702 racist news headlines

I still get a kick out how most of the Afrikaans music vdeos show them wearing cowboy hats , whats up with that lol.
 
I think I have been vindicated by the fact that 702 have now stopped using the term “Afrikaans” in reference to Jurie Els. Firstly despite what you may think I did not object because I was Afrikaans speaking but because I thought that such terminology was not to be used in South Africa unless there was a particular reason to add further identification. In the case at hand there is no necessity to label the accused as Afrikaans. They have, in their omission, accepted the fact that they never intended it to be a genre of music, but rather a language issue.

Complaint to 702:

I am tired of hear the headline “well known Afrikaans singer, Jurie Els”.......

Firstly he is not well know I had never heard of him before and secondly why the Afrikaans? You don’t say Zulu Politician Jacob Zuma or Jewish Business man Barry Tannenbaum do you?

So take it out of your report

He sings in afrikaans?

Only when the words afrikaans and singer are used together. ( with apologies to those few afrikaans artists and groups who don't smile, wear silly hats, use soft focus and who include their surname on their cd covers.)

Because he sings in Afrikaans, duh! If they'd said Afrikaner singer then you may have a point.
 
I still don't think it implies the genre of music, and if it does to you its ambivilent to me

What a pathetic argument.

It is a genre of music. And if you don't like hearing about it or Jurie Els, you are empowered! Empowered to GTFO or listen to another radio station. Stop demanding others to change for you. They couldn't care less what you thought.

We live in the era of collectivism. We don't mind; you do. So deal with it pumpkin.

What an idiot! Seriously?

They are OBVIOUSLY reffering to the genre of music he sings! Also just because you don't know him doesn't mean he isn't well known, who are you to decide...

Really? Your attempt at sounding well spoken really is a shoddy one, accused? LOL! Of what being an afrikaans musician, we jury find the accused Jurie Els GUILTY of being an afrikaans musician!:rolleyes:
 
I've got a good mind to tear down my Jurie Els posters and either burn my JE cd's or play them backwards and hear the subliminal ' ek smaak Robbie' messages.

Why is everyone so hostile towards the poor guy? Is the point of a forum not to create a place and space for someone to say something like this? Stop with the personal insults and improve the discussion! :cool:

This discussion can't be improved. It's well below the FAIL point.
