STOCKHOLM (FRIA TIDER). A macabre scene with racist undertones took place on Saturday when Swedish minister of culture Lena Adelsohn Liljeroth attended a tax funded party for the Stockholm cultural elite. The self-proclaimed "anti-racist" Liljeroth declared the party officially started by slicing a piece of a cake depicting a stereotypical African woman.

Photos from the party at World Art Day have already been released on Facebook and are now going viral in social media.

The shocking photos show several established left-wing members of the Stockholm cultural elite watching and laughing as Minister of Culture Lena Adelsohn Liljeroth slices a cake depicting a black African woman with minstrel-esque face.

Lena Adelsohn Liljeroth was invited to open the festivities by performing a clitoridectomy on the cake, which she did by slicing off the part of the cake depicting female genitalia. She then proceeded to feed that part of the cake to a performance artist, done up in blackface, his head protruding through the table.


The body screams every time someone slices a piece.

The events that unfolded at the party stand in stark contrast to Lena Adelsohn Liljeroth’s official political posititions. Publicly she advocates a strict hard-line approach against racism. When in 2010 the Swedish nationalist newspaper Nationell Idag managed to acquire enough subscribers to qualify for state-funded press subsidies she immediately took action to change the country’s press subsidy laws.

- It is distasteful to support extremist newspapers, Lena Adelsohn Liljeroth was quoted as saying in the government publication Riksdag & Departement, promising measures to deprive newspapers with ”racist” content of press subsidies.

- Although this is a question of freedom of expression, we dont want taxpayers’ money to support this form of media, she further noted.

Why government funds should be used to pay for cakes such as the one served last weekend, has yet to be explained by Liljeroth.

    Well its obvious modern day poltical agendas are working fine still. Look at all the division in this post….Maybe one day we will become civilized enough to understand what our real battles are. Racism is another political agenda…. if you want to be a hand in oppression of humanity continue to submit to the illusions given to you by systems who don’t care about you nevermind the rest of the world. I think that’s called a tool. Try to grow your consciousness to understand when you’re being used. Every human deserves better. Give yourself a chance.

    This art exhibit just didn’t go well. The artist’s attempt to bring attention to something they consider to be an issue got lost in translation.

    PS – There are some who practice the removal of the skin covering the clitoris (and its thin) as part of spiritual processes, similar to how circumcision is done. It is called excision. It usually happens soon after the birth of a girl and is done with all its rights and rituals associated with it. Unfortunately as with everything (sex, food, education, etc) there are those who take something clean and make it dirty. Be sure to keep an open mind and try not to generalize everything. There is much for modern mankind to learn about the history of things that have been corrupted. I understand there is difference in what I shared and what some women are enduring and suffering from, just don’t misjudge others things by it.

    Okay wishing us all the best.

      Black America has done nothing to the Swedish. But blacks from Africa who have immigrated to Sweden frequently rape, murder and rob Swedes.

        White people have done terrible things to Blacks.  I do not hate white people for this.  I have real intelligence.  Many so called educated people just read and remember what is in a book but rarely know how to relate that knowledge in the world.  This is an ignorant party attended by ignorant people.  All Africans do not steal!!  All Whites are not racists!! 

        • http://www.facebook.com/people/Henrik-Agerhall/1804226080 Henrik Agerhäll

          Actually Stacie, if you look at the crime statistics from the USA on who is commiting crimes on who you will se that people of recent subsaharan origin is grossly overrepresentated in assults, robberies and rape. Statistically blacks commiting crimes on white is much more common than whites commiting crimes on blacks. So would you not say, Stacie, that today in the USA the blacks are the most racist group? Or do you define racism in some other way?

        The only clear and obvious result that comes from Makode Lindes work is racism and more racism. 
        It’s proven here, and it’s proven elsewere. He’s just spreading ignorance, racism and sterotypes.The artist mixes too many things, he used typical American symbols and mixed them with Africa…He’s been in artschool, but thats not the same as being intellectually educated. He seem to be quite ignorant himself. He is Swedish and just want to provoke to get known. It worked. A lot of whites would love to have his sterotypes on their walls.

    Art?!  If you think this is art you are an arse.  The participants know as much about black culture as Stalin did.   I hope Lisbeth Salander hacks your computers, and does some GM on you.  Good bye, culture minister.  

    • Anonym

      Well, the CREATOR of the cake is BLACK, maybe he know someting about black culture….

      • Anonym

        No Per. 

        The ”CREATOR”  is not ”BLACK”, and his not God;)
        What do you mean with ”black culture”? The artist doesn’t know anything of black culture, he knows about Swedish culture. Makode Linde is a Swedish guy. His skin might be brown, but he never been in any African country. His mother is Swedish and he is born here.With other words, he didn’t grew up with in a black family, black society, with black relatives. He didn’t immigrate from Ghana or in any other African country. He doesn’t have any realtionship to the US at all, no connection with American black culture either. He just doesn’t have a clue of the painful degrading history behind blackface and minstrels shows, and what they really mean to people who has that background. He has no grandparents and anchestors who lived it. Those symbols were used in a time in the US when people were lynched in the south. Believe me he doesn’t have a clue.The ignorance that I find interesting is comments like the comment Per had: ”but the artist is black” as if it then MUST be right. Must be antiracist or smart, ambiguous and has something to say. The analyses are so desperate looking for some concept to explain what the artist wanted to say –  no critical thinking at all….because the artist is ”b l a c k”Isn’t that rasism in itself:)Don’t judge the art by looking at the art, judge it based on the colour of the artist skin? Per, knowledge about black history and the way racism are built in the society doesn’t come from DNA or sperm. It comes from growing up with parents who are in contact with their ”black history” by close connection to their heritage, by their parents, grand parents relatives and their background, experience and so on. Is to be taught things, and learn by listening and one owns experience.  This is exactly the perception and the reaction people in Sweden who are so ignorant when ot comes to black history and the lack of experience of racism.

        If you don’t know why the N-word could be destructive even if black people using them themself thgis 11 year old kid can tell you more about it, and about black history:

  • Grävskopan

    It is not white people who mutilate black women´s genitals, but the pictures make it looke like it was so. That´s way both black and white people can feel hurt. A very bad thing to do, and the guy (who is neither white nor black) who did it, was hiding himself under the offending scene when the black woman was cut. He is using both black and white people for his own purposes. He got a name as an artist, the white got a reputation of being brutal racists, and the black were humiliated in public.      

    • Anonym

      Exactly.

  • http://profile.yahoo.com/MFTQXGWVKDXUJAFLUDYOAXMBGU Lav

    They could have drawn attention the issue in a more respectful way. As a black woman residing in Sweden, I feel humiliated.  This was done in poor taste. 

    • Anonym

      The artist goal was not to draw attention to anything else than himself. 

      In the beginning he claimed a long list of different statements. One was that he wanted to show with the cake that violence against women exist everywhere….not just in the Africa as FGM. 
      But who had that perception to begin with? And who would look at a ridicul caricature of a women, listen to his scream and think about violence in a Swedish cottage!? 

      I think the artist needs to be updated. Take a course in empathy too.
      Also, the discussion today is more focused on honor-killings, and violence against native women in Sweden for example.  This is the major discussion when it comes to violence against woman in Sweden today:
      http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vOqAVTZY1Ok&feature=related

      It’s always better when women speaks out for themself, instead of having an ignorant man trying to be art-cool with empty attributes. People who are engaged and have knowledge by own experience or just working with it FGM find Makode Lindes cake and the occassion at the art museum very disturbing. I think it’s an act of stupidity and ignorance, and I just can’t to find anything intelligent with it. 
      There is a British petition one can sign to defend oneself form racist stereotypical imagery and react to the Swedish Minister of Cultures participation in Moderna:
      http://www.change.org/petitions/minister-of-culture-sweden-apologise-for-the-display-of-offensive-artwork-of-black-women

      The artist finally admitted that he didn’t know anything about A f r i c a,  nor any of the issues that he first presented as a explanation to the cake. It was quite obvious that he didn’t have much knowledge about slavery, about the horror and the reality around blackface and minstrel shows in the US either. He’s also seem ignorant about the black immigrants in Sweden, who had to learn the language and the culture oppose to him being a Swede. The artist himself is born by a Swedish woman in Sweden. So he of course  know more about Sweden than any other country. He didn’t even know a Afro Swedish organisation existed. The irony in all this is, by making caricatures of black people, is probably the only way he could become known in Sweden. Swedes are clueless on these issues. The artworld see him as black and his project as deep and intelligent only because they don’t know anything about it. So by looking exotic to the artworld, gallerists and making these exotic pieces he could be accepted. It’s a sad story in a way.

