But this behaviour is far from being sexual. It is about control, which is the AWB's raison d'être.

Re: Eugene Terreblanche is murdered.
I only know about the racesim in South Africa from stories I have been told.
One was my nan's sister, who lived there in the 50-60's (IIRC) as her husband job was there. She said that the blacks were not called blacks but "[mod: derogatory term removed]" (Spelling?), and they were treated like dirt, and certain groups wouldn't think twice about committing a crime against blacks. The second was an old boss whom left SA because of the treatment that the blacks received. They both said that this was only commited my a small number, and some of those a had £££'s and could bribe there way out of trouble. |
Re: Eugene Terreblanche is murdered.
The K word is considered extremely offensive so I've removed it from the above post
It's not term generally used for black people in South Africa instead it's the equivalent of the N word as used in the UK/US for people of african descent.. The term used genericaly was Bantu (which covered over 400 tribes of people who spoke the Bantu language which covered most of southern and central africa) but even that was considered incorrect and in the '70s it's usage was officially removed and instead the term "plural" was used (gawd know's why) Remember though that the term black in SA only took into account the original bantu people and didn't cover what came to be classified as "coloured" which was most people of mixed race and even covered asian and indian people living there if they had any sub-saharan descent in them (for example the cape-malay mix descendants of the original slaves of the Dutch "Jan" Compagnie (VOC) or the san (bushmen of the cape/kalihari area) |
Re: Eugene Terreblanche is murdered.
Sorry I didn't realise it was that offensive.

Re: Eugene Terreblanche is murdered.
I'll send you the wiki-link in PM concerning the racial usage of the word as I'd rather see someone educated than just be told that it's not suitable

Yep, and although the white man against the black man gets a lot of press coverage ( and in some cases rightly so ) you hear very little of black on black, which in a lot of cases is more predominant, tribal / regional / urban, some of the things they can do to each other isn't far short of animal, when you've seen the after effects of a tyre necklace you wonder how and who could do something like it. Then you have the boys ( teenagers ) murdered for their privates as this goes to make their witch doctors potions. Then of course you have the crimes against the white man, burglaries aren't normally just robberies but involve the women of the house being raped in front of the men, beatings, amputations and murder. It can be and is a violent place but please don't blame it all on one colour. |

Very strange when you heard our boiler maker shouting the word to his labourer both of whom were black, mind you, Sam was one of the good 'uns.

Re: Eugene Terreblanche is murdered.
It was actually made illegal to use the word in SA in 1976.. Didn't stop though people like TB and his AWB :(

It went deeper than that, it was used as an everyday, almost slang word for the black population by just about all walks of life that I came across, only between whites though, never to their faces. |
