Zangi

Remember, America is the ONLY and the MOST racist country in the world. Just ask the snowflakes at University of Missouri. Slavery didn't exist until Americans invented it. Only negroes have ever been slaves, and negroes were always considered full, equal citizens of the world by every other culture, until Americans enslaved them, and taught the rest of the world to consider them inferior.  Fact.

Oh Wait...

[Sept 2014]  Iranian President Hassan Rouhani's attempt to blame western states for the rise of radical Islam in his speech to the UN General Assembly nearly backfired awkwardly when he used a racist Farsi expression - but was saved by a quick-thinking translator.

During the speech on Friday, Rouhani claimed that "certain Intelligence agencies have put the blade in the hand of the drunken Zangi" - a phrase referring to irresponsible and dangerous jihadi groups, which was translated simply as "madmen" by the translator.


But according to Iranian opposition blog azarmehr, the word "Zangi" is actually a derogatory term for black slaves from Zanzibar in Farsi.

His use of the term was apparently based on a line from a poem by ancient Persian Sufi poet Jalal al-Din Muhammad Balkhi: "It is better to put a sword in the hand of an intoxicated negro than 'that knowledge' should fall to a worthless fool."
