Now I have seen everything. Here is a link to the story.
His racism and sexism are being called into question.

I didn't know Gandhi was white.

Heard that yesterday. I was pretty shocked by it but then remembered it's NPR so I should have expected it.

Anything historically viewed as "good" has to be tarnished now to discredit the past and the morality established through that past.

Looks like they've run out of white males to demonize.

On to the minorities!

NPR is awful.

SJWs are desperately trying to revise history.

Now, six decades later, many black Africans are calling Gandhi a racist. #MeToo activists are questioning his sexual practices. Hindu nationalists are rejecting Gandhi's vision of a pluralistic India that is strengthened by diversity.
These people are fricking lunatics.

Ghandi said some very racist things about Africans. He clearly had some very racist view points. This is not made up or new. It is not a secret either.

That said we know how this will play out. Side A will become outraged. Side B will become outraged at their outrage. Side C will be annoyed by both A and B.

I 100% agree. Just remember that during MLK day when posters are teeing off...

NPR does actual reporting and not an opinion piece.

Fox-tards don't know how to handle it.

NPR isn't the first to question Gandhi. Christopher Hitchens did it numerous times throughout his career. While the subject of questioning his racism and sexism is a bit odd. I see nothing wrong with questioning his moral heroism in some aspects.

Ghandi was a nationalist. Liberals think protecting your country through nationalism is evil.

n 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."


I guess that's a little racist, but come on......

Were they racist or an honest statement regarding his first hand observations at that point in time?