    Don’t you see this is an exhibition to raise awareness about genital mutulation … And it got the message out very clear to the world, what I can see. It was not meant to be about a crying cake, but to make people aware of the pain FGM is causing people in Africa – every day. And then is not just a cake being cut. Well done for an artist to reach out like this.

      Sven, that was not the message, it was the opposite, it’s just your projection.
      On the other hand, if it had been the message, why should it be important to make people aware of?
      Most people knows about it already. It’s really something people in those countrys that have the problem should work on, not Sven Hedenskog or a bunch of Swedish people. I mean this stupid cake it is not popular among anyone working against genital mutulation. It was extremely offensive, and didn’t have any seriosity what so ever. So please… 

      Makode Lindes first explanation was: ” FGM is often seen as opression of women. I wanted to show by this cake that opression of women can be found everywhere, not just in ”Africa”.(!?) Not that obvious was it? And later he said: ”I don’t know anything what so ever about Africa or FGM, the cake is just about me”

  • http://www.facebook.com/666oracle Thuto Moloi

    This is a very graphic way of fighting a horrible event such as FGM.  I do not like this kind of art personally, but what i am happy about is that it was effective enough to cause such a stir around the world.. I just hope that when people are finished bashing this cake, they will come back to the real issue at hand, and not just post comments about racism and forget the true purpose of this awareness.  The real sad story is that there are documentaries about FGM, yet they never get this kind of publicity, and believe me when I say they are heartbreaking.  This is just a cake, and those who are outraged are just proving how ignorant they are, and no I am not white, I am a black South African person, and i know true racism.

    • Anonym

      This wasn’t about FGM. FGM was the artist’s pretense to get these self-satisfied women from the chattering classes to be a part of the scene of racism he had staged. The chattering women were there to demonstrate their openmindedness and unparallelled sense of humanity; the artist had them there to play the role of whites. This artist has a history so it’s quite easy to see what he was after.

      And the performance succeeded. These insular, conformist, to various degrees ignorant women didn’t know how to act in front of the screaming charicature cake and then did what they do best–namely go along with what their peers were doing. The trap closed. The scene in itself, the images produced, is racist, no question; but there are no racist acts or motives. No racist motives except possibly for one. Beacuse can you really see FGM being the topic in this wildfire that is spreading around the world? I can’t.

      But I like your level headedness and sense of proportion. More people need to be like you.

        There were 8 artist and 8 cakes. It was just because she walked up to this cake it happend. If she had made another choice the world would not know about this. Nobody would write about it. I guess she regret her choice at that minute.
        If she instead refused to cut the cake, and moved on to the next, Makode had been sitting there under the table with no oppurtunity to scream:)

        I do not agree with nothing you post on this site today.  You sound like a closet racist.  Think how Whites have destroyed the Native americans and African countries.  For many years in the USA, Whites killed Native Americans and Blacks.  Slavery was about racism but mostly about money.  American is a rich country. Many people are not happy because they only think of money.  Hate is in every race of people.  So get off bashing Black people.  This is a poor way of making awareness of FGM.

      I don’t get it? 
      There is no doors to open about the view against FGM in Sweden. The occation at the Museum was not meant to be spread and shown on all news channels around the world. It just happen because the culture minsiter happend to walk up to this cake instead of the eight other artits cakes with other motives. Because  she happend to choose Makode Lindes cake, and cut it, and even feeded the artist . He sat under the table with his head sticking up in a whole beside the cake to made it look like the female ckae was alive and screaming everytine someone cut from it. I think it was tasteless.
       Another artist took pictures of the Culture Minister cutting the cake and then sold the pictures to TT and other press channels. The cake was only meant to be shown in Sweden, but because the culture minister did what she did – the news was spread. It didn’t look good.Since 20 year FGM is forbidden in Sweden, The law was created because, I guess, to protect female girls that immigrated with their parents from culture that practicing FGM. It’s not a Swedish problem or issue by itself. The world knows about it already, it’s no news. There are organizations working against it in the countries were it’s exist.  When the artist mixed associations with FGM and at the same time used American blackface symbols thas was used in Minstrels show it was really sending out a confusing message. I didn’t make sense at all!?

    What really gets me outraged it not that these images are extremely awckward for my southerner sense of humour.  The issue is is not about a black man also being able to ”eat” a white woman as Evgeny claims. Have fun everyone, for all I care. The issue is that it is people like these who come down from their mountain to preach southerners that bullfights are cruel, immoral and whatever is their argument. I don’t go up to your village with holier than thou smiles wagging fingers at illiterates who do not respect high moral standards. Danes kill their dolphins by the tonne, and they are happy. For some reason cruelty done there in their elegant villages looks ok and good for their boys.
    In Portugal there is no Race Institute as there is in Sweden and we have one of the best tropical Medicine Institutes in the world.So next time you come preaching moral rectitude, I need not tell you what you can do with it. 
    This event is healthy socially because we usully have only one story about scandinavians, a positive one, and as for africans a disempowered one, but there are many about all of us, not all nice to tell as bedtime stories. Svenska sällskapet för rashygien, would they be happy with this event? 
    For me this is a good opportunity for all of us to admit that whatever the latitude we can be really dumb. Let’s admit this common denominator and try moving upwards…

    Would everyone feel better if this was white woman. Sure, its a little over the top. What if the cake was a man, for example.

  • Evgeni Khmara

    Ok, it is a bit harsh, kinda noir, (sorry i don’t mean to be racist;). But, yes, but. Let’s stop dispersing our attention on things that really really don’t endanger our world. I’m pretty sure if tables were turned, and we would have a bunch of black people eating a white woman cake, it definitely would not cause the same uproar in social media. Which is quite ironic, because, how many black man ”eat” white women (aka have sex with) and how many white men ”eat ” black women”???? Ask yourself that!!! If you want to face the answer and real problem, that is.

  • big tisk

    i see a black human lookin cake with a face screaming with agonising pain. their is a hidden mesage in this. why wsnt this cake painted white and screaming with pain! or better yet, why didnt the artist PUT HIS MOTHERS FACE ON THE CAKE screaming in pain. do you know why he didnt put his mother’s face? its because he loves and value’s her. you do not hurt that which you value and you do not wish to see that wich you love in pain, be it wether you express it in art or reality. NOW DO THE MATH.

    This is disgusting and I am not suprised with the act. I know most people regard Sweden as a place whre the human rights are respected. I once experinced racism in stolkholm 2006 when me and my clasmate from russia went to the club down town. , as a black man when we talk we more like italians using gestures and a white swdish giant came to our table asking my white friend if she was in trouble yet he saw her loughing having good time with a black male. again I attended a party with the likes of swedish celebrities Ayesha and Peeter where a bouncer just man handled the only unknown black male and pushed out after I was correcting  some white dudes who had a wrong perceptions about africans and their traditions puting christianity as the best. Sweden have silent racism. I want to conclude by saying I will not judge many white swedish people because one stupid two timing hypocrete showed some disrespect to blacks. I want all swedish people to stop using the word molate.

             Yeah, Barack Obama is an illiterate, goat humping African. Of course you wouldn’t realize that there are many other black people on the planet who are not the refuges that make up a whopping 0.1% of your population.

            Russia is big and bad enough that they can get away with being racist. (Even though the Russian people still live in squalor and they would probably be better off if they learned some manners.) Sweden is tiny with few natural resources and has no ”bullying” power militarily. Even Norway has more leeway to ”do their own thing” thanks to their oil. Many original Swedish brands have now been bought by foreign companies and the few brands that have remained ”Swedish” are only Swedish in name only.  Good luck trying to conduct international business and international politics with black and brown heads of state and CEOs. Not that I would expect anyone of your caliber to be in such a position anyways. I guess you would blame that bit of your life on the foreigners keeping you down, eh?

