I guess that Pride is a problem.Yes I clearly understand what both mean, you didn’t need to link me their explanations.
So please do explain how my statement amounted to racism for identifying the culture someone openly identifies themselves with?
I guess English isn’t your first language.
Smells like bullshit.
Yep your post where you called someone a racist. Think before you post. Some of us had enough of this BS.
Or even worse...being an Afrikaner?
It's amazing how the real racists become evident in threads like these, those racists that automatically despise Afrikaners and white people in general.
You are a racist. Sies.
sure, I can understand wariness of BTC, my point is putting your life savings in ZAR, or mostly in ZAR, can be as risky at the best of timesBTC does not make sense to me on any level hence my wariness of it.
Cool.
You said "I never knew Dawie Roodt was a complete right wing nutcase.
Now I'll disregard his opinions even more in future."
Then I said "I read the article. What in your opinion makes any of what he said right-wing? Care to quote?"
Then you said "The simple fact of associating/supporting/integrating himself with Orania"
The I said "So nothing to backup your claim other than hurt fee-fee's?
Cool, you do you."
Then you said "Much easier than I expected to sift out all the Afrikaner, Orania supporters in this thread." (Thereby "complimenting" all "Afrikaner" supporters of this "cause". You extracted into a grouping, and proceeded to trivialize and mock the grouping. Noice. QUALIFIER: Unless your defence is "no it was purely an academic observation"! In which I retract any and all accusations, patent pending)
Then I said "Wait, for realz? You make some numbskull ignorant comment, get called on it, and then you... play the race card?"
Then you said "Jesus Christ....now I sommer pulled the race card?
Where exactly is the race card? That all Afrikaners happen to be white?" (well, yeah, you generalized to ethnicity and proceeded to mock. Like, duhhhhhh.)
Then I said "Racism definition: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Racism
Afrikaner definition : https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Afrikaners
Can I clear up some confusion for you?"
Then you said "Yes I clearly understand what both mean, you didn’t need to link me their explanations.
So please do explain how my statement amounted to racism for identifying the culture someone openly identifies themselves with?
I guess English isn’t your first language."
And now I did. See, you didn't just identify it. You mocked it. And I for one have had enough of being mocked. If I were to do that to any other race, it's called "racism", Clicks mandjies become weapons and newspaper headlines trumpet the injustice. What's good for the goose should be good for the gander. Now play by the rules of racism-intolerance, Social Justice Warrioriness and Righteous Indignation For All. Or suffer the label.
Is that better?
So to clear up some confusion for you I am white and of blended but largely Afrikaans heritage.
As such you’ll note that I said Afrikaner COMMA Orania supporting grouping the two together as one.
Which makes for a grouping of white people, who are Afrikaans by culture, and specifically linked to Orania as a very localised grouping.
Not the entire white race or Afrikaner culture as a whole because then I would make no sense as I’m included in that.
So that very small group with ideals supporting Orania being my “targets” I very much despise and they are the bigger problems in this country bowing down to Verwoerd, segregating themselves and being open racists while claiming not to be.
They epitomise everything that is wrong with white people’s attitudes and superiority complexes in this country.
It’s simply an ideology I can’t support. Same way I can’t support that of the EFF or a few others.
Is that better?
Why not let them be? You seem to disprove of them, the Orania citizens and probably most Afrikaaners aswell at this stage just want a safe and prosperous environment, something the current government can't give them.Much easier than I expected to sift out all the Afrikaner, Orania supporters in this thread.

That would be fine if they weren’t excluding others (based on their skin colour) in the process of doing so.
Nothing well has ever come of that behaviour the entire world over throughout history.
Herein you claw at fallacies.
So I suspect if a black guy comes to your door you open it without question and give him a bed to lie in because discriminating would be wrong ?
The Orania property was bought by a small collective so if they wish to only have the place for people with purple skin then so be it. How does it affect your life other than judging from the sideline ?
If this is so unfair to other colours and creeds in South Africa, please tell me what is preventing them from doing the exact same thing with their own money or do they all feel that South Africa is perfectly great for them and they do not need a safe haven like this ?
I really hate the sugar coating judgemental attitude where it becomes immoral for someone or some group to decide the rules with the property they bought with their own money.
Also Orania is much more cultural than racial. I can guarantee you if some khoi san who speaks afrikaans and is christian and follows the similar traditional cultural attributes they would also be welcomed. This is where the dividing factors come in, the Khoi or more commonly Coloureds are more nested and connected with the Afrikaans culture than the black South Africans and this is where black South Africans would not be an easy fit for the Orania rules per say.
The only reason Orania have these rules and the only reason why they exist in the first place is because whether you want to be blindfolded to the facts or are willing to accept the reality in South Africa is up to you but WHITE AFRIKANERS in South Africa is a hated group by the majority so what you deem as racist exclusion for these people is done out of cultural survival and safety.
If South Africa and the rainbow nation was crack up to what so many pretend it is then Orania would never have existed in the first place and everyone would have sung kumbaja around one big fireplace.
Just take a few minutes and actually read on their website what they are about before you sling your next finger of poop.

Stood vir StoodI read "kriptiese" and my mind immediately goes to Noot vir Noot.
No because my door isn’t opened for others to come and live there, period.
But if I were to open my property for others to come live there and made that my business it should be open to all.
The same logic would apply to any colour.
Guarantee away, non-whites are not allowed there.
Maybe a Portuguese or Spanish oke who is deeply Afrikaans and married to a boere meisie slips through the crack.
Afrikaans speaking is not the same as being an Afrikaner and therefore a coloured person doesn’t quality.
Coloured folk don’t have Afrikaans culture, they speak Afrikaans. Two very different things.
And none of that changes anything about the fact that it’s a right wing haven.
There are many places you can sing Kumbaja around the fireplace and include everyone.
In fact how is your average security complex different from Orania except for letting everyone in who can afford to be there?
There is no need for the racial division. South Africa has a class problem, camouflaged as a racial one.
And of course as history has prove time and time again people always do exactly what they say.
Come on, pull the other one.
is it the sight of that yellow ford cortina that makes you all moist ?I adore this photo, like how eve thing is in my favorite language.
