Oi! Leave me out of this...
Guys, apparently there was racist placards and stuff at the marches...
I was at the Durban march and didn't see anything of the sort... At any of the other marches?

Some SJW objected to someone waving a banana around...
There were racist banners at the Sandton march. But that was BLF, not ZMF.

Didn't see anything on twitter and I'm sure it would have been plastered around. Well, wait I did see a few about Tony Leon being the son of the judge who had people executed and a few other "anti-colonial" ones.

Any and all criticism of the ANC is racist, don't you guys know this already?

Saw a lot of "Last Straws". Nothing racial.

Nope, finishing of a few things this week. Leave starts on Thursday. So I'm not going.

Banana republic, but if the banana fits then who's really to blame?

Why would any white in their right mind hold up banners saying the guys marching next to them are baboons.

No, they were saying that people were calling zuma a monkey.

The only party with a legitimate grievance in that equation is the monkey.

They wouldn't, and from what I can gather they didn't. Jacob is just making shyte up again.

Cherry picking a few examples and blowing them out of proportion of course. I saw one or two at CT march that could be considered 'racist' if you squint really hard and deliberately try to make it racist (and ignore the fact that the person holding the poster was not white)
It's of course the usual trick that zuma always uses, trying to drive a wedge between the protesters so that they stop uniting, racial division is the only power that Zuma has.

Smells like desperation to me, i think all protesters involved will see right through it.

Ag shame, die arme zumatjie.
I'm sure if there was such a poster it didn't call black people baboons, it called you a baboon.
Personally I would be far more concerned with this one but then ( so sorry, ) it wasn't held by a whitey.

If I were him I'd be more worried about the (not white) guy who was screaming "Zuma must not fall he must die"
Your post was ambiguous hence my response, in my march I specifically told the media to inform the public not to wear party colors. Mind you, at the time I thought the EFF would have the balls to join us, and I wanted to reduce friction points and increase diversity.
