As a Afrikaner the Colonisers(British) probably treated my ansisters the worst. This doesn't open up any old wounds for me.
So in your opinion, your ancestors suffered more than victims of apartheid?

The colonial dogs are not only sleeping, they've been buried for decades.
There is no point to dragging up the benefits of conolialism.
Especially when colonialism isn't going to rise from the grave to save you in this present crisis.
You must be living under a rock because the ANC still blames Jan v Riebeech(who they consider a coloniser that arrived 2000 years ago) for all their problems.

This bit of sarcasm from Zille just kicked that yapping dog in the teeth and now the SJWs are out claiming it was animal cruelty.

Define what you mean by get over something.

She tweeted at the fake outrage of bornfrees. I don't even think they have something legitimate to get over.

because to open wounds, real ones and not the fabricated or self inflicted superficial ones, you are professing, you need to have real ones.

Are you familiar with the boerwars especially the 2nd one and who the colonisers were.

This is before apartheid.

And yes I'm not aware that black people were killed in concentration camps under apartheid or had their houses and farm burned.

Some people aren't aware that the Zulu and Boer fought side by side against the English colonizers. It was the Afrikaaners that had their women and children thrown into extermination camps before they capitulated.

To then go on and equate the Boers with colonizers is a massive slap in the face.

So we should be careful not to hurt people's feelings about imaginary issues that they just make up as they go along?

So the ANC is now our standard?

Common sense doesn't offend people needlessly.
We all know what colonialism built, but we also know at what price.
The pipes are there, what good is it going to do harping on where they came from?
Is she going to ask the colonials to expand the pipe network? To upgrade the system? The fix the water problems?
No? So then why even bring it up? What point could it serve other than to remind people of a painful past?

She responded with a fact. If facts hurt you I guess the problem is with you. South Africa needs less BS and more truth.

just as issues are non imagery when they affect you, farm killings/afrikaans only schools are imagery issues to the other side.

The DA needs a bloodied nose, f-em. Whether it's the capies who deliver it to them with this BS in Cape Town or Zille delivering an own goal I don't care. They desperately need and deserve a bloodied nose.

They'll never unseat the ANC fyi, and they were never going to.
You are 100% correct. South Africa has to be destroyed to the bone. Nothing must remain which reminds you of whites. Only than you'll be truly liberated. #Zim2.0

The dogs aren't sleeping. It's been in the news lately that the poor black people have been having day zero since forever. And now the white people will understand their suffering because they have been privileged in the past.

Her tweets perfectly addresses this.

Well, poor (mostly) black people in the squatter camps have mostly not had running water, us (not whites) people in the suburbs have grown up with running water, now we will feel what they have been feeling for years. We will need to stand in a line to get water. That is a fact. HTF do you take offense at something that is actually just a simple truth?

They brought that upon themselves I feel nothing.

You should ask Maimane that.

And why is it that this is not a celebrated fact ? because history was sanitized to but the Afrikaner as God's volk against the evil Empire and savages of Africa. Slap in the face, when a PK is more in order.

They were actually put into concentration camps and died enmasse.

Mbeki AIDS denialism was probably worse than apartheid (in terms of how many died as a result of it), there are many things that was actually far worse than apartheid, where millions of people died.
