Today we discuss minorities, and how hypocritical those in a majority position become without even being aware of it. What's acceptable for a person of popular beliefs and attitudes is chastised in a minority, and that makes us as minorities stronger as a result.

I recently called someone a "scumbag" for being racist on the South African Atheists group on Facebook, and in doing so I broke the rules of the group. I was subsequently muted for that, and that's fine I accept the consequences of my actions but I continued to follow the discussion silently. The flagrant racism that ensued blew my mind, I have never experienced this level of tolerance of racism in my life but sadly it was the anti-white flavour of racism which is still widely acceptable in South Africa, even among politicians.

Green is ANC dominated and blue is DA . The first impression one gets when looking at the results for the Upper Highway area in Durban is that it is predominantly ANC run with pockets of DA support. Not unlike most of South Africa and it's what most people have come to expect of South African elections.

The most offensive shit you've ever read. In this post i'm going to tone down the racism and fire up the generalisation instead. If you knowingly limit your character to a stereotypical mould then you deserve all the generalisation that gets thrown your way, and don't you dare drag other people of your race down with you just because you're offended.

Sipho was the only child of his single loving mother, Ayanda. Ayanda wanted to provide Sipho with everything she could to boost his potential during his growing years and so she gave him a huge amount of assorted Lego pieces. One day an orphan named Jannie rang their door bell and being the caring, loving person Ayanda was she adopted Jannie and he became one of the family.

The ANC continue to practice underhanded governance in order to better position themselves for elections. While the ANC are steadily losing their grip on the Cape and surrounding regions they are certainly not above abusing their powers and have ensured that KwaZulu-Natal becomes an ANC stronghold.

News24 just dropped a bombshell ; a cable released by Wikileaks reveals conversations between Rieaz "Mo" Shaik and a US diplomat known only as "PolOff". Mo is the brother of convicted criminal Schabir Shaik and is currently the head of the South African Secret Service . The conversations describe how Mo attempts to control and utilise sensitive information to the advantage of Jacob Zuma and allies.

BEE is blatantly corrupt and racist yet our "leaders" speak of it as if it's perfectly acceptable and even necessary. I have even heard the phrase "No one questions the necessity of BEE, it's the implementation that must be discussed". This is strange to me since 90% of the people i speak to on this topic (black, white, coloured, indian) have said that it's racist and destructive. That's certainly at least a small group of people that do question it.

Jacob Zuma vowed that the ANC would rule until the second coming . Thanks to Sadtu , Jesus may be here sooner than we hoped. Sadtu president Thobile Ntola,  has said that they will overthrow the ANC leadership in 2012, this would be the second time that the ANC leadership was overthrown but this time i'm in full support. Jacob Zuma and his band of lackeys, side stepped the democratic process when they removed Thabo Mbeki and his appointed ministry. South Africa was hi-jacked by a bunch of thugs and since then we have been subjected to open corruption and complete disregard for the constitution and the needs of the people. The recent public servant strikes conducted by Cosatu were irrational and ineffective but the anger of the people was justified. Access to information and education should be the highest priority in government at the moment yet the ANC refuses to increase teacher salaries and insists on establishing a media tribunal . Who is this enemy that they want to pre...

Eugène Terre'Blanche  was murdered on the 3rd of April in his home just outside Ventersdorp . He went from a nobody to a martyr virtually overnight through an act of mindless brutality that is all too familiar with the people of South Africa. I now suggest that the Cape be made independent of South Africa so that whites, coloureds and indians have a place where they can live in safety and the ANC can have the unchallenged dominance in South Africa they desperately desire. We cannot fight the ANC led mass hatred so it appears that the only solution to the growing racism in South Africa is to divide the country. We shouldn't have to do this but the rainbow nation is clearly crumbling and if we are going to avoid a civil war the minorities need to be separated so that the black dictators can maim their followers without interference. I am an idealist but time and time again i am reminded that we are not in an ideal world and we must face the facts; we are not welcome in...

