Are you marching on Friday?

[cavedog]

Why the fck would you want the highway blocked? :erm:

Yeah because some strike by random white people on a stretch of road no one use will make a difference. I would rather go to work then.

It's been proven so many times the more disruption the better the results. You can say what you want but it's true. Did you see how quickly officials race to a scene were things are chaotic. I never seen a mayor or anyone rush to a scene were a peaceful not disruptive protest was taking place.....

I don't condone violence I"m just saying disruption is the best weapon IMO.

Yeah, sticking our heads in the sand and pretending everything will be okay if we just keep working has worked so well so far...
Stop kidding yourself, the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result....

see post #543

Ahhhhhhhhh jammer.

A few pages I missed.

 

[CandyMan_ZA]

I beg to differ. That entire piece is basically stating that "Hey, let's show our children that the best way to be politically responsible is to hide away in our little day jobs, grinding away and hope that somebody else will make our lives better for us!" Also don't let's try to measure the impact of a single day off work vs the damage that Jacob Zuma has caused over the past YEARS in office, that'd be too inconvenient for that specific argument.

Well said

13 Please, no Madiba shirts. If you must wear a politician's face on your chest, try Biko, Hani, Sankara, Guevara. Go, now, and learn who they are.

15. By the same token, quote them and not Madiba.

Why is that?

Yes I'm worried about what could happen during the march, but we can't just hide away and let "leaders" take advantage of our fears.

Yes there might be violence, there might be pepper spray, there might be tear gas, there might be rubber bullets, there might even be real bullets.

But we need to fight this! It is the only way to get the message out that we've had enough!

 

[cavedog]

Fcken twat. What about emergency services? What about those that cannot participate? Force them to NOT go to work or be late for work? Jirre jisses. Some people.

You have NO right to interfere with people's right to NOT strike.

Lool I like that you think you have a right to speak to someone like that. You kiss your partner or family with that dirty mouth..... Ewwww

Yes exactly, if we are going to give in and be scared at every little threat then we can kiss everything goodbye in the longterm.

Hell yeah, I am organizing the bcmm protests. If you see someone not joining, give them a white feather. They are cowards and deserve it.

(obviously my comment does not apply to those that have legitimate reason not to be there, but very very few will have a legitimate reason, most will not do it because, they cowards, selfish or just douches)

Say what you want. Cavedog has a point. He is not advocating violence. Just saying disruption (not violence) will help the cause.

 

[Mike Hoxbig]

Why is that?

Because a lot of white people hide behind their 'love' for Mandela to prove that they empathise. It's easy to see through this.

Whereas other activists actually resonate with the people, even if they might be communists...

There is nothing wrong with mandela, i hope you not working of that terrible list of protest hints for white people. That had to be one of the most backwards, uninformed lists I have ever seen..

As I said I do not condone violence, disruption of essential service or damage to property.

Disruption and specifically aimed at Zuma would be the best way to get the message through to say the people don't take s***.

Yeah, I agree with this sentiment. I think we should just say what we want for ourselves and not revert to appropriating what somebody else has said (and especially if that person doesn't actually stand for anything else we agree with). The best thing I've seen yet was a statement that said let's not make this about any one political party - even if you're joining the DA events, for example. This is about diverse unity, so don't just wear blue and then be easier to write off. We're South Africans who just so happen to disagree completely with the president.

 

[GoneWithTheWindows]

I won't be marching, however I will be manning the helm where I work, which allows a bunch of people to march in my place

Nope, just saying. Ask any white person to name the first struggle icon that comes to mind - which name do you think they will present?

That list is obviously not meant to be taken seriously. But using Mandela to 'prove' that you empathise is overdone and easy to see through.

Heck I'm willing to bet that a lot of people had no idea who Kathrada was until the past year. Yet I've never seen anyone mention Kathrada in the same breath despite spending the same amount of time in jail...

Thats our mission

I have asked in every communication for people to not wear party colors. We are working closely with the EFF. This is mandelas rainbow nation hitting the streets.

Also, please dont block or disrupt other people. Thats not the point of this. Do not block roads, to not cause problems with business. This is a protest march, not a shut down.
