Egypt's revolution has just begun - Opinion - Al Jazeera English
Actually, what we have is a reproduction of the policies adopted by colonialism, in dealing with internal issues. At one point draws a group identity, then the other and, finally, stands against each other. It was not so in the colonization of Africa? First rested a tribe, then another, and in the end, we had a Rwanda as a result. Today is processed exactly the same: first the men, then women, then children and in the end, the State, which seeks to strengthen to mediate and punish (often based solely on stereotypes, so is man, woman is the victim, adolescents must be protected), the end result is always the same war of all against all, horizontal violence. Meanwhile, the State encourages and takes advantage of these conflicts, to maintain power. Multiculturalism as it was administered, was nothing more than a Machiavellian politics of divide and rule. So actually we did not have a multicultural policy, but folklore.