            • http://profile.yahoo.com/XR5LO5PHR6FKYZEW4JNPZ7IW64 Tylle Steinmetz

              Barack Obama wasn’t even born in the United States. I’m sure he’s never humped a goat, but he was most likely born in Africa.

              The 0.1 % you’re speaking of is closer to 9% and increasing.
              And why do you have a problem with Russia? Have you ever been to Russia?
              I know russians and they’re all educated well mannered people who wouldnt hurt a living soul. So that sounds pretty racist to me.

              The reason our companies have been sold off and left our country is the same as ever. Political treason.
              Our politicians have been bought, and they’re now selling us out. Nation, culture and people. We are still able to make money on our weapons though. But it’s only a matter of time before they get rid of that aswell.

              And yes. Foreigners actually do keep us down. Their role in Europe is that of an anchor.
              They have no jobs, and they’re not interested in getting one.
              They live on our welfare, while they get more and more babies. More babies than a nation can handle.

               We’re being replaced by africans and arabs and we’re getting more and more cranky due to all the shit we have to put up with.
              We now read about foreign pedophiles, rapists and killers every day. Even goat humpers. Yes. Some people actually hump goats.
              So yeah. People here are getting pissed. Because we have never experienced this type of violent society before.

              Now this whole thing about the black cake is just a stupid misunderstandig.
              The lady wasnt racist. She was confused and didnt know how to react.
              It was a cake. She was supposed to cut it. She then tried to ease the pressure with some comic relief,, by feeding the cake it’s own genitals… brilliant.

               Of course, I’m sure you have nothing to do with this. All that connects you to all this is the colour of your skin. And you obviously feel offended as a coloured person because we’re saying we’re tired of black people. What can I say?

              I’m sorry we’re tired of black people (but not all of them)? I’m sure not even you would wanna live in Africa these days.

              Anyway, you clearly identify with black people no matter what their mentality is, and you’ve shown that you’re ready to discard an entire nation of people the second one of them shows hostilty towards ”your people”.

              In the end, you’re not very different from the guy you reacted to in the first place.

              Barack Obama is, as I guess you know, 50 percent caucasoid so in case he is humping goats and goat humping is a heritable trait it is hard to know who gave him the goat humping genes. That is, of course, if it is not y-chromosome related in which case he must have gotten it from his father.

             Wow. Sad to think that we brown people actually felt sorry for you guys when Breivik killed all those people. I had no idea I was feeling sorry for racists! I suppose we should leave Swedes alone and not invest in their economy, not shop at Ikea stores around the world and stop all tourism to your country. Yes, we’ll stop all that, ignore you, and go back to humping our goats. If other Breivik-types come out and kill your citizens, do keep that to yourselves, us goat-humpers have other Europeans we’d rather give a damn about.

          Japan or Korea have the same xenophobic attitude and are faring just fine. You are just applying different standards to all white states, even though Sweden didn’t even buy any slaves from African kingdoms historically. Amusingly, Apartheid South Africa fared better socio-economically than modern South Africa even with all the economic sanctions that it deserved a lot more than a nationalist Sweden.

          I just don’t understand why, for heaven’s sake, should Sweden be obliged to import and love Africans?

          You think Sweden is the only one who did that?  I read about that, and most of the people sterilized were female Swedes.  They did the same thing in America, but focused on minorities, poor people, people with ‘epilepsy’, anyone with a felony arrest; all types of parameters.  If a very young black girl came in having a baby the doctors would sterilize them right after the delivery.  And let me tell you something else, since I moved to Sweden, in my suburb I see almost no Swedes.  I don’t know who you think you are watching or WHY or why you think it’s your job to, or why you even give a shit; but Swedes have the right to live any way they want to, without some outsider ‘wagging their finger’ at them.  Now WHERE DID I JUST hear that?  OH YEAH, you said it about your own country.

      Sweden’s answer: No. We will not stop using the word molate (whatever that means). Mulatto?
      Racism is natural. I’ve experienced it myself in Japan, and you know what? I was completely fine with it.
      Because Japan is Japan and I am not Japanese. And there you have it. You can’t ask to be treated and seen as a fellow citizen in a culture you don’t belong to in the first place. Especially not when the people you belong to has a bad reputation. Infact you should just be thankful if people even talk to you like they would a normal person.

    The worst racists are those who call themselves anti-racists. These disgusting pictures are a shocking proof of the fact. All these white persons, women and men, who stand around the insulting “piece of sculpture”, laugh and lift there cameras to get a snapshot of something they think is only amusing and a marvellous joke. None of them thought one second which effect these pictures would have upon people from other countries, cultures, and of another complexion.
     
    This is really bad, but yet not the worst. The worst thing is that the same persons and their likes have during three decades purposedly destroyed the swedish society by letting too many people immigrate, and thus creating enormous problems: unemployment, housing shortage, segregation,  slums and ghettos, increase of crime, insecurity, conflicts between groups of people, deteriorating social care and health care, and so on. Every time somebody tried to protest against this insanity, he or she was called a racist, xenophobic or nazist. How you ever tried, you could not criticize this politics without being called names, and so the absurd show went on.
     
    Now we are harvesting the fruits of a sowing of dragon´s teeth. These people, who have created this misery, isolate themselves in their own housing areas, letting us others pay the bill. Who is going to get the bad consequences of this cake party? Not these persons themselves, but we who are white, but have no power. We are going to be hated and called racists because of something that someone else have done, and that we have had no means to stop or even know that this kind of  project was planned. The guy who made the cake, did not cut it himself, he is a cunning one. He let a white woman (who, of cousre, could and should have denied!) to play the most offensive role, so as to lead all aggressions towards the white people. The woman herself, who did it, has during many years been active in swedish politics in a way that has badly damaged our society. She did what she did, because she does not care about us or our country, but of herself and her own career.

    To all international readers:

    This is another glimpse at the total fall of the swedish society. The so called ”anti-racist” left wing feminist-movement are untouchable in Sweden an can do as they please. (Fortunately this scandal has been spread around the world)  The only thing that is remarkable about this is the fact that the ”victim” in this case is of african heritage. But come to think about it, why should they care about them when there are so many parties to attend and so much fun to have instead of acting in the interest of women in need.

    They call themselves left wing – but live in areas most swedish people could never afford with the rest of the establishment (politicians on all sides, media etc.) They endorse immigration but would never accept living in a diversified areas, in fact you probably couldn’t find more homogenous housing areas in the western world. If the muslim community would like to build a mosque close to these areas you can be sure that’s not going to happen. If the municipal real estate company tries to establish a housing for refugees near them – that’s not going to happen. Most of these so called left wing seem to look at immigrants as cheap labour, just like the right wing.    
       
    They are ”anti-racist” – which I considered being a code word for anti-white, but having seen these pictures it might apply on all people who are not them though. 

    They are feminist – meaning they hate men, white men in particular probably because they don’t consider foreign men competing on their level, and couldn’t care less about the situation for neither domestic or foreign women who are real victims of violence etc.

    The system historically sure favored men, and you might think they are looking to equal that issue but in my opinion they rather want to replace themselves in that position.

    Like many international readers have suggested – Sweden is sick – I couldn’t agree more.

    This is another government fund project in Sweden called SCUM (society for cutting up men) and their tax paid contribution for feminism:

      You deliberately inaccurately define feminism. Would you call patriarchy or male dominance in just about everything in society woman hating?  A FEW women engaging in distasteful fringe activities does not make feminisn man hating, & stop pretending that women have historically oppressed men & continue to degrade them, it’s vice versa.

      Also, your implication that feminism, which is STANDING UP FOR WOMEN’S RIGHTS & HUMANE TREATMENT, is only a white woman phenomenon. That’s pure ignorance. Sweden is run by the Zionists, so they do their best to distort & exploit things like this matter. THEY are the ones who are after white men, not women. Do some damned research; you’re so eager to blame everything on women but the facts don’t support you.

