Apartheid was a pretty good deal for white people - now it's over it they want to take all their gains and go off somewhere without having to deal with the consequences of screwing over the majority of the country for 40 years.
Almost every white South African foresaw a gloomy future for a black-led SA, what's so special or prophetic about Eugene?Everyone here should know that Eugene Terblanche had some pretty extreme, far right views. While I am not an avid supporter of his (I was too young at the time), I can't help but watch this video and come to realise that almost all of his points are valid.
How is it that someone who died over a decade ago, could foresee the current economic/cultural/etc problems we are now facing in South Africa in 2018??
Huh. You are confused. They wanted a small homeland of their own somewhere outside Ventersdorp. How does that calculate to "all their gains"So how come they didn't go it alone when they where in charge and had the ability to make it happen?

And I am white, and I want FSCK ALL to do with Christianity...

Typical English person to put that 40 year time stamp on it. Lol
Why do Afrikaners suddenly feel the need for their own homeland? Why didn't they ask for or establish one in the decades they held power?
I wasn't responsible for Apartheid. It therefore isn't my responsibility to fix the fsck up.So how come they didn't go it alone when they where in charge and had the ability to make it happen?

So what if we want to take our gains? We built it ffs it's ours and look what's happening to it look at the carnige that you see around you.So how come they didn't go it alone when they where in charge and had the ability to make it happen?

It also isn't my responsibility to fix the fsck up of poor governance over the last 25 odd years.
Why?Its our shared responsibility.

Why?
I didn't cause it.
How can I bear responsibility for something I had no say in or power over?
I'll take responsibility for my actions and my actions alone, not the actions of other people.
We could also recognise that inflicting negative consequences on someone for an event over which they had no power is fundamentally unfair... then we could emigrate. Which is what a lot of people are choosing to do.Its our shared responsibility as citizens of our country yes we are responsible for our own actions but hopefully we can also be responsible citizens. It is easy to blame apartheid its easy to say it wasn't your fault but the facts is we are born here we are stuck with trying to make things better.

I think perhaps it isn't so much a case of "now it's over it they want to take all their gains and go off somewhere without having to deal with the consequences of screwing over the majority of the country for 40 years" but instead that those white people alive today who had nothing to do with Apartheid don't want to bear the negative consequences.
I don't think anyone should be judged on the sins of their fathers.Do you feel as though they should bear the consequences of their fathers?
Those two events.. Over and above him being a racist of epic proportions should be enough...Sorted
Yes I'm also not religious. Sooooo nothing then? No one in the past perhaps too look up to or anybody to reference when saying hey once upon a time we had a change of surviving?
Homelands were not really a choice, were they?Everyone else has their homelands and their tribal authority and kings. Why deny Afrikaners of this.
