Finnish Premier Apologizes For Father
Washington Times, Aug. 12
Helsinki, Finlandââ¬âThe prime minister of Finland has apologized for his fatherââ¬â¢s racist remarks during a newspaper interview, the Helsingin Sanomat reported Thursday.
Separately, Finlandââ¬â¢s National Bureau of Investigation is considering whether to start a criminal investigation into comments made by former political science professor emeritus Tatu Vanhanen, father of Prime Minister Matti Vanhanen.
In his interview to a publication of Helsingin Sanomat, the professor who taught at the University of Tampere, said evolution made Europeans and North Americans more intelligent than Africans. He also said African poverty is not the fault of the white man.
Prime Minister Matti Vanhanen said the case was ââ¬Åmore a sad matter than a burdenââ¬Â for him. He said the controversy would not have arisen if someone else had made the comments.
In his interview, Tatu Vanhanen also said he favors economic solidarity toward poor countries and hoped immigrants in Finland would inter-marry and assimilate into the population at large.
Police were investigating whether the comments constitute public incitement against a national group, a crime under Finnish law.

Some day people in the United States who speak the truth about race will be prosecuted for offending minority groups. This guy is right, poverty in africa, and south america is not the fault of the white man no matter how much non whites want to think it is. It is their fault they are poor because of their low intelligence quotients and genetic differences. Deep down many blacks and hispanics know this but still would rather blame all of their problems on whitey. My question to them is what will they say went wrong by the year 2050 when blacks and hispanics outnumber whites in america, and america is just another part of the third world.