      In a country where coffee shop owners stand trial for hate crime when calling their pastries ”negro ball” (negerboll is a traditional Swedish pastry and in no way related to the colonial slave trade) this is shocking. There is, of course, always a context to everything.

          Negro litterary means ”black” in spanish. Neger in swedish is comparable to Nigger in english. In other words it’s not at all the same. Negerboll refers to the color of the ball (brown) because black people are brown. It’s an old name because it was given to the pastry when racism was a part of the swedish daily life (come on we we were leaders in race biology and shit). It’s a racist name and claiming that it isn’t and that it’s tradition is just plain ignorant. Seriously why not just call it by the way more used name chokladboll (chocolate ball) if it means that no one gets offended by it.

          It’s not like you would be allowed to call something Nigger ball in the US

          • Great Goliath

            Thank you, I was just about to say the very same thing. ”Negro” and ”neger” are not the same. Negro is a colour, neger is not. No swed uses the word neger as a colour (as in a I bought a  neger shirt). The use of the word neger is very specific and is used to denote a race of inferior humans (yes negrer och niggers were and are considered inferior humans or subhumans as the realists/racists say). It’s not the same word as Negro or black in spanish. The question is of course why people deny it and why they insist upon using what is a racist term (neger). Instinct would say that only racists would use racists words…

      • Great Goliath

        This is of course untrue, look at your link, the pastry never went to trial. It was not a case of hate crime either. It was considered insulting and hateful. Was it an overreaction, yes in my opinion it was. It’s not necessary to investigate such a thing and yes DO came with a recommendation that  pastry that call it Negerboll should be fined (which I greatly dislike) but you are bending the truth imo.

        • http://bortkopplad.se/bloggo bloggo

          The ”negro ball”-case was tried by the Swedish Anti-discrimination board. They found however the plaintiff not eligible to complain, since he or she was not of African descent and thus could not have been discriminated against. Still there was a legal procedure, which I’m pretty sure will not follow this cake-affair.

The ”truth” you are seeking is that this is a moderately tasteless way of saying women are being tortured in second- and third-world Africa. It has nothing whatsoever to do with racism.

        Thank you! Finally someone with their head fastened on correctly. 

        The piece is meant to provoke. There are elements of shock art; it’s meant to arouse very strong feelings, because raising awareness by saying ”hey, female genital mutilation happens in Africa sometimes” is not doing it. By making the cake a grotesque caricature, it also points to the problem that many Western/white people may be more likely to turn a blind eye to the problem because even though we aren’t *actively* racist,  we are more likely to have dialogue with and help people who we don’t see as different to us. And it’s about oppression and sexism, not race per se.

Whatever the purpose was or is said to have been, it is obvious that the pictures are offending black people. Moreover, if you would like to show the world what is happening in some places in Africa, you shall not put a white woman to do the job. As far as I know, it is never white women (or men) who cut girls in Africa. And it is never, ever several white women and men standing around a girl who is being cut. It is either black men or black women, often the girl´s own female relatives. That, however, nobody could have shown without being accused of being a racist. If you cannot shock in a way that shows the truth without hurting innocent individuals or groups in an unacceptable way, you shall choose another way to act than that of purposedly shocking. This cake party has done much evil to both black and white people.

    I for one feel that this is being blown way out of proportion. It looks to me like they were trying to raise awareness more on female mutilation than to be purposefully racist. Awareness doesn’t really do anything useful for the women it is happening to, but it still gives them an idea of what is happening, especially with a living head on the cake screaming in pain whenever someone cuts into it. I like one of the other videos on it where the guy playing the woman’s head is encouraging one of the partygoers to take a slice of cake when she hesitates.
    Personally, I find it kind of witty and clever, on a rather macabre level.
    This outcry against racism perplexes me. If it were a white woman cake, no one would give a damn. Don’t demand that I care that this cake is supposed to be a black woman because it is racist. One race will not get any more outrage that any other race will get. Equality for all.

      Do you know nothing about the history of minstrelsy or are you that ignorant when it comes to history and social issues?

      If I wanted to ”raise awareness” for Tibet by taping my eyes back, wearing a saffron blanket, and taping fake flames to myself I would be rightly derided. Or what if I wore a fake black hat, fake beard, put a yellow six pointed star on my chest and walked around with a shower nozzle to ”raise awareness” for the holocaust I don’t think anyone would buy it. ”Raising awareness” is such a cop out. This isn’t a hipster irony contest. These are real issues with real lives.

      • http://profile.yahoo.com/75BZJ3NZREM2TSVEZM6VOTLQMQ Melanie

         Hipster irony. Cute.

        I would say that you were pushing your limits and being very vague if you were ”raising awareness” for such broad issues. The artist is taking one specific issue and trying to force people to see it in a way that wouldn’t destroy a celebration.
        I’m sorry that I can step back away from the outrage to try to see what I am being presented. I was not in it to offend, but apparently you are so up-in-arms against someone having an opinion on controversial content that differs from yours that you need to debase yourself by calling me ignorant.

        Yes, they are real issues. Fun fact, before I saw this, I couldn’t care less about these issues, because I had no context in which to take them. I was presented with images, but nothing so graphic and brutal as this. I will support what the artist did because it opened my eyes. Would you rather I continue to be uninterested in the problems of these women that I will never meet in my life? It gave me awareness. I know it gave others awareness. Unfortunately, we are lost in all of the rabble screaming about petty issues such as discrimination based on skin color.

          Your feelings are not the only things that are important on this planet. So are other people’s. If you have a pulse and have cognition you would realize that discrimination based on skin color is far from ”petty”. I am not debasing myself when you reaffirm my OP by creating yet another clueless post.

          Here is a quick history lesson for you since you are not paying me to teach you a college course.

          http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minstrel_show

          You sound VERY young. I suggest you stay away from social sciences for your own good because you have such a poor grasp on such basic issues. Please either stick to hard sciences or a trade. Have a nice day.

            I’m trying to think of a response that doesn’t carry the same condescending tone as yours, but it is quite difficult. Apparently, it is impossible to have a differing opinion on a controversy, which is run by opinion, in your world.

            My age is irrelevant. My feelings are irrelevant. My experience is irrelevant. The same can be said for you. I don’t care what age you are. I don’t care how you feel. I don’t care what sex you are, what gender, what race, what creed. I was going to respect you for sticking up for what you feel, however your condescending and scornful manner has totally undermined your efforts, regardless of who you are.

            I know what minstrelsy is, and what black face is. The artist has admitted to using black face to deride the black face, because he is fascinated by how black’s faces are viewed, and how that view changes. He does it not out of racism, but out of interest. Will you deny him that, as well?

            You need not reply. It is obvious that you care not what others think, or why, so I won’t bother explaining my position any more. I have no further interest in reading you insult me for very little reason, and offer no pertinent base. You are not being paid to teach me a course in social sciences, so obviously that gives you the right to half-assedly call me out and call me an ignorant child, without having the patience to explain properly why I am wrong, only to redirect me to Wikipedia articles on old racist practices that are barely relevant in today’s world.

            I stand by what I have said and make no apologies. View me how you wish. Have a good one.

              Assuming you can read Swedish. He says he uses a insulting and racist ”picture” of black people. However he says you must put it into context. Sure it’s made to raise awareness, but doesn’t change the fact that it’s racist. I’ll take his word over yours.

              Me I don’t care so much, I don’t think the minister should leave her post (it was stupid to be part of it). But as you can see the FGM issue it pretty much ignored so I think this was a bad idea.

      Are you really so incapable of understanding as you seem to be? The very notion of building a cake in the form of a human being, ANY human being, and designing it so that when you cut it open it looks red and bloody like human flesh, is outrageous. Add in the howling racism clearly visible in the design, and you have a party of which Heinrich Himmler could have been proud. Be ashamed of yourself, and for Sweden.

      • http://profile.yahoo.com/75BZJ3NZREM2TSVEZM6VOTLQMQ Melanie

         No, I am not incapable of understanding. I understand fully what the artist is trying to do. Apparently you are the one who is incapable of understanding. All the things you described are EXACTLY what the artist is trying to do. He PURPOSEFULLY made the cake brutal and disturbing, because the subject, female genital mutilation, is a brutal and disturbing one. You are completely ignoring Mr. Linde’s point on this piece.

