'I'm no racist'

At the outset, I would like to say that I am a proud South African and a former supporter of the ANC.

Points and laughs! No seriously ... HAHAHAAAAAAAA!!!

Your supporters are turning against you, like breaking away from a cult they wake from the dream and realise how they've been used. The ANC of today is an organization with rotten leaders, and that's what the painting highlighted nothing more.

Calling the race card is just pathetic.

Oops! I've made a terrible mistake by supporting the anti - Spear group. After reading Brett's statement I have to admit that this is a very good thing that happened.

The fact that we have these artists to bring about these discussions and exposure of problems enriches the democracy we claim to live in.

I commend you for changing your view.

Many anti spear proponents want no different. You need to try differentiate the middle and the fringes.

Cape Town - A man who admitted to defacing a controversial painting of President Jacob Zuma said on Wednesday he did it to “deracialise the painting”.

Barend la Grange, 58, told reporters at the Johannesburg Regional Court: "I did it to diffuse and deracialise the painting. We have better things to worry about."

Give that man a Johnny Blue (while he's in jail for a while or suffering the fine ;)).

But it is no excuse for racists to act the way they do on the internet on platforms such as News24 and MyBb. No excuse for people to vent about problems with racism.
 
I feel vindicated, I just hope the ANC anti-"spear" supporters and other ilk on MyBB have the courage of their convictions to make their voices heard in support of Murray, else I would continue to believe they have double standards and this country is doomed.

Sure, once society is a bit more balanced. If we were to continue that way, there would be no black middle class or black diamonds. At least not in a mere 20 years. Time is of the essence.

What does AA/EE/BEE have to do with Brett Murray's affidavit: "I'm no racist"?

Postman is turning all threads deemed political in his "White Privilege", "poor disadvantaged", "BEE/AAA/BBBEEE is wonderful for us all" arguments!

No I'm not, your ilk are because they still do not understand why BEE is a necessity for our survival.
 
Curiously the ANC was all for freedom of expression when it came to "Shoot The Boer".
