Tired of double standards in SA

I WATCHED the news the other night and saw a very slim Julius Malema talking about not slaughtering white people, yet. I was just wondering how we have double standards in South Africa. If any white person even dared to say that, there would be thousands of people jumping up and down because of the racist whites.

We all know and acknowledge that the past 100 years were insulting and painful to the majority of the people of South Africa and it is sad that there are still people in South Africa who look down at others for the way their skin looks.

The problem is that it is still both sides and not just a white or black problem. The fact that Julius Malema insults and threatens white people is also not helping.

The problem Mr Malema has, in my opinion, is that he forgets that the Khoi and San people were here first and the fact that he keeps on talking about stolen land is absolute rubbish. The white people of South Africa have just as much right to own land in South Africa as he or anybody else.

What baffles my mind is that it looks like most people don’t disagree with him and don’t do anything to stop him.

If Julius Malema, or anybody like him, doesn’t want white people in South Africa then, in my opinion, that’s fine, provided that he provide the whites with another option to get out of South Africa. Going back to Europe is not an option for most white people, so where do all the white people go?

He should stop being a racist and let’s either build up this great country or let’s look at a way out for the whites, but one thing is certain and that is we cannot continue like this.