        As for the racist design, that is debatable. Where this is happening is in second- and third-world areas of Africa. While the blackface is completely at the artist’s discretion, everything else doesn’t ring of racism to me. Then again, I am not going to get more worked up about this than I would if it were a cake depicting a while woman in a racist way. If that were the case, these images would be posted up all over, laughing about it. Don’t tell me to be outraged over this ”howling racism” when the same vehemence in which all of these people scream about against this cake would not be displayed if the subject were a white person.

      Dear Melanie,

      I will be polite in response. This is not in any way awareness. Did you see the video that went viral about children in Mexico, thats awareness and not slicing a cake that has been built after a black woman and been sliced and everyone  is laughing does not sound like awareness. Seems everyone there were having fun.

      These issues are real life issues that pertains to people irrespective of their color or origin. These are issues people have dedicated their lives to fight for, to see it come to an end and its so humiliating to see people making a joke out of it. We are not at a circus. We are in reality

      • http://profile.yahoo.com/75BZJ3NZREM2TSVEZM6VOTLQMQ Melanie

        Perhaps awareness is not the correct term, thank you. It has the *potential* for awareness, if people would look past the petty squabbles about the color of one’s skin. What the artist was trying to do was not to make a joke out of it, but demand that people look at something in a light that they are not used to. I use ”witty and clever” not meaning that I think it is funny, but that I think it is unique and makes people see something they don’t want to see.

        Not every person is going to interpret this the same. I, personally, find it a very powerful and moving way of showing people who cannot comprehend the pain and torture the real deal causes. It made me seriously think about it in a way that photo campaigns and ”moving” documentaries could not. I am an American who will never come into contact with these atrocities, and am now more aware of how terrible it is, thanks to this cake. I can guarantee you that I am in the minority, as most of the people here, and most of the people around the globe, are going to jump on the race bandwagon and completely destroy anything this may have made.

        I mean no offense to anyone, and do think that the delivery was somewhat tasteless, but I cannot argue with what the artist was trying to accomplish without totally ruining the World Day celebrations.

          If you think about it, anyone who attacks me verbally (or physically for that matter) is not attacking me, but attacking their own perception of me. I can make that distinction and feel confident in saying that I´m not ignorant about what´s going on in society and don´t need a wake-up call. I left any personal issues I might of had behind me about 30 years ago. Honestly. I´ll let you have your perception and don´t attack it, rather I am a bit amazed that you see things that way.

             I am a white immigrant to Sweden from Canada. I live in a very poor area in the biggest town in mellansverige (dont like being specific). 3 months ago I was caught outside my trapphus by an indian immigrant and 2 arabic speakers who i dont know where theyre from (knew the other personally thus know hes from india and he knew i am canadian). I was strangled to unconsciousness and the last thing I heard while being kicked in the spine was ”white american bitch nobody wants to hear your english here” but naurally, in Swedish. My Swedish is horrid so I wont insult you by trying to spell it right. This is the worst example of bullying I face daily in an area where my husband and I are one of TWO white households among about 50 apartments in only our gård and we are too poor to move away. I understand  why arabic speakers hear english and feel hate, but to deny my experiences and say these things dont happen is making me feel even worse about it. These things happen. I am taunted for using english every single day by arabic speakers here. I have had shit thrown at me, been spat upon and been violently attacked twice. IT HAPPENS. No matter how much you wouldnt do it, it happens, to people like me, and to my husband who has been attacked for being a swede who married an english speaker and DARES to speak english with her. Nothing you say will ever stop arabs from attacking me in my own gård. And thats how things REALLY are becoming in many places. I understand that reverse racism is a fake concept, but arabs attack whites in sweden a lot. And you need to face it if you want to say you have looked at this from all sides. Worst part: I get attacked for shit MY country did NOT  do. Just because I sound like I am from the US. SICKENING.

    ”Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about
    like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. Resist him, steadfast
    in the faith, knowing that the same sufferings are experienced by your brotherhood in the world.” In essence, His advice is, ”Be self-controlled,
    be alert, and resist him!” Peter’s first term, ”be sober,” urges us not
    to let fear of him fluster us to the point that we cannot think
    clearly. The second term, ”be vigilant,” charges us to be fully awake,
    to set ourselves in a state of watchfulness and readiness. The third
    term, ”resist him,” is a command not to turn and run but to stand firm.Read more: http://www.bibletools.org/index.cfm/fuseaction/Topical.show/RTD/cgg/ID/3983/Satans-Power.htm#ixzz1sMSWo7Sr

    Actually, the most victims of FGM are not even black African women, but rather Arab girls. Basically, it’s done in backwards Muslim countries, and if the Swedish government truly felt compassion and outrage for these crimes against Muslim women, then they would talk openly about the Muslim men and Muslim ”clerics” who call for and perform these barbaric acts.

Anders Breivik are nothing but a ultra-zionist child-killer. There’s pretty much no one in Scandinavia who defends him. Not even the ones you would call ”fascists”. The support after this terrible attack came from Israeli people who commented on a Israeli news site and cheered him. That says alot.

      And taking this crap from a person who’s ancestors almost exterminated the native americans and occupies their country is just offensive, also from a supporter of a regime that kills innocent people daily and support the worlds largest terrorist organisation in the occupied land of the palestines.

I know that racism exists worldwide, and both of you are incorrect to place blame on each other. All groups partake in the brutality we too often see among human-kind. In addition, just because a nation’s government does questionable things does not mean all of the nation agree with what they are doing or support it.

Apparently she does not have what it takes to stay in office as Minister of Culture any longer, her judgment and reason is too weak and confused for it. She should herself have understood immediately that, in view of her political position was entirely inappropriate to participate in this racist spectacle. The Swedish Minister of Culture has now only two possible things to do: 1. to offer all blacks of the world a sincere and public apology and 2. to immediately resign from her post as Minister of Culture. Anything else is simply not possible.

       Well you could say the same for ”extraordinary renditions” with people pulled off the street, carted off to secret prisons and torture for years without trial.  They become a nonperson since no one ever reads about in the idiot media.  Many of these are never reported by the idiot media, So I guess it is like it never happened, right?  So why object when it’s like it never happened?  because being ”like it never happened” is not at all the same as it never happened.

    I wish people would stop saying its cool because the artist was ”a black man” when most of the world couldn’t tell you what they mean by that without sounding racist.

    So because he’s black means he got together with all the black people in the world and discussed this scene with them and they gave them the thumbs up. 

    that just as bad as saying ”she’s racist because she’s white” lets stop looking at race and look at the people. regardless of what race you were slicing out of the vagina of a woman and feeding it to said depiction of that woman then thats just sick regardless of the race gender or motive of the person doing the slicing. It was a foolish and tasteless act and the Minister should let this teach her a lesson about satire in her position. 

    its NOT ”awareness” its ”exploitation” the fact that she didn’t realize this is irrelevant its already out there stoking the flames of racist and ignorance.

       Political theater, it serves one purpose and only one purpose; as

      one woman will be saved by this act of self-serving perfidy? Pah!

      Notable themes of failed political theater.  

      Tibet. Many a hippy has drummed and chanted and drank of the sacred
      water yet China still dominates and controls the people and culture of
      Tibet. Thirty years of  failed leftist agitprop. But by all means, throw a
      party, raise money for fraudulent charity organizations and increase
      awareness.

      Awareness, the very utterance of that vile word assuages your own guilt.

      Awareness, bastion of both the deceiver and the willingly deceived.

    You made a cake of a SAMBO depicting a what looks like a pregnant woman and ate it while it screamed in pain I wouldnt have the stomach to do that you have to be a sick person to think this was funny or progressive at all.

    There’s no back story that will justify this, and just because the artist ”was black” means nothing if hes ignorant enough to even entertain an idea like this.

    IF the Swedish cultural elite thinks this is so damn funny then I see that Sweden isnt so far from bringing back Minstrel shows either.

