Austin Powerless - on the off-chance that you're not being obtuse and/or disingenuous, your framing of the South African revolution in "Black" and "White" terms is classic racism. Your one-eyed condemnation of the brutality deployed by some "Black" thugs while totally ignoring that of the brutal and racist apartheid regime is also racist, particularly given your apologetics for "White" masters of "Black" "servants", who were contented and happy recipients of "White" largesse in the form of education.

More racist you.

Is that clear enough for you?

CJ, again you show your ignorance.

To deny that the South African 'revolution' was basically a 'Black' and 'White' situation (with a fair dose of Communism thrown in) is indicative of your type of armchair moralising. So, who were the two opposing sides in SA if not Black and White? Grey?

To label my opposing view as 'classic racism' is a joke, though use of that label is typical of your kind when they can't come up with solid facts to support their POV. And if the label fails to provoke,I have noticed that you resort to distorting some posters' on-line names. How mature. Maybe, to keep all things even, we should refer to CJ as 'Court Jester'. I could think of better names but I would be banned if I wrote them.

Was my statement from a previous post 'While not being pro-apartheid, the system was better than the chaos of Zimbabwe that is right now spilling over into South Africa.' racist? If you think so, please explain.

A couple of other things, 'White' masters do not have 'Black' servants. Slaves have masters, servants have employers. And it was pretty stupid to label education for Black students as 'largesse'. Education was provided to better their lot, not make it worse.

CJ.... you are way off the mark there. (I'll self censor the 150 or so other colorful adjectives which would be unbecoming a man of spiritual inclination :)

Would you mind showing me in my post where I denied any criminality in the White regime and where I even mentioned the black?

err.. all I did was attack Philips 'racist' use of language.

I didn't mention the 'white regime' or the 'black resistance'..

tut tut.. you must have had one too many cherries.

There is a verse about that :)

There you go Steven - you've attracted at least two intransigent racists in denial. I think I'll leave you to continue playing with yourselves on this thread.

Do have fun, chaps. For an avowed non-racist, you keep some interesting company, Steven.

better to play with ourselves on this thread than to play with yourself in the dunny. But you know what you like best, CJ.

You may as well leave as you haven't even remotely tried to back up your foolish accusations with facts. All bluster, no substance.

Polycarp...

>>Would you mind showing me in my post where I denied any criminality in the White regime and where I even mentioned the black?<<

You are beginning to morph into an exact replica of Oswald Mosley, Boaz.

Minus the incisive intellect, of course.

Mosley used much the same tactics, on the totally valid assumption that his audience knew precisely where he was coming from.

He even wrote in his autobiography, presumably with a straight face:

"I never attacked any man on account of race or religion, and I never shall." [Sir Oswald Mosley: My Life 1968]

In the same way, we know exactly what to make of your protestations that there is no racist intent in your posts.

Does this ring a bell with you?

"ONE NATION, ONE RACE, ONE CULTURE"

I know, I know, it was your evil twin Boaz who used this mantra.

But we know that it really is you, we're just puzzled why you continue to pretend. Are you ashamed of where Boaz took you, perhaps, and would prefer to forget some of the more ridiculous statements he made?

But you clearly haven't changed, so why not just confess?

It's supposed to be good for the soul, you know.
