Yeah we could do with less of that @AcidOverride

We will always have fewer voices, we are a minority. We should speak up on racism but in the same breath understand that we have no control over what people say and do... as a side note, any speech that offends, just shows how weak people are in themselves. If you are offended by someones words, or a word, you should be able to brush it off, how can words/word have so much power over you?

Basically saying "I'm ok now, fuck you all that are still there"

I think you are blind...
If you play nice and hand over your land and be a good boy and dont use the k word ... things will change...???
the intense hatred and racism displayed on social media and indeed by political leaders will evaporate
If it is not adam it will be something else

Those aren't all the same thing

and 4.5m people cannot all be adam...

Refusing to say the k-word is not like giving the keys to your house to someone

It's not even an admission of guilt, it's just the decent thing to do

Fight to the death for your land if you need to, but do it without saying this one single specific word that most people don't want to hear, and that doesn't need to be said in the first place

Personally, I don't like the word, but I also don't like the word Dagga. Both offend me 😉

ANC taking WHITE land is not racist... calling us settlers and colonialist and murders and thieves is not racist

None of that is a justification for your actions though

"They raped so now I can rape"

Is that the hill you're going to die on?

The entire point is to be a *better* person. To lead by example

@lambdalizard 🌈🐲 This is true, when you teach kids, you have to be the example

Yup

And it's not like you're giving anything up

It's not like refusing to say/tolerate the k-word means you give up the right to vote, or own property

No racial slur is integral to the functioning of society

all civilised people will agree with you .. no racial slurs are necessary...

But neither are

This is exactly the narrative that the BLF and EFF love .... White racism and white people want to talk about black racism....

I'd rather challenge them on their ideas

"Ok so you've taken the land and driven white people into the sea - now what?"

then it is mislabelled as defense of white racism

EWC
exclusion from the workplace due to the color of your skin
Brutal farm murders - slapped down when you protest publicly
leaders calling for our slaughter
wanton destruction of buses trains schools etc
economic destruction of SA

But Ya .. youre right... the kword is causing all of this mess

All real problems, none of them helped by white people continuing to use the k-word

Why is it so important to you that you're allowed to say it @Rox ?

@Rox you have totally missed my point

either deliberately, or because you really don't see it

@lambdalizard 🌈🐲 You are allowed to say it. 😉

Bear the history in mind too. The Zulus lost the Anglo-Zulu war, were then systematically removed from their land, forced into menial labor with poor education, and were then liberated by the ANC - a party that has no ideas and no plan, and has just made things worse over the last 25 years

From their point of view, whites still have everything *and* continue to use racial slurs

I'd be mad, myself, if the situation were reversed

It's even more maddening, I'm sure, that there's no word they can come up with for "white people" that's degrading

Read up.. I dont say it... and dont condone it.. or people who do
But in the grand scheme of things i doubt that is the REAL problem here..
Racism exists against whites too ... beyond just feeling offended... some of which is actual legislation...
Causing white people to flee from this country...

My point is... until this is addressed on BOTH sides... this will continue

And white people can address it right the fuck now by deciding to be conscious of the words they use

Or just one word in particular