    • Anthony Fatato

      The Swedish cultural elite and this artist are raising money and awareness for women in need. I think it might mean something that he is a black man who’s stated goal is to draw attention to these very serious issues. 

      • http://profile.yahoo.com/Y2MPVF2WYLIFTZGDL6USER7PHA Terrance

        That may be true and considering the Swedish governments sympathetic view towards the African and African diaspora community I can say with dented confidence that I believe the Swedish Minister had her ”intentions” in the right place

        that being said if I wanted to raise money for the poor so I dressed up as a Hobo and danced around acting like a buffoon with a bucket around my neck that says” I needs money” that would probably get a lot of attention as well. What it would also do is demean and chastise the very people I attempt to help there is a very thin line between satire and offense and they crossed it when they decided to make the cake a sambo

        Whatever happened to using actual evidence that turns peoples stomachs to depict the reality of the situation other than making light of it and making it a joke. 

        Your cause means nothing if your actions pander to misunderstanding, racial insensitivity, and ignorance. 

        The reason no one has a problem with this is simply because most people have no idea how hateful and demeaning minstrel shows were it just so happens because this happened to a specific race of people that race of people just tends to care more about the subject and pays closer attention to it and gathers information on it. I’m not saying non-Africans just don’t care but its more likely that Africans and African-Diaspora will. 

      • juoz zas

         well it tells a lot about the creativity of this ‘artist’, ditto concern of this supposed ‘elite’. were pictures of real women too much to bear ?nothing to laugh about there? and why is topic like FGM only deserves giggles from some comatose ‘elite’? what kind of ‘awareness’ is this? bwohahahaha look! they have their pundada chopped off! how gross! champagne! self-bashing ‘artists’ catering to bigoted stereotypes  of patronising ignorant ‘elites’, what a chuckle! it’s like pretending to be drunk in alcoholics anonymous, beyond stupid.

  • juoz zas

    so who was the target audience of this awareness campaign? those immigrants in sweden? they must relate so much to a golliwog-cake and then watch its pundada cut off and fed to a mouth?! look at those liberals, they see us as fat black passive pundada-eating victims!  they should have made pundada look like watermelon for a full effect. and if it’s not the immigrants but the most liberal swedes that are targeted, why is the cake black? is it a scare story? fat black big mouthed cake having its pundada carved out, exotique! i suggest immigrant artists take inspiration from swedents vast porn archive to come up with some thought provoking blonde pastry.

  • http://profile.yahoo.com/Y2MPVF2WYLIFTZGDL6USER7PHA Terrance

    This is bullshit IF you care about your cause at all then you will not have it defiled and laughed as if it is a joke this is a very serious matter that apparently a lot of insensitive people find either hilarious or harmless.

    So if I made a cake of a Jewish person and slid it into a oven to bake to start a party while everyone laughed and cheered to raise awareness of the still existent anti-Semitic views then thats ok, right?

    or what if I made a cake shaped like Hiroshima and blew it up to raise awareness of the still lingering effects caused by the atomic bomb dropped on Japan thats ok, because im doing it for a ”POSITIVE” reason.

    Bottom line is you dont take strides forward by taking steps back thats ridiculous.

    but when minstral shows were prominent and performed all over the world no one had a problem with it and thought it was so hilarious shows how far we’ve progressed as a global society. racism isn’t gone its just discreet SOMETIMES!

      The man who made this art piece is from the culture it depicts and it is only meant to bring needed attention to the subject of the abuse of African women.

In fact I believe those people are there raising money and awareness for their fellow women in need. 

    • Kelly Nelson

       No it’s not, it’s the exact opposite because it’s heightening awareness of black women who are being mutilated – right now, today.  All Muslim women are circumcised at birth – did you know that?!!!  Are you for that?  According to your post you are.  The minister obviously is not. It’s rather well thought out to be perfectly honest.  It’s people who write in all caps offend me, like we can’t read lower case.

    Dear Gravskopen: The subject is female circumcision. They baked a cake and made some theatre about the cause to raise awareness. It worked. You are slightly more aware.

    To be doing the same thing themselves would mean they were mutilating African woman. Which they weren’t. They were eating a cake and raising awareness and most likely raising money to help… probably from private citizens, not taxes.

    A necessary byproduct of the militant feminism that permeates Sweden is the inevitable conflict between Islam, represented by Somali immigrants, and the feminist establishment.  Somalis will have to give up their unique cultural practice of female circumcision if they wish to coexist with the feminist ruling caste.

    • Anonym

      The cake does not look like a Somali female or any other real African females. It is modeled after a black sambo cartoon, which were drawn with racist intent. Some people say it was created by a black artist? It was created by an artist inspired by racist influences. 

      • http://www.saloforum.com/ Roland

        Nice try.  Is female circumcision a cultural trait of peoples stereotyped by the ”black sambo” cartoon?  No.  And, in any case, the cake is not only modeled that way.  It also resembles the mother goddess fertility icon.  Is it also typing an ancient pagan symbol?

    Everyone who is intelligent enough to learn more would not judge what is going on based solely on an article written from a single individuals’ point of view. I am in no way saying this is acceptable and I agree there are other ways of sending the message but it did its’ job of making those who did not understand what was going on at first to research and find out the purpose of the stunt. Also artist tend to be controversial in their work and like to push the boundaries of the social norm therefore the stunt within itself is a norm among the art world. This raised eyebrows and brought up emotion and responses. Would an article about how the Swedish elite having a conference about genital mutilation among women evoke a response from you as such this article did? Again not acceptable but understandable.

        He is not black, he is mixed race. And since when does the skin color of the artist matter? It’s as if anything goes as soon as you are not entirely white.

        Africa is a continent plagued by racial and ethnical conflicts. Black is not an ethnicity, it’s a merely a skin color. Just because you happen to have darker skin than ethnic Europeans you can’t incite racism toward other African ethnic groups.

        • Anonym

          Its a race, not a skin color. 

        • Nicadori

          Well, isn’t that the case? If you’re not white or if you’re a minority of some other sort you get away with almost anything. Ofcourse it matters since this witch hunt only exists because a white ”anti-white” women ate the cake and smiled. This only proofs that the ”anti-white” organisations will throw anyone to the wolfs, no matter what you have done for the ”cause”.

          Race or no race, i don’t care. We are different and it’s just not the skin colour. The explanation why Africans are black is because ”it’s so hot and sunny down there” from anyone who claims there’s no differences except the colour of our skins but i have never heard any explanation why for example Japanese people have such a distinct look.

    This article in the Guardian explains what this is about.  Maybe not the best way to get the message out, but this ”stunt” was an art piece to raise awareness about and condemn female circumcision.  Fuck people, you have the whole internet at your finger tips, use it – it will make you (seem) smarter.

      Derp derp derp, clitoredectomies are happening in Muslim, Christian and animist communities in Africa, and I’m guessing when you say ”they should used a muslim woman cake” you meant an Arab woman cake, since it’s pretty hard to guess the religious affiliation of a cake. But female genital mutilation is much more common among blacks in East Africa than among Arabs. 

      This whole thing is appalling, but ultimately if you were trying to promote some sort of idea of Americans as being smarter than Swedes you failed miserably with your ignorant blather. 

      • Fromunda Cheese

        Don’t think Americans are smarter than Swedes. Nothing I wrote said so.  Our government blows as bad as any.  However, our politicians would be run out of town for this.  You guys act like it’s a minor thing.  That belies your real feelings and views.  If she is allowed to stay ‘cultural minister’ you will have shown that a racism is real and condoned in Sweden.

       Ah, yet another dumb Yank who doesn’t realise how many black people there are in Sweden/Scandinavia. I mean, Scandinavians are famous for being white with blonde hair and blue eyes, so it’s impossible for there to be ethnic diversity there, right? LOL. You morons are hilarious.

      • Fromunda Cheese

        You have diversity, just a mental perspective that they are inferior.  The 50 remark was hyperbole.  If you did this in America, the Black Panthers would be visiting you soon.  

