Outrage after Sobukwe's grave vandalised amid explosive town name backlash

[Jam Sandwich]

Shock and outrage have erupted after the Pan Africanist Congress of Azania (PAC) revealed that the gravesite of its founding president, Robert Mangaliso Sobukwe, has been brutally vandalised.

"PAC condemns in the strongest possible terms the shameful and cowardly act of vandalism committed against the gravesite of the founding President of the PAC, Robert Mangaliso Sobukwe," the party said.

Raising the stakes, the party warned that this was no random act of destruction.

Every time with this larp, and the funniest shít is that they want to use this name because they think "Africa" is European.

Ye, it basically means "Blacks here"

There is a word that describes Africa from the perspective of an African language but even if we use that its a word that is only linked to that culture.

White folks born in Africa don't fit into Europe all that easily in terms of culture. They're African.
Africa is not Europe. Culturally very different, regardless of race.

Azania is a dumb name. It's racially and ideologically charged. It's not even African as a word. It will just create further divides.

I don't get the aversion to the name South Africa. It's the most neutral non-offensive geographical name ever. It's the South... of Africa... woah... stripping away our dignity... expecting these Azania idiots to be smart enough to understand cardinal directions... how utterly racist... South Africa may be in the arctic circle for all they know...

It's in English.

Imagine how little one must have internally to create their own sense of self-worth that they feel this sort of thing matters.
