RUSSIAN President Vladimir Putin sparked uproar yesterday by saying Africans had a history of CANNIBALISM.
He lashed out at the continent's past after being challenged about Russia's human rights record.
In an astonishing outburst, Mr Putin said: "We all know that African countries used to have a tradition of eating their own adversaries.
We don't have such a tradition or process or culture and I believe the comparison between Africa and Russia is not quite just."
Tony Blair, who had just finished talks with Mr Putin, was left squirming with embarrassment as the former KGB boss let rip.
Minutes before the outburst, Mr Blair had hailed reaching a deal with the Russian leader on aid and debt relief for Africa.
But Mr Putins remarks about cannibalism will be greeted with astonishment in Africa and the wider world, as he will succeed the PM as G8 president next year.
Commission for Racial Equality chief Trevor Phillips said last night: "What a preposterous thing to say. He is at best insensitive and at worst a downright racist."
Fuck off, Trevor. There's truth in the statement for at least half of the continent. Even as we speak, Pygmies in the Ituri jungle in central Africa are prized delicacies for those banana-brained African morons. For some reason, devouring a pygmie's innards is supposed to give magical powers. I guess they learned this shit from Hitlery Rodham
