White minority blamed for majority’s failure

I FIND it disappointing that the “w-word”, (white), receives no attention, yet it is synonymous with the “k-word”.

After all the w-word, directed at whites, is used in the same contemptuous, insulting and derogatory sense, usually by highprofile members of the majority, day after day.

Daily racist slander by the majority seems to be acceptable, but if you are white, beware. Like Vicki Momberg, you go to jail for two years.

True, her behaviour was extreme, but would a fine and a period of psychiatric counselling not have been a better option? Such a prison sentence is revenge, not justice.

Thanks to DA leader Mmusi Maimane, we now have a new antiwhite term.

Maimane is currently publicly venting his spleen at what he refers to as “white privilege”.

Predictably, he was supported by our president, during parliamentary debate. This is surely pure racism. Why else make such a comment in the first place?

Maimane is a typical professional victim. This gentleman has achieved major public office, a substantial salary and lovely perks by riding on the back of the white voter, yet now, in common with a number of colleagues, he demonises whites. Such conduct is commonly known as betrayal.

Anti-white sentiment does not bother me, I take it from whence it comes.

What does bother me is that such comment is inciteful at a time when our people die violently every day.

Such comment must surely encourage those with murderous intent and who seem to roam the country unhindered.

Singling out the white minority to cover the majority’s continuing failure is symptomatic of mob mentality and cowardice. It will only serve to perpetuate failure.

We hope and pray that our detractors will grow up, quickly. Let us restore South Africa to what it once was: the most advanced state on the continent.

Respect is earned, not given.
