More minor distractions to keep everyone's attention away from the ANC.

Good that he got fired. Calling people derogatory names has never been right and certainly not in the past 20 years in South Africa.
Just because you have been doing it for 60 years does not make it right you fool.
Every miserable fool who has nothing at all of which he can be proud, adopts as a last resource pride in the 'nation' to which he belongs; he is ready and happy to defend all its faults and follies tooth and nail, thus reimbursing himself for his own inferiority. ~ Arthur Schopenhauer

I used to work for a company when I was younger and the owner and one of his employees had a very strange relationship.
The owner would refer to said employee as a k****r while he'd in return respond with ''Ja, mlungu'' or he'd walk it to the office and ask ''Where is the old bastard?''
When I asked if the use of k****r bothered him the guy said no because the owner is old, so he ''understands'' why he uses the word. The two worked very well together and this guy was actually a key employee that the business relied on.
Strange relationship.

This guy deserved to be fired for not thinking of how the word is perceived by his sub-ordinates.

What were the comments?

**** is getting crazy. People should really stay off Twitter and Facebook.
Yep, people take it for granted that they are public platforms. Yes you are connected to people that you "trust", but all it takes is one share or retweet from one of your connections and you are fooked.
Rather keep your comments for the braai with your friends

Or don't... That's how people turn their kids into racist dingbats.

Respect to the guy for being unapologetic about being racist; at least we know where he stands.

Commented on a article where a white child was allegedly raped by a black man.
Was some rubbish along the lines of: "Whites should go and rape and kill the kids of these blacks to show them what its like"

Yip - because bigotry goes so well with a well cooked piece of meat. A racist in trusted company is still a racist.

Wasn't just on Facebook. Or so I am led to believe - apparently had a bad attitude towards non-whites in general (the post just gave others in the office the chance for which they were waiting to escalate to HR)
