'Makoe's comments are mischievous'

[Slooth]

Forum for Black Journalist's (FBJ) chairperson Abbey Makoe's claims are "mischievous" and "untruthful", the SA Human Rights Commission said on Wednesday.

This is a contentious issue and one that opens a lot of interpretations. South Africa is a fledling democracy hatched from a segegrated past.

Whilst I think institutions based on race is great as it instils a sense of belonging and pride. I believe, we're too young and too far diversified, as a democracy to understand (or accept) this just yet.

Point in case: The finding recommended the FBJ reconsider it's policy (note it didn't insist that it change it's policy) and didn't impose a fine. This just opens up a can of worms; White only, Asian only and Indian only with the justication of only having to point to this specific finding.

Makoe is a twat.

I would like to ask the SABC, being the nations broadcaster, why they continue to employ such a racist!

I want the BJF to win this case.

We can then have "White Only" Schools, "White only" sports clubs and so forth...Sounds good to me

Just yesterday at an IBM conference I unofficially started the FWC -- Forum for White Consultants.

Only white ppl need apply for membership.
