Durban II: all happens in here
During Durban II conference about racism, Mahmoud Ahmedinedjad president of Iran attacked violently Israel. He accused the Jewish state to be racist toward the millions of Arabs living in Israel. The Europeans left the room and quitted the conference. This attitude shows how there is still a lot of misunderstandings when we want to speak about racism.
Racism is a wound in human life. The Durban II conference—which is made to solve the problem of racism on earth—cannot be of any relevance if we don't sit down and avow to ourselves from where come racism. The wound is here, but we don't cure the wound, we say racism has different factors, different origins, and differents ways to be practiced on earth. We don't speak about the wound on itself but about the different symptoms of the illness that touch humanity.
The wound on itself is rooted in the human past and is relevant opposite human glory. The more we are glorious, the less we suffer from racism. For example, if the Africans did what the Americans have done on their lives than it definitely wouldn't be a stigma to have dark skin or frizzy hair. It is all a question about norms. The less we are powerful the more we suffer about racism. The more we can impose our voices the less we suffer about racism. For example, an Arab ennobles himself if he accepts marriage with a European lady. In the same time, an Arab isn't noble enough to get ma
rried with a European upper class lady. The story of Lady Diana and his boyfriend Dody Alfayed is an example to bring to this argument.
The wound of racism is composed by drives back on our unconscious. We ennoble ourselves to get married, to touch or even speak to a race that is superior to ours. It is not biologically true that we are inferiors but there is a historical difference between the two races. I believe that in Africa some peoples might consider themselves inferior to American or Europeans. This is due to a high civilisation clash. While Europeans were in a high civilization, Africans were savages. Is there a possibility to speak, touch, get married with an uncivilized? Can I disrespect myself and get married with a Tuareg while I am an upper class American lady? This is the topic of the book of Paul Bowles: "A tea in Sahara".
We cannot fight these drives back by speaking about how many victims did racism in France!! If there has to be another Durban, why quitting the room while we touch the delicate point of all the conference. Speaking about racism sounds as if speaking to a psychoanalysist. The psychoanalysis cannot take place if we say that there are some points that we haven't got the right to touch. There is racism in the attitude of Israel, it is true and there is more racism if we don't accept to listen to what others want to say about this topic. I don't say that I respect more Ahmedinedjad than the Europeans but, as I said, we have to avow to ourselves the truth in order to get ahead.
