Article: EFF calling white people boers

Economic Freedom Fighters leader Themba Wele in the Bhisho legislature was kicked out of the House for calling white people boers, Sowetan reported on Wednesday.

Legislature speaker Noxolo Kiviet kicked Wele out of the House on Tuesday for referring to white people in his speech as "AmaBhulu" (boers).
 
They do provide a fair amount of entertainment, but in a worrying way though.
 
Boer = farmer.

You really have to be the king of an entire planet of your own called Retard if you think all white people are farmers.

At this rate, these fools will spend most of their time sitting out their working day in the local pub then actually doing any work. Nice clever strategy that !

Good. Boer has very racist connotations. No place for that kind of regressive racist kark in this country.

R80k p/m for doing even less than the ANC government.. whoop.
 
But why is "boer" derogatory.

I don't mind being called one, even if I'm not a farmer.

The only offense that is connected to that word exists only in the some people's minds.

Im not a boer. Why call all white people boers? Thats racist.
 
Ek stem volmondig saam - dis nie vir my 'n skeldnaam nie - het in elk geval nie "chips" op my skouers nie en is gelukkig in my vel dankie!
 
Whitey, boer, soutpeel - who cares - I am white and proud of it. Unlike them who have problem with their "culture name".....

I am not afrikaans or a boer. I dont care if you like it. Its probably your culture. Its not mine. Its like calling a xhosa a zulu.
