Republiek van Suid-Afrika was a great country until blacks seized the power . In nowdays this Republiek is in a state of free fall . "What could be more interesting in a country where 31% of pregnant women (one in three!) Is a carrier of the HIV virus, the number of people infected adults over 20% (one in five), and the total number of so-called "AIDS orphans", that is, children whose parents died of the dreaded disease, is estimated half million? By the way, so massive and popular in today's South Africa crime of rape of children is just that - medical - "justification": less likely to get infected!" "What happened next , the reader already knows. Just add some statistics: in 2005 - 18 793 murders (on average 51 murders a day), 24,516 attempted murders , 249,369 criminal attacks with grievous injuries , 55,114 reported rapes . And this in a country with a population of 47 million inhabitants. For comparison, in the United States ( 288.2 million people ) were registered in the same year, 16,110 murders. 99% of all crimes are committed by blacks against blacks against whites. Finally, the last figures : the most horrendous crimes against apartheid human life were recorded March 21, 1960 (the so -called " massacre Sharperville " - 180 wounded and 69 killed during acceleration unauthorized demonstration ) and 16 June 1976 (" The student uprising in Saueto " - 566 killed) ." http://art-of-arts.livejournal.com/581311.html?nojs=1
south africa's problems are directly the result of past imperialistic colonialism and apartheid by excluding it's indigenous majority from taking part in the social, economic and democratic growth of the nation...
Nope . South africa's problems is not result of past imperialistic colonialism and apartheid .The source of South africa's problems is in forced liberalisation of white population of South africa in 80th of last century.
Great comment on a South African resource. The source of scandal was provocative artist Murray's painting ,on which he portrayed Zuma President of the South Africa . Here is comment I am a racist "A South African artist called Brett Murray has been causing a huge stir since his painting of South Africas president titled The Spear was put up in a local gallery. The ANC have worked themselves up into a total frothy about the painting and their biggest issue with it - Its racist. ??????? Disrespectful, maybe. Rude, maybe. But racist??? That little word that has become the political whip with which the ANC work the masses up into angry mobs and riots anytime something happens that they dont like. And its becoming really really tiring. In South Africa, the word racist has lost its original meaning and now only gets used to describe a white person doing something a black person doesnt like. You never hear it used in any other context. You cant say to a black CEO that he is racist because he wont hire white people, no - hes just making sure that only blacks get hired because of BEE. You cant call a university racist because they wont accept an application from a white student with straight As for 8 subjects - instead taking on a black student who barely passed matric. Nope, theyre not racist, theyre just correcting the wrongs of the past. But god forbid you do hire the white person or you do admit the white student, youll be branded racist by the government quicker that you can say colour shouldnt be the issue here because how dare you choose a white person over a black person in a democratic South Africa. Most of the time when you are a white person and you call your fellow countrymen to be held accountable for their unacceptable words and actions such as corruption, nepotism, fraud, theft, youll be branded a racist. Today, I shouted at a taxi driver who pushed in-front of me nearly driving me into the curb with no regard for the fact that I have a child in the car - I must be a racist, because only racists care about road safety it would seem. I complained to the manager of my bank because the woman handling my account is so incompetent and hasnt responded to one email or message Ive left her for over 2 months! Nevermind that my account is about to be shut down because of FICA. I must be a racist then because only racists expect service from a bank and stupidly think an organisation is going to actually do the job they promise to do in all their marketing material. The other day my husband confronted a woman outside a shopping centre after she carelessly threw her fast food packet on the floor less than 10cm from a dustbin. Her response - "youre just a racist". Yes, youre absolutely right, because only racists care about keeping their city clean and litter free. I fired a lady who worked for me once because I caught her rummaging through one of my cupboards and she had taken my passport and other belongings which I found in her bag. Her only response - "youre a racist". Yes, yes I am. Because only racists think that stealing is a criminal offense and is done by people with no morals or conscience. I swear being a white person in this country can be very bloody exasperating at times. The ANC has brainwashed the masses with this little word - racist - to the point that its actually completely lost its meaning and now gets used totally out of context. Most days I just let it pass and I dont go into effect of it. But today is not one of those days. Today Im angry and today Im sick and tired of it. Im not shouting at you because youre black, Im shouting because youre a maniac on the roads who is a danger to society. Im not complaining to your manager because youre black. Im complaining because youre an incompetent moron who is incapable of doing her job properly. Im not firing you because youre black. Im firing you because youre a thief. Im not confronting you because your black, Im shouting at you because youre a messy pig who expects other people to clean up your mess. Please get over yourselves and move out the way of the remarkably amazing black people who DO take total responsibility and who actually want this country to work for ALL the people who live in it. If being a racist in this country means that I will stand up for my rights, fight for what is fair and true and hold everyone around me accountable for their words and actions, then I am a racist through and through. If being a racist means that I believe in freedom of speech and expression and that everyones point of view is relevant, no matter what colour, age or