On a recent trip to South Africa along the likes of Oprah and others, Ms. Thunderdome noted: "I don't think we have to please the white people of this country." This country in which whites are oppressed and subjected to tremendous amounts of crime with little, to no, governmental reprisal of the animal perpetrators.
Remember now ...it's okay for blacks to be racist against whites ...it's the other way around where it's bad. Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! Baron Max
Isn't Tina Turner a black Muslim woman? Come to think of it so is Nation of Islam's Lois Farrakhan an anti white racist.
Oh yeah i forgot. Hey , what would happen if there was a white history month? As opposed to the already existant Black history month here in America?
http://www.abc.net.au/news/newsitems/200701/s1820670.htm http://www.guardian.co.uk/southafrica/story/0,,1981705,00.html Tiny Turner is a Buddhist, and I don't see any mention of the quoted statement in these articles about opening a school in South Africa. I also see no evidence of oppression of whites there. It is a great thing that Oprah was doing, but leave it to you guys to turn it into a swiftboat style character assassination. Can you say, sensationalist?!?
How do you define oppression? I'm sure the authors of this website would disagree with you. http://southafricasucks.blogspot.com/
As I recall, Ms. Turner's significant other of many, many years is a white male. I would think that she was saying that white racists deserve no special protection from reactionary black racists. I would think that she understands that reaction is a two-way street.
The site didn't start off that way, but lately it has become less and less PC. I think the writers snapped after writing about the massive black on white crime day after day. However, the site is useful in demonstrating what a hellhole that country has become and the idea that whites aren't "oppressed" there is ridiculous.
Under fire for its record on crime, South Africa's government argues it is difficult to extend post-apartheid law enforcement across a country with a police structure that was originally set up only to protect a white minority ruling class from a disenfranchised black African majority. That's from your link! Those whities don't have their SS troops any more. Now they might realize how the other half of their society lived during apartheid. All of society is sharing the same conditions, and now they have to deal with it. One could always make the case that a totalitarian regime could keep the public peace, but at what price?
The idea that the police only dealt with crime in white areas during Apartheid is ridiculous. After Apartheid crime shyrocketed for everyone there.
SamCDKey: Many are moving, actually. It's a pity, as the only people working towards the future of South Africa as anything but an AIDS-ridden rape-fest, are the whites. Also: They shouldn't have to move, becaus it is, after all, their land. The Boers have been there for well over 300 years, even in areas where there were no blacks to begin with. James R.: As far as I am aware, that was her entire quote. It was on the television with no added context.
