese refuges were also massacred

One Turkish construction worker described a massacre:We had 70-80 people from Chad working for our company.They were cut dead with pruning shears and axes,attackers saying:You are providing troops for Qaddafi.The Sudanese were also massacred.We saw it for ourselves.i heard this interview on the radio and knew the 'rebels' were probably as racist as most arabs.

to be honest , i don't know what to make of gaddafi. the western media and surprisingly even al jazeera are doing such a blatant character smear job of gaddafi as 'crazy' and his children as not much better that from disgust i have written not so much in his defense but in outrage over the gross lies and war propaganda they keep spouting. which includes the lies about libya being responsible for the cia inspired lockerbie airline bombing.

when the reports from russian military began circulating that their satellite evidence indicates that gaddafi did not use his aircraft to attack protestors as the media had loudly claimed--it was 2003, iraq, "saddam hussein has weapons of mass destruction" and "we don't want the smoking gun to be a mushroom cloud", media and politicians lying-to-justify-an-invasion-and -oil-grab all over again.

my impression of gaddafi as a man is that he seems sincere in his pronouncements of support for a racially 'inclusive' nkrumah / nasser type of pan-africanism/ anti-imperialism .

although he is an arab and not black, at times gaddafi seems like some of my very light complexioned and mixed heritage former comrades from the old student activist days who were staunchly more pro-black, pro-africa and politically more conscious than a lot of racially unmixed blacks .

i was willing to accept these people because of their daily support for black liberation and reliable willingness to do grunt work for and put themselves at risk for the 'cause' when other 'brothers and sisters' balked at the responsibilities. i wonder at times if perhaps gaddafi is legitimately similar to one of these types.

but when i see or am reminded of the pics of the cadre of black female soldiers in libya that western media derisively refers to as gaddafi's female body guards and hear the, as far as i know, still unfounded accusations that he was having sexual relations (media said ' orgies') with these women (as well as the accusations about gddafi and his blonde ukrainian 'nurse' ) and couldn't help wonder if gaddafi was playing both sides of the fence.

did gaddafi the politician believe that the sight of these black women soldiers would strike an impressive chord in blacks throughout the world and encouraging a view of gaddafi's libya as revolutionary , egalitarian and non racist, while at the same time sending also an unconscious reassurance to the racist minds of the arab world by playing on old arab male prejudices and desires about harems of black 'concubines' at an arab leader's disposal ?

also, the media in these recent events and the 'libyans being interviewed consistently refer to blacks in libya as "africans" and the arabs there as" libyans" as if libya is not in africa and where carthage, black hannibal, his soldiers and his battle elephants once fought against rome in the last acts of the struggle to save what was left of what was once a black controlled mediterranean--a struggle beginning with ancient 'troy' and ending with carthage, that i have named "the 1000 year war".They were cut dead with pruning shears and axes,attackers saying:You are providing troops for Qaddafi.
