@Natenoged @CapeTimesSA @mailandguardian Cape Town is still under the apartheid regime but we are not ready for this topic. I moved this side in October and yerrr its "You people" every where.

@Natenoged @CapeTimesSA @mailandguardian Cape Town white owned establishments are very big on racism. From the likes of Radisson Blu Waterfront, 12 Apostles, The Mount Nelson, security control staff (White) at Marina Residential etc. As a tenant at Marina, I know the racism first hand. IMBI 🚮

@MootIreland Let's be clear. My country made war with Angola partly to suppress socialist regimes in its region, but primarily to make a grab for Angolan resources. It was a white-supremacist government seeking to derail a liberation struggle and making a bid for imperial possessions.

A day after a US Nazi kills because of the 'great replacement' nonsense conspiracy theory, Dawkins promotes the Euro version. Plausible deniability is no longer plausible for promoting the intellectual justification of fascism.
Richard Dawkins@RichardDawkins

Forget labels like “right wing” & “dark web”, read a book without preconceptions about the author & judge what it actually says. For what it’s worth, I always vote left & I think Douglas Murray’s The War on the West is utterly superb. Please read it with an open mind. Please.

@caveofthedead @towtal14v6 @pol_osei @tysonprop_cpt Considering the fact that apartheid has not been going for 400 years perhaps it is you who needs explaining in baby language. 1948 - 1994 is a period of 46 years. When will BEE (AA) end because no date has been specified? Besides, if we are now all equal why discriminate at all?

@MrSaatchi77 @scrookson @towtal14v6 @pol_osei @tysonprop_cpt The specifics of BEE are a different story. But you'll notice that the tweet I responded to was appalled at the very notion of economic redress. Yes, BEE is an extremely neoliberal, minoritarian approach to economic redress. A far better approach is not hard to imagine.

@DarrellAbel1 @scrookson @towtal14v6 @pol_osei @tysonprop_cpt Is the problem the attempt to make economic restitution, or is the problem corruption. You're conflating the two for your own benefit. The most moral possible law, grotesquely corrupted will not have a good result. It doesn't make that law the problem.

@caveofthedead @scrookson @towtal14v6 @pol_osei @tysonprop_cpt Allan and we can see how well it's all working out, goverment officials in conjunction with BEE partners are looting trillions. Economy is tanking and unemployment is highest it has ever been. Really apartheid is not Dead it has just changed colour to the new Victor's.

@scrookson @MrSaatchi77 @towtal14v6 @pol_osei @tysonprop_cpt 25 years vs. 400 isn't close to 'in Perpetua'. If you don't understand that South Africa was an iron-working region when Van Riebeek arrived, need to read extensively before hoping to have valid opinions on how our history informs our present.

@MrSaatchi77 @caveofthedead @towtal14v6 @pol_osei @tysonprop_cpt You aren't being logical. Educated people from a global empire arrived in SA and built it from scratch (stone age). There is not doubt they dominated. That can't continue to be used as an excuse to run another apartheid 'in Perpetua'. Either we are equal or we are not.

@pol_osei @tysonprop_cpt Amazing how you get pushback in this thread with an issue this clear-cut... 27 years after the end of apartheid. Some people just need to be moved to an island called "Den Isle"

@scrookson @towtal14v6 @pol_osei @tysonprop_cpt Lemme try explain in the kindergarten terms you may understand: If Johnny stops Helen and Jane getting any cake for two years, it's not unfair to give Helen and Jane first pick of the cake for a week or two. The cake is the SA economy. Two years is 400 years of looting. Savvy?
