Soos meeste van julle weet is ek en Dries baie liberale Suid Afrikaners. Ons stem glad nie saam met apartheid of enige rasisme wat daarmee saamgaan/saamgegaan het nie. Ons verstaan nie hoekom party swart mense nogsteeds baas en miesies sê nie? Maar dit gesê stem ons ook glad nie saam met die kak wat nou in Suid Afrika aangaan nie. Ek het 'n e-possie ontvang wat so paar punte uitgewys het wat my bietjie laat dink het. Kom ons wees maar eerlik die e-pos generalize nou ook heeltemal, maar sonder generalization gaan ons nooit sekere statements kan maak nie.
Hier volg statements wat die e-possie bevat het: (ek het hom bietjie gesensor...)
You call me 'Whiteboy, Famma, Maboeroe, Lekoa, Whitey, Settler, White Trash' and that's ok.
But when I call you 'Nigger, Caffir, Piksteel, Houtkop, Muntu or Gook you call me a racist. (Kan ek net uitwys dat die woord Gook eintlik ontstaan het tydens die Korean war, dis 'n derogatory woord wat die Amerikaanse soldate die Koreans gedoop het en word meestal gebruik wanneer verwys word na South-east Asian mense...so weet nie waar hy op die bandwagon gespring het nie?)
You say that White people committed a lot of violence against you, so why are the ghettos, townships and Africa the most dangerous places to live in the world?
You have:
- Bursaries for previously disadvantaged
- Freedom Day
- Youth Day
- Thabo Mbeki
- Affirmative action
- BEE
- Employment equity
- BCM, PAC and A za po
- People singing "Kill the boer, the famma"
If we had WET - (White Entertainment TV) we'd be racists. If we had a White Pride Day you would call us racists. If we had white history month, we'd be racists.
If we had an organisation for only whites to 'advance' our lives, we'd be racists or white supremacists.
If we had a college fund that only gave white students scholarships, you know we'd be racists. There are 100% black colleges and universities in SA, yet if there we 'Afrikaans universities' that would be a racist institution.
In the Soweto march, you believed that you were marching for you race and rights. If we marched for our race and rights, you would call us racists.
You are proud to be black and you're not afraid to announce it. But when we announce our white pride, you call us racists.
I am proud, but you call me a racist. Why is it that only whites can be racists?

So nou wil ek weet wat julle views is maaikies? Stem julle saam, stem julle nie saam nie? Wat is waar, wat is nie? Beleef Suid Afrika dalk 'n reverse apartheid? Stuur vir my julle views dan post ek dit op die blog. Politieke discussions is altyd so lekker...hier gaan ons vuur en vlam!