        • http://profile.yahoo.com/FO3PLJEU3RBRKQZQZH4MYAFZFM Torvar

           The difference in America is that people there are more aware of what could be viewed as being racist, and they’re far more skilled at covering up racist tendencies that could result in an embarrassing faux pas of this magnitude- even the most dedicated Teabagger would know better than to pull a stunt like this one- well, on second thought maybe not….still, most people in Scandinavian countries probably have a general lack of exposure to blacks, and the result of that can be shocking, just as this incident has turned out to be.

          whatever- Germany has its fascists, many of whom are active in politics, business, and law enforcement (do we really wonder why that country still has problems with Nazis?)- and Scandinavia has its own personal Anders Breivik. I hope most Swedes are hip enough to be offended by this.

          I think it’s hard for people who have not been exposed to a racially conscious society to grasp the significance of skin color and race, which is skin color’s related social construction.  One of my best friends is  from Sweden, and when he was in the US for a few months we had many conversations about race and racism. He often expressed how he didn’t understand what the big deal was, until he learned more about my country’s history of racism. So, from the conversations I had with my friend, I don’t think that @LiberalenDieter:disqus is intending to be callous.

It is quite plain and simply unbelievably racist and just another weekly example of a bunch of very ignorant and overly privileged white people standing around, laughing and having a good time at the expense of people of Afrcian descent and anyone else who feels insulted by this.

          The fuck? Blacks constitute a very large and unproportional amount of the interracial crimes against whites and other races in the US (official US stats), whites get racially attacke, raped and murdered all the time without big time national coverage. But ofcourse that’s just hillbilly redneck conspiracy!

          The only one encouraging racial hatred is you and your supremacist ilk, i for one have not supported this ”cake ordeal”, i find it disgusting, especially their hypocrisy. But you on the other hand makes comments about ”white privilege” like the government in both the US and Sweden doesn’t ethnically discriminate with example affermative action laws for example against whites and swedes in their native lands! What right do you have to talk about injustice when today whites are being treated worse and worse NO matter what your trusted state propaganda says otherwise, and you gladly ignore it since it isn’t your race being threatened and thinking outside the status quo is evil.

          I don’t expect any reasonable answer from a black supremacist. So i think il just use my white privilege and try not to get ethnically spited when i step out my door in the area where ive grown up that is filled up by foreigners, and then il take the white privilege airlenes to bahamas to exploit some natives and corrupt their cultures with whiteness.

              These are just two examples, and they’re just as valid as what i said, ”unproportional amount of the interracial crimes”, keep in mind i wrote the percent of whites being victims of interracial crime.

    Amazing the mindset of many of those who post. I believe in a GOD that is ALL knowing and sees, hears and reads it ALL. Don’t miss your blessing trying to be ”cute” on this site. Think about the fact that Africans are people and deserve the respect and humanity that all living people seek. This is offensive in every way no matter the reach. The artist who created this image actually does use the ”N” word. The hat that the image wears isn’t added, but many of us know the message being conveyed. Let’s come in love and peace and stop trying to separate the world. I am putting this in GOD’s hands. Watch GOD work….  @blsuccess

      Your god allowed slavery to proceed, allowed every genocide we know, including the Flood, the worst of them all. Yes, all people deserve respect. Yes, this is offensive. Your god, who doesn’t give a damn about genocide, doesn’t care. We care. International shaming can (possibly) do something about this nauseating situation. The god that ordered his people to murder every living thing in so many cities, ordered the stoning of so many people, and has allowed every genocide we know of in the name of ”free will”? He doesn’t enter this equation. If he did, I assure you he’d be demanding blood sacrifice.

          It’s important to point out the biggest source of racism, which IS
          against swedes and other whites. Not the ”institutionalized racism” beliefs purported by massmedia outlets. All these professional ”anti-racists” think they can get away with any action due to their alignment, and they shoulden’t.

          Examples of demonization of swedes: the largest media outlets have a
          habit of pixelating and censoring criminals if they’re of
          non-swedish/white origin. There’s constantly articles and
          TV programs with high up politicans amongst others complaining about how their
          political party is to white, or how whites shoulden’t represent the
          ”modern sweden”. Or how about the prime minister of sweden himself
          calling everything swedish barbaric. Media totally whitewash
          racially/ethnically motivated attacks towards swedes, and sometimes even
          going as far as trying to portray foreign criminals, rapists, murderers
          and alot of other nice people as ”victims of racism”. There’s plenty of
          examples.

          I wont hide that i hate her guts politically, so what? You felt the need
          to write about the unrelated topic of ”misogyny” in politics, after all

                Till skillnad från dig anser jag inte att ett mångkulturellt samhälle är ett ”problem”, utan snarare att det berikar. Mitt perspektiv har jag förmodligen från att har gått i en skola med över 60 nationaliteter där vi kunde respektera mångfalden och inser varandras lika värde.
                Att använda Tibet och Kina som metafor för det som händer i Sverige är i mitt tycke långsökt. Hur många människor finns det i Kina i förhållande till Tibet? Invandringen i Sverige handlar inte om en ockupation som är fallet Kina/Tibet, men jag fattar vad du menar. Jag tolkar dina inlägg so om du vill bevara det svenska till varje pris (absolut inget fel i det!) och ser invandringen som ett hot mot det. Där tycker vi olika. (Om invandringen som hot mot det svenska).
                Så länge du håller dig till ett politisk forum och sprider din information den vägen och följer lagen så tycker jag att du kan få ha vilken åsikt du vill. Vi lever trots allt i ett demokratiskt samhälle. Cheers!

    • Anonym

      Yes, it is sensationalist but it is also highly contextual which might get ”lost in translation” for any foreign reader, or even for swedes who usually do not visit this site. This sensationalism is part of a bigger ”eye for an eye”-agenda. The people who arrange this exhibit, and who cuts the cake, are usually the ones who calls everything and anything racist and tries to silent free speech. These people have labelled various icecream, small cookies and candies ”racist” the last few years. So when the people who runs this site sees an opportunity to strike and turn the tables around, the take it. To get them back with their own methods.

      That is how it seems to me, anyway. And if it is like that, i am not really against. Sure, it is sensationalist and kind of ”low” but it is the only way for us to strike back. If WE no longer are allowed to eat the ”Nogger” icecream because it sounds similar to something racist, these people shall damn well not get away with cannibalism on an innocent stereotype-cake.

    I don’t think this is as bad as some make it out to be. Sure, it’s a bit tasteless, but on the other hand it does work somewhat as a representation of our perspective on African and Middle Eastern problems such as sexual mutilation.

        Actually, when Nelson Mandela and other ANC higher ups have sung ”kill the Boer(whites)” songs, no whites but a minority ”raise hell”. Neither does any of the larger media report about the ongoing genocide against Boer farmers in south africa, how about you realize whites can and are being very much victimized in this day and age for their racial heritage.

          The Dutch invaded South Africa, colonized the people, imported slaves and took over the land. The Native Africans HAVE EVERY RIGHT to protest against the Afrikaaners that took away their land that isn’t theirs. This is why there is NO SUCH THING as racism against white colonists.

          • Anonym

            When the dutch arrived the place was hardly populated, and it’s the English who later brought slavery to SA. And by protest you mean to murder and encourage killing of whites, yes, excellent idea, chap! You a psycho or what? Ofcourse there’s racism against whites, you’re just excusing hate with that disgusting apologetism, supremacists such as you are sickening..

            • Anonym

              Yeah Infinitvm, but the dutch took the land from black people regardless of few blacks there were.

              You seem to be advocating the protection of that which is swedish. Fine. By the same token, is it ok for another country to colonize another region like the boers did in SA? Am I understanding you correctly? You need consistency in your reasoning, me lad….;-)

              • Anonym

                If it was hardly populated how did they take the land? You’re interpreting me wrongly, i simple said that the Dutch did not really colonize SA in the normal sense. Since they diden’t take slaves and did not take land already used by the bushmen there as far as i know of.

                And i would gladly support the return of Boers from where native Africans have ruled first.

                • Anonym

                  Whew! Well, at least you aren´t totally contradicting yourself on the SA issue. In your opinion, how many people must inhabit a territory for it to be deemed as being ”ruled” by the ethnic population?

