Quote:
WARSAW, Poland — Poland's Foreign Ministry has condemned a conservative lawmaker who called U.S. president-elect Barack Obama the "black messiah of the new left" and said his victory marks the "end of the civilization of the white man."
Artur Gorski is a little-known member of the opposition right-wing Law and Justice party. He made the remark to parliament on Wednesday, a day after Obama's historic victory as America's first African-American president.
The Foreign Ministry condemned the remark in a statement Sunday and said it will urge Parliament's Ethics Committee to review the case.
Ministry spokesman Piotr Paszkowski says he doesn't know what kind of punishment Gorski could face, but said the government wants to emphasize that it regards the remark as unacceptable.

'DEVIL-LIKE TALENT'
Austrian Journalist Slammed For Racist Obama Rant
Veteran Austrian television personality Klaus Emmerich has triggered a storm of criticism for his racist comments about Barack Obama, the US president-elect.
"I wouldn't want the Western world to be directed by a black man," Emmerich said.
ORF
"I wouldn't want the Western world to be directed by a black man," Emmerich said.
Klaus Emmerich has long been a figure in Austrian television news. His journalism career spans 61 years and includes a stint as a correspondent in Washington D.C. for ORF, Austria's public television station. He is something like the Wolf Blitzer of Austria.
Or, at least, he was. Now, the respected US expert has stained his own report card with a string of blatantly racist remarks regarding the election of Barack Obama in the US. Speaking on a talk show on the Austrian public channel ORF on Wednesday, he said: "I wouldn't want the Western world to be directed by a black man. When you say that is a racist remark: right, without a doubt."
Americans are "racists, now as before, and it must be going very badly for them that they so convincingly ... send a black man, and a black, very good-looking woman, into the White House," he said.
The Austrian broadcaster distanced itself from his views, saying it was against any form of discrimination. "We have never had any comments from Mr. Emmerich which would indicate he has such opinions," Pius Strobl, head of communications at the channel told SPIEGEL ONLINE.
Following his outburst, the moderator prevented the now-retired Emmerich from having another chance to speak, Pius said.
But Emmerich himself voiced no regret. On the contrary, he even took a harder line in subsequent interviews. Obama's victory was an "extremely disconcerting development" he told the Austrian Standard on Wednesday, because "blacks aren't as politically civilized." Meanwhile, he told Die Presse in an interview published on Friday that Obama has "a devil-like talent to present his rhetoric so effectively."
Dieter Brosz, a speaker of the Green Party, was one of many riled by the comments. He urged the channel not to give Emmerich a platform again. "Racist remarks have no place on ORF and are to be avoided."

I would like to see the Polish politician publicly try to define "white civilization". That would be comical in itself.
I'm going to assume he means European Christian nations (something that used to be called Christendom...but I'm guessing he is not talking about Middle Eastern or African Orthodox Christians)...uhm that is a guess.
The racism against Blacks is so overwrought, like this David Hume (1711-1776), quote, that I’m apt to think there is more going on then meets the eye. My research after ‘Black and coloured’ Europeans who were an elite does at present not has many believers. Blacks seem addicted to their victim role and do not like to hear of Black slave master and Whites don’t want to hear that they were ruled by a coloured nation (1500-1789). I came to think of this group as an elite when all famous philosophers showed up with ‘Black portraits´: Racine, Voltaire, Rousseau, Kant and Hume. Recently I have been wondering if all the Africans which entered Europe 40.000 years ago perished, became extinct, miraculously turned white or that some might have survived till the 19th century; looking like a ‘mixed race nation.’

I am apt to suspect the negroes and in general all the other species of men (for there are four or five different kinds) to be naturally inferior to the whites. There never was a civilized nation of any other complexion than white, nor even any individual eminent either in action or speculation. No ingenious manufactures amongst them, no arts, no sciences. On the other hand, the most rude and barbarous of the whites, such as the ancient GERMANS, the present TARTARS, have still something eminent about them, in their valour, form of government, or some other particular. Such a uniform and constant difference could not happen, in so many countries and ages, if nature had not made an original distinction betwixt these breeds of men. Not to mention our colonies, there are Negroe slaves dispersed all over EUROPE, of which none ever discovered any symptoms of ingenuity; tho’ low people, without education, will start up amongst us, and distinguish themselves in every profession. In JAMAICA indeed they talk of one negroe as a man of parts and learning; but ‘tis likely he is admired for very slender accomplishments, like a parrot, who speaks a few words plainly. 7

Which blacks and whites are you speaking of? There is no global black or white community.

The talking and writing nation to which we all belong. Such an article has a worldwide impact, just as the elevation to the presidency of one Obama has a great impact on all of us. And yes, I generalised a bit.
