SA media

Graag klop ek hiermee die media en spesifiek die ST op die skouer vir die wyse waarin hulle bewys het hulle het geen objektiwiteit nie. Dis ‘n koerant so na aan Afrika se hart. Mnr. Bullard word die pad gewys oor hy een sogenaamde rassistiese artikel geskryf het terwyl skrywers soos Mnr. Quelane voort stoom met openlikke blatante rasse haat. Mooi gedaan. Dit ’smack’ van Zimbabwe-isme.

Kry dit in julle koppe. Geen kritiek teenoor die swart man is toegelaat nie. Julle is wel welkom om die wit man op ‘n daaglikse basis sleg te sê.

Ek het ‘n spesmaas dat Bullard gesê het wat meeste gatvol-sleggesêde-nie-gewaardeerde-en-ook-deel-van-hierdie-land-se-suksesse-wit-mense lankal wou sê. Nou gaan ek ook soos Quelane sê dat dit NIE rassisme is nie (Bullard se artikel). Dis slegs regverdige kritiek. Wat geld vir die een, moet mos geld vir die ander!

Bullard se artikel: “Die rubriek, Uncolonised Africa wouldn’t know what it was missing, beskryf hoe Suid-Afrika sou gelyk het indien die “wrede wit man” nié “gekom het en die rustige idille van die vroeë swart setlaars versteur” het nie. “Daar is geen paaie nie, want geen paaie is nodig nie, want daar is geen motors nie. Dis 2008 en niemand het ’n sweempie van belang in Suid-Afrika nie, buiten ’n handjie vol plant- en dierkundiges wat die land se fauna en flora wil ondersoek,” skryf hy. Bullard beskryf onder meer hoe die bevolking nooit aan die “sondige weë van die Weste” sou blootgestel wees nie en hoe hulle elke aand stories rondom ’n vuur sou vertel. “Hulle bly in enkelverdiepinghutte só gerangskik dat dit die meeste son kan vang. Hul diere wei daar naby. Daar is geen aaklige winkelsentrums wat duur goedere gemaak deur Asiatiese slawe verkoop nie. Die plaaslike gemeenskap stook ’n bier gemaak van groente en drink dit uit vlak houtbakke.” In die laaste paragraaf skryf hy hoe mense van “ ’n plek genaamd China” eendag die land besoek op soek na “kool, metaal, olie, platinum, weiland, vars water en ’n hele lot goedkoop arbeid”. “Skielik besef die inheemse bevolking wat hulle nog altyd gemis het: iemand om te blameer. Uiteindelik is hul gebede beantwoord,” sluit hy af.

Van Quelane se artikels: “…The “baas” and “miesies” mentality still holds sway among a greater part of the white section of this country’s population: they want to claim for themselves the sole copyright of the ability to think but, having all their miserable lives never been confronted with blacks who can think for themselves and can brush off the lies, stand their ground and refuse to be cowed. When they are, Baas and Miesies resort to what they know best - bullying, threats and lying… I still maintain, as I told the meeting, that there continue to be numerous pressures on us as a people that require us - the black people - to address fully. Most of those pressures are peculiar to the black community, and as such it would require black people with their first-hand knowledge and understanding of the situation, to formulate responses accordingly. The majority of black people live in squatter camps; those are our uncles and aunts, cousins, brothers and sisters. We do not speak with an “ag-shame” attitude when we talk about the “squatters” and their depressed and depressing living conditions; we talk from bitter experience, not the intellectual theorising of some white people and their coconut friends. We are the only section of the population whose children and youth are afflicted by the scourge of teenage pregnancies, wayward alcoholism and drug dependency. Again we do not intellectualise about these horrifying conditions. We live them on a daily basis. Neither will denying that the HIV/Aids epidemic affects, in the main, the black population nor will trying to deny the fact that the majority of criminals and lawbreakers in South Africa are black, solve anything. As blacks, I doubt it very much if we would be as keen as whites and their coconuts to scream for the return of the death penalty, because we are keenly aware that the death penalty was always meant mainly for black people; I think we would be more inclined to seek honest solutions which would include the causes underlying the rising crime spiral. So by supporting our decision to have blacks-only imbizos where we delve deep into these matters, one is not being racist: we are pro-black, but not necessarily anti-white. Think very carefully about that last sentence. Or, as I will not be surprised by the reaction, go on convincing yourself uselessly that all this “confirms” that I am a racist!”

Gaan lees gerus al sy artikels. Hulle is min of meer op dieselfde trant.

Een ding moet ek sê van hierdie man JQ. Hy kyk na SY mense, terwyl die wit mense maar net aan hou, terwyl hulle links en regs sleg gesê word en op hulle gevoel gespeel word, nie genoeg hulp aan ander volke kan gee nie en dit terwyl wit kinders ook honger in die strate van o.a. Pretoria bedel. Kinders! Wat het hulle met apartheid te doen gehad? Wie gaan na JOU mense kyk wit man? Ek gee nie meer ‘n duit om of enige iemand dink ek sê MOENIE die groter meerderheid swart armes help nie, want ek help. Ten spyte van mense soos JQ. Wat ek sê is MY prioriteit EN JOUNE lê nou by my en jou mense en dis wie ek eerste gaan help.