Julius Malema is a racist swine that will never acknowledge a white woman as his superior . I'm not even going to compare Julius Malema to  Helen Zille  because quite frankly that would be extremely disrespectful to the worlds best mayor of 2008 and the premier of the most highly educated province in the country. Not to mention the fact that she had made a significant impact in the fight against Apartheid by exposing the truth behind the death of Steve Biko . What has boy Julius contributed? Most controversial political commentator? You may want to wipe the faecal matter from your lips when you address your superiors, Julius. One thing we certainly can commend Julius for is his ability to persuade millions of people with school yard banter which can be compared to trash talk found in the wrestling industry. Although it should be noted that this may be because of his followers lack of tangible education rather than re...

This morning i drove past a construction site in Rosebank in Johannesburg and saw some construction vehicles moving earth. I'm used to seeing Caterpillar written on the side so i took note of the fact that these were in fact Hitachi vehicles. That name sounded familiar but the logo wasn't familiar at all, it took a little while but eventually the reason dawned on me. I had heard of Hitachi on the radio recently because of the fact that the ANC has a large stake in the company. I need to point out that Hitachi Power specifically was in question because of it's involvement in the building of "much needed" power stations across South Africa. But it appears that the bribery goes further than the power division since the construction vehicles mentioned happened to be working at a Gautrain site which is obviously a government project. Basically our tax money is being paid to Hitachi which in turn is benefiting the ANC. Apparently our constitution does not cater...

I think it's important to briefly mention the importance of the 2nd of February in South African history. Today is the 20th anniversary of the announcement by  F.W. de Klerk that South Africa will become a democratic country and  Nelson Mandela  will be released from prison. It's a bitter sweet anniversary because while we remember how much potential the country held after that announcement no one would have hoped for the corruption ridden, haven for organised crime we live in today. While we may be free of apartheid we have sunken into the slum that the right wingers fought so hard to prevent. Winnie Mandela openly admits we are not living the dream we once had. Poverty, crime, aids and corruption are worse now than during apartheid and it's tearing the country apart. The ANC 's path of destruction must come to an end.

eTV the only free television channel in South Africa, recently aired an interview with two would-be criminals who apparently boast about how they will target tourists during the 2010 Fifa world cup . The South African Police Service have publicly said that eTV are no different from these criminals if they refuse to give their information to the police. In South Africa the Media are our police and the SAPS are just another gang. I would go as far to say the the media actually run this county in a decentralised manner by uniting the people to force the hand of government. Needless to say government and the ANC are not happy about this and the SAPS can ill afford any more bad publicity. The media must be seen to be objective as well as free, i cannot stress this enough. If the SAPS looks bad it's due to it's own failings, as i've mentioned in a previous post we have a political culture of passing the blame along. This is just another reminder that if we are going to af...

The skilled and intellectual are leaving in droves to escape the deterioration of South Africa . We have moved beyond white guilt by now. The ANC has done an amazing job of supporting the argument that black people are not fit to run a country. Racists have no reason to question their beliefs anymore, and those who were never racist are now saying "look at what the blacks are doing". It's got nothing to do with genetics or pigmentation, it's to do with a culture that is not only supported by the ANC, but is the piller that holds it up. It's a culture of lying, cheating and stealing and avoiding responsibility by passing the blame on to apartheid , COPE , the DA or whoever it can be pinned on. Thanks to the ANC South Africa is now the center of the world of organised crime . The ANC is the biggest contributing factor towards racism in South Africa because they condone the idea that black people deserve more than others and it's leaders practice corruptio...

Today we had yet another unscheduled power outage, nothing surprising. After about an hour without electricity, the power came on again followed shortly by a loud abrupt grinding noise which lasted about three seconds and disappeared as suddenly as it started. A number of residents from our complex (myself included) came out to see what the noise was all about and noticed pipes and cables sticking out of a muddied hole in front of the complex near the electricity box. We concluded that it was an electrical explosion. After a few minutes of standing around calling Jacob Maroga all kinds of names the coffin sized hole burst into electrical flames once more. As if 100 Vietnamese guerillas started firing AKs all in unison from a hidden bunker beneath the pavement. I must emphasise that the flames of this wall of fire were hardly the delicate branch licking flames we're used to, these were 1,5 meter tall, lightning charged sprays of destruction. I had no idea that electricity could ...
