Is now classed as a racist because he depicted the truth about Zuma on a canvas

That twit who painted the X over the painting missed a golden opportunity. Should have used No TOLL GP stickers instead.

Hell yeah. I'm considering doing this in real life. I really think I am onto something here. Sure I will probably get punched in the face at some point but I'm determined to further the proud goal of the ANC to reduce the word racist to something completely and utterly meaningless.

When I am done you are going to be able to describe everything as racist. Everything. Heck I will turn racist into a fscking verb you just watch me.

If you're a white man, this is what you are. It doesn't even matter if your wife is black and you have an adopted child from India, or how many black friends you have, somehow you're going to end up being a racist according to how the media portrays the white man as "racist whities".

Register the name...."I am a racist" as a slogan.;)
Charge people for using the slogan.:D

Within days you will roll in the money.
 
racist 452 up, 142 down
the true deffinition is believing that one race is superior to all other. Hatred without reason of another race. ETC.
SADLY today that has changed.
In todays world this is what makes you racist:
Mentioning race in any way
Not being totally politically correct
Supporting your race
Being white
Telling a racist joke
Judging by hair color
Disliking something someone likes
etc.
As you can see this word is grossly over-used and mis-used. It's truly pathetic. I pity the world. The truth is racism is ignorance and is bad. But not everything is racism and not everything has to be about race. Hope you learned something!
Real example of racist
racist: (insert race here) is better than every other race. I think that (insert different race) people are disgusting and horrible and should die.

Idiot's example of racist:
person: I don't like blondes
idiot: OMG RACIST!

guy: I hate Green Day.
idiot: OMG RACIST

dude: My friend is black
idiot: OMG RACIST!

man: I'm white
idiot: OMG RACIST

woman: I'm proud of my race
idiot: OMG RACIST

stranger: So an (insert race) guy walks into a bar....
idiot: OMG RACIST!

Calling Murray a racist is just a satisfying travesty

http://www.timeslive.co.za/opinion/...murray-a-racist-is-just-a-satisfying-travesty

he Times Editorial: For an editorial on the same subject to appear three days in a row is rare in any newspaper's life. But the Brett Murray controversy appears to have taken on an over-the-top and hysteria-edged life of its own.

Yesterday four events marked the latest developments in this controversy.

First, President Jacob Zuma made an urgent application for an interdict to stop Murray's painting, The Spear, from being exhibited at Johannesburg's Goodman Gallery and shown on City Press's website.

Second, two protesters took it upon themselves to deface the work.

Third, City Press and the gallery were told that they must appear before the Film and Publication Board, which is to decide whether the artwork should be classified as pornographic.

The ANC, on hearing about the defacement, said it was not going to halt the court application. As far as it is concerned, the matter must be heard as a matter of principle.

But let's look at the other principles involved, such as the artist's right to freedom of expression and the way in which his past has been ignored by those who want to crucify him.

On the front page of our newspaper today we put together a collage of pictures from Brett Murray's life - a life that is the polar opposite of that attributed to him by those who damn him as a sinful, racist white artist.

Instead, we see a young South African growing in consciousness, fleeing the country to escape being conscripted into the army. The images reflect a man who turned his back on white South Africa because of his beliefs.

It is in this context that we ask: If black South Africans can write and paint about their disappointment in the new South Africa and the road the ANC has chosen, why is it such a catastrophe - of national proportions - when a white, committed South African says that he, too, is disillusioned? His art says what many black South Africans express through civil unrest, uncompromising printed columns of discontent and letters to newspapers.

The ANC, our latest and best "NOT SO RACIST" ;) stand up comedians!
 
I also ask again because it is very relative (see post down)