                  I mean, the whole issue of colonialization is ludicrous! Australia, North America, Africa…. Do you see why white people get a bum rap from people of color? Not that white people nowadays are responsible for history. Unfortunately it seems that people of color still feel marginalized….. I for one can understand that sentiment however ”wrong” it may be in the bigger picture. Can you understand the greatness of Nelson Mandela when he, after years in prison, upon his release doesn´t seek vengence, but is willing to wipe the slate clean and start anew?

                • Anonym

                  I don’t know what the stats were but if the area were to be completely uninhabited which Johannesburg was founded on i believe, that’s hard to call colonization.

                  Marginalized feelings are inferred by batshit crazy white patriarchy advocates, which are in effect tearing former stable societies appart. After all, who complains about the arabic imperialization and replacement of Berbers in north Africa for example, or for that matter argue for them to disassemble their societies based on such past events. Well as stated in another comment by me Nelson seems pretty passive to the violence and hate from the ANC towards Boers and whites in SA. But sure maybe’s he’s a nice guy, though why should he feel upset, blacks rule the country SA now and they have all the comforts that whites brought with them, a pretty sweet deal for them id say.

                • Anonym

                  Wow, ”Blacks rule the country now and they have all the comforts the white people brought with them” Ever visited a township in SA? Are you really trying to say that things in SA changed overnight? Blacks may not have to fear a racist white police force and they now have universal sufferage, but for the greater percentage of blacks in SA, their plight has not changed much. There is still crippling poverty. Nor can you claim that whites in SA have it ”worse off”. Granted they can´t treat blacks however they want anymore.

                  Mandela is no longer politically active, and I for one think it´s ok for him to retire in dignity and not get caught up in the natural aftermath of an oppressed people who have gained their freedom. I´m not saying that it is now right for blacks to attempt to marginalize whites, but I can understand the urge, as much as I am starting to ”understand” that swedish people  for some strange reason feel marginalized in their own country. I don´t get it, but I´m starting to understand that that really is how some of you feel. It´s sad that it has come to this. From where I stand, you guys are holding all the trumps.

                • Anonym

                  And this poverty is due to what, you mean? SA’s infrastructure, state, economy and technologic advancement diden’t come a godsend but by a long process of which the inventions of whites and of other accomplished people’s were brought to the southern tip of Africa. Why is it not the blacks themselves who don’t seem to be capable of upholding a advanced civilization as a collective?

                  Blacks do not have laws against their race whites, like in SA and the rest of the western world. In SA the top politicans sing of killing Boers/whites (so has Mandela) whilst there are many murdered brutally, racial charged murders no less, often. So it’s impossible to say that blacks are being in nay way institutionally discriminated against, whites are certainly, however!

                  And i actually understand them to some degree, even though the current black bantu population in SA has displaced the native bushmen to. They feel the need to retaliate, for a stupid reason since whites advanced SA hell of alot after all. But the thing is it’s a global problem of white’s being hated. not only south Africa. It’s good that you have a little more understanding of how swede’s might feel, and sure most of swedes and whites in general don’t think of it due to media and don’t realize the gravity of it. But rest assured, when there’s laws discriminating against the ethnic natives in their own homeland for thousands of years it sure as hell is discrimination and the only thing keeping people from reacting is the masochistic societal structure permeating the west!

                • Anonym

                  You have one way of looking at the cause of the poverty of blacks in SA. Another way of looking at it is being the cause of over 200 years of oppression of white people or do you dismiss this claim as fiction?

                  I challange you to show me evidence that Mandela, after he came out of prison and became president of his country singing songs of killing white people. To suggest this is just not true! He has done his best to unify the country. The ANC is another matter, I must admitt. I will also concede that Mandela was militant prior to going to jail in the 60´s.

                • Anonym

                  Certainly blacks have been opressed, i haven’t ever denied that. But that’s far from the reality of today, and if one looks at poverty from another way do you perhaps mean that some sort of evil whitey system is opressing blacks in the quiet? Certainly blacks have alot of opportunities in SA (but not only there) for example when they’re prioritized for jobs due to their race (affermative action sort of law), other then that the african continent sits on vast natural resources and plenty of opportunities for her people’s, if they would utilize it. I don’t get what other explanation is viable when all throughout history there hasen’t been much of non-imported civilization in sub-saharan Africa, history repeating itself is not to uncommon.

                  Im glad you asked for a source. This video, Mandela in person, with communist supporters are together singing of killing whites, telling when the establishment seems very willing to look past the killing and hate of whites. (Also note, the ”white” guy singing next to him is a jewish communist, bit of the ol’ unite and smash whitey going on there)

             If you knew the least bit of African history, you would know that the Dutch were in the Cape 100 years and more before the Zulu (the backbone of the ANC) ever moved South into what is now South Africa.  They were equally invaders in the area and ran into each other in the 19th century as the Afrikaaners moved North and the Zulu South.  The Zulu were simply less successful imperialists than the British and the Boers.

    Headline misprint. Should say ”Shocking photos show [...]”  - not ”shows”.

    • http://madaboutmahound.blogspot.com/ Gary Rumain

      Actually, it should read ”Shocking photo shows ..” as there’s only one photo of her.

    Another name for Sweden is Absurdistan.  This nation needs help, badly.

    I knew the left was extreme negrophilians… But I never know how far these freaks would take it.. This is one of the most disgusting things I’ve ever seen.. A true example of the twisted and deformed psyches of the left.

    The left : Hate freedom of expression, and loves feasting on pregnant cake negroes.

      Linda: Liljeroth is a member of MODERATERNA, the Swedish conservative party, not ‘the left’. She’s pretty much the opposite of ‘the left’ in all possible ways. It is currently the conservatives who are in majority in the Swedish government.

      Really, do you not know this?

      • http://detopaverkadesinnet.blogspot.com/ MetalHeadViking

        The ”Moderaterna” are however not one bit conservative. They are more of a social-liberal party. 

        So Adelsohn is pretty much left-wing in that she is another cultural-marxist. 

        It seems you have read way to meny laim stream media articles, so you are under the impression that the current government would in some stange way actually be conservative, when it actually is the opposite.

          Great, another loon going on about ‘cultural Marxists’. And people say Anders Breivik is a lone nutcase; clearly he takes his cues from the same cultural waste you are happy to spread.

            WTF are you talking about?! 

            Cultural-Marxism was explained for several years by meny documentaries. I recommend G. Edward Griffin, Ron Paul, Pat Buchanan and a number of other scolers who have explained what The Frankfurt school and the Fabian Society have done to the west. 

            I guess you went to public school.

        There exists no ”conservative ” party in Sweden. I am chocked you did not know this.

        Alittle lesson in Swedish politics. All Swedish parties are either left or extreme left.

        Perhaps a little quote from the the leader of Swedens ”conservative” party is in order? : ”Everything originally Swedish is barbaric, all development has come from the outside.”

        An utter racist comment that displays a hatred and dislike not only for Swedens culture and its people but for all their achivements and this would be your ”conservative” party?

    I´ve seen quite a lot of horrible pictures, but this – where a Swedish minister is taking part is really awful. Shame on you Mrs Liljeroth and shame on the brainless organizers of this disgusting event.

    Ingen journalist vågar ta upp Moderaterna och Apartheid, kom igen Aftonbladet och Expressen.

    This is truly chocking! I am totally blown away by this disgusting example of racism against black people. This is a pure example of double standards. The Swedish Minister of Culture Lena Adelsohn Liljeroth must now of course immediately to issue a public apology to all blacks, it’s absolutely necessary. That she even has the audacity to call herself the anti-racist is totally amazing. It is regrettable that by organizing this so-called ”party” probably has damaged relations seriously to Sweden’s all African immigrants, I understand very well if they feel deeply offended by this racist abuse.

        Hey if it’s called neger cake or not it’s just a cake it does not represent Africans or negros. I am about to ask one of my Sewdish friend to make a cake just like that one but a male one with a little man hood you know since………..

    • Anonym

      The purpose with the cake was to highlight victims of FGM, and that is à worser problem Tham black skin.

    En styckad neger till lunch. Stockholm förnekar sig inte. :-)
