Get apartheid on your chest

“I don’t think it’s an honest thing,” said Young. “It’s obvious. However, I think that these interactions on the street around the T-shirts are very important. We all need to start talking about these issues as South Africans.

“White people in South Africa need to admit that they benefited before they can start saying things like this country is crumbling.”

So if the fact that the statement is obvious (or honest) warrants this whole campaign, why don't you start printing some other obviously true statements, like "Blacks in Africa benefited from Western Development". The fact that it is true or obvious doesn't mean much.
 
**** this ****, I never benefited from apartheid, neither did any of my family nor are they currently. I won't apologize for being white. **** you and the horse you rode in if you think I should.
 
The t-shirt should read: "I benefit from 400 years of formal white supremacy."

Shame guys, they're just trying to get the white privilege conversation started.

Agreed- in fact, I feel I lost out because of apartheid. Attending a school that was race-reserved is in no way a benefit. And just because it was a white schools certainly didn't make it a good one. In fact, when I was at school, it was regarded as one of the three worst in Cape Town.

And my reward for being white at the end of that? Fk off to the army to defend a system you don't believe in for a government you couldn't vote against. Benefit my arse...

Your father probably had a better job than he would have had in a freemarket environment. Hence, he sent you to a better school than you would otherwise have gone to.
You benefited from Apartheid
 
I'll wear one of those if all the German guys have one that apologizes for Hitler,the English guys wear one for putting the Boers in concentration camps, the black guys wear one for murdering the khoisan etc

I have no problem admitting that as a white I did benefit from apartheid and my child still do and its a fact. It was not a system I agreed with, its not a system I believed in and its not a system that should ever have existed.

The truth is I lived most of my life in the country and so I cannot lie by saying I did not benefit.

But do I suffer from white guilt, no, never have, never will. So I say to you all, don't apologize for you are, but do not deny the truth of the past.

Are you being serious or trolling?

I went to the same school as anyone else could have, in fact grade one was majority non-white children. Maybe their parent's benefited from apartheid too.

Best one I ever saw was a black dude with one that reads "fsck you!" on the front, when you pass the guy you can't not look back and then it reads "yes you!" :D
 
can't we just go back to a white government with racist apartheid policies so these criminals have an actual reason to piss and moan like they do ?

it's just like an old joke now.

Some people believe that all whites under apartheid went to white only schools. There where many non-racial schools in the past, many white kids spend a good portion of their school years in farm schools too. Even in my lily white suburb a private school had non-white students during the bad-old 80's
 
I have a t-shirt to sell to a lot of black people. On the front it says:

"I am currently benefitting from racism."

Tastefully done in white with black lettering...
