Idi Amin

Some people made a movie about Idi Amin, a nigger who ran a country and killed everybody, and they said he was "charming." They said the same things about the African Nigger Nero that the press now says about the American Nigger Nero.
"Idi Amin was monster, both cruel and charming." Charm seems to be a special, omnipresent attribute of psycho sociopaths, according to my many books on the pathology of evil. You'll notice there's nothing charming about this blog. So you're safe here. You'll also notice in the picture that the African Nigger Nero has white people carrying him around. Just like our own American Nigger Nero has white people chasing after him, all happy and giddy. They just haven't hoisted him up onto the Nigger Tribal Carry-chair yet. Probly the New Nigger just ain't had it occur to him yet. But it will.

What follows is some sort of gay blather about Idi Amin. who I believe was given asylum by Saudi Arabia when he was kicked out. Obama probly has pictures of him in the Oval Office by now, instead of Washington.

They set off making a movie about a monster and ended up with one about a man, showing both the human and the murderous sides of Uganda's Idi Amin, and the hair trigger that could set off a shift between the two.

Amin grabbed power in Uganda in 1971, expelled its Asian business class, destroyed its economy and killed some 300,000 people to become the classic symbol of an African dictator.

But The Last King of Scotland, which premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival, shows Amin to be a far more complex character, capable of partying and of affection, as well as of violence and brutality.

"I came away with a different understanding of him," said star Forest Whitaker, already tipped for an Oscar for his role as Amin, where he alternates rants, cruelty and paranoia with affection for his entourage, and especially for the fictional Scottish doctor he befriends.

"All I had before was this image of a dictator who was killing all these people, and it's true," Whitaker said in an interview. "All these people did die during his reign. But afterward, after doing all the research, I started to see something of the other things."

Director Kevin Macdonald, speaking about the movie that is his first non-documentary film, put it more bluntly.

"Amin was the most famous African in history until Nelson Mandela got out of prison - literally there was no-one who was as well known in the West as him - and I think that is because people always found him compelling," he said.

"There was quite a seductive element to him that made him more dangerous and more terrifying in the end, and more of a threat.

He added: "I think he was a monster, but I think he was a complex monster, and to see him as complex makes not only for more interesting drama... He's not just straightforward - someone who killed a great deal of people. There was a charm."

Macdonald and his team spent some six months working on the movie in Uganda, helped by letters of support from the president and from government officials, and using props like cars and furniture that Amin himself had used.

Almost to their surprise, they found a groundswell of support for the one-time dictator, who fled to Libya in 1979 and died in exile in Saudi Arabia in 2003.

"A lot of the things he tried to do were very popular," said Macdonald, highlighting even the expulsion of the Asian business leaders as something that had resonated with Ugandans who became shopkeepers and business owners for the first time.


Ok, that's the end of that. I'm back. You may have noticed in the article that the publication had some laudatory remarks to say about the serial killer that Manson was merely a smallfry version of, and the guy that wrecked the country in record time.
But the niggers loved the guy. Them niggers, they'll go down with the nigger boat rather than swim to the white rescue vehicle. I guess they think they're pissin' off the white people by doing this. Which would be a good example of what I have always called Nigger Logic. Sometime I'll do a long article on Nigger Logic. Nigger Logic is pretty interesting stuff. It's like the carefully thought-out reasoning of a talking crow. It's amazing.