sex, then I will proudly announce to all who can hear that I am a racist. If being a racist means that I believe we should all be treated with the same rules and consequences and that no-one, especially not the President, is above the law and exempt from criminal prosecution when that law has been broken, then print me a t-shirt saying I am a racist and I will wear it in the streets. If being a racist means that I will not stand idly by while the few, corrupt pigs in the ANC rape this country for everything they can get with no regard for the poor and the homeless and the uneducated, then Ill get Im a racist tattooed on my back. Mr Zuma and the ANC - you need to get a different vocabulary. Instead of shouting at someone like Brett Murray about a painting being offensive, maybe you should be asking yourselves why he painted it in the first place. Instead of wanting to take Zapiro to court every time he depicts the president & his shower head in one of his cartoons, why dont you stop to realise that there is truth in everything he draws and that your angry responses are really due to the fact that he keeps hitting a nerve thats a little too close to home. Maybe, Mr Zuma, its time to take a long, hard look in the mirror. If you were honest with yourself youd see that people actually have very little respect for you because some believe you have lied and cheated your way through your Presidency. According to reports you have been involved with more seedy, corrupt criminals than Horatio Cane and that you have abused funds for personal gain. Even the great Oliver Tambos daughter doesnt think much of you based on what she had to say about the painiting: He should inspire the reverence he craves. This portrait is what he inspired You Mr Zuma and your ANC are a bunch of CANTS! CANT let go of the past CANT stop operating from a place of revenge and hate for whats happened in the past CANT stop the out of control corruption that is rife throughout every government department CANT seem to get the education right in this country CANT say goodbye of Affirmative Action and BEE which is ruining businesses across this land But what do I know? Im just a white girl talking about a black man. I must be a racist" http://www.news24.com/MyNews24/I-am-a-racist-20120522
that's an extremely narrow minded and naive viewpoint, nothing happens in isolation... any political/social situation we have today has is a result of a long historical development...when the bigger picture is revealed current situations have all developed after decades if not centuries of previous political economic and social decisions...
you know i agree with girl written post "I am a racist". o.k. wyly so tell me the story about genocide in Rwanda what happened in 1994.
The white is superior race on the planet Earth , the Mongoloid race on the second place . But negroes are exclusively primitive people they are useless ballast .IMO
According to the Zondervan Bible Dictionary the 'negroe' is NOT the same as the so- called blacks of West Afrika and 'Sud' Afrika.
The Freedom needs the responsibility . The blacks knows they own rights but they do not understund what responsibility as is.
I have an experience enough to see the degradation of white race .Tell me why i must respect the black race .They are doing something good for the civilisation ?
South Africa is falling apart because it is becoming a proper African country with all the violence,crime and corruption that entails. The ANC will end up becoming a one party state with a dictator and all whites will eventually leave.
The problem with SA is the economy and the lack of jobs available which in turn pushes people into crime; namely violent muggings. And they definitely need to get their police back in line as the discipline was bad even during the apartheid era.
the genocide traces it's foundation to German and Belgium racist colonial policies with preferential treatment of one ethic group the Tutsi, over another the Hutu's...nothing happens in isolation everything has a connection but you have to have at least a minimal historical knowledge to understand that...
yup...it was a relative of mine that founded the apartheid system and the police back then were every bit as corrupt as they are now...I liken the situation to that of a homeless person winning a super lottery,...becoming instantly wealthy will not transform him into a financially competent individual and there's a good chance he'll lose all that new wealth as has no idea how to manage it...similarly giving independence to a people who have been deliberately shut out of the affairs of nationhood/governance for 400yrs is going to be difficult, like the lottery winner it's going to take time for them to develop a culture of good governance...
there's some irony here...EvilAztec a russian being dismissive of South Africa's progress with democracy while Russia's progress with democracy still falls well short of western standards of democracy...the difference between South Africa and Russia is indigenous South Africans were completely shut out of governing themselves for 400 years, Russians on the other hand may have gone from the oppressive rule of the Tzars to that of exclusive communist rule but Russians at least were allowed to take part in their bureaucratic governance... so while Russians may govern their country more competently than S Africa their understanding and use of democratic tradition is still a generation behind that of the west...
Yup. those black people are not actually capable for moral behavior are they? Its always someone elses fault why they go on murderous rampages. if only they were fully human and able to make their own decisions. - - - Updated - - - Indegenous South Africans? I suppose you mean the San people -largely wiped out by invading bantu people from the North.
Dont know about you but ilike to take responsibility instead of pointing the finger. If my hands are bloody iman up. Let afrikans take whatever responsibility they need to and let me (europeans) own up to murdering 50 million congolese, thanks.
I am not Belgian . Why on earth should I take responsibility for the Belgian congo? Why are you claiming 50,000,000? Possibly there is 3 million.
Did isay you were?!?! Iam european and so iam going to be a man and take responsibility where it is needed, iam a REAL european, not a mouse, peasant or parasite. Ok, 30 million then, give or take a few million, im sure you get the picture.
