yea like when he said that they were subhuman and should be controlled/otherwise treated as animals

Some of Gandhi's early South African articles are controversial. On 7 March 1908, Gandhi wrote in the Indian Opinion of his time in a South African prison: "Kaffirs are as a rule uncivilized - the convicts even more so. They are troublesome, very dirty and live almost like animals."[96] Writing on the subject of immigration in 1903, Gandhi commented: "We believe as much in the purity of race as we think they do... We believe also that the white race in South Africa should be the predominating race."[97] During his time in South Africa, Gandhi protested repeatedly about the social classification of blacks with Indians, who he described as "undoubtedly infinitely superior to the Kaffirs".[98] It is worth noting that during Gandhi's time, the term Kaffir had a different connotation than its present-day usage. Remarks such as these have led some to accuse Gandhi of racism.[99]

what is the meaning of this post i am trying to decipher it
kaffa = ethiopian
kaffir = south african people?

edit: I can't tell if it was a post for me to read and say "oh hey maybe gandhi wasnt racist" or for inri to read and say "oh hey maybe gandhi was racist" or a completely neutral post that just contains a joke that our discussion set up for you.

Such as rip open the packages of underwear, try them on, then stuff them back on the shelf.

It's even worse in Wal-Mart at night.  What kind of parents take their kids to the store with them at one in the morning?
