Return of the White Men

[sox63]

Like the ANC?

Nope, like Hellen Zille herself said SO MANY times during campaigning, when asked whether the DA is party for white people. And that has been the repeated message since then.

And in the thread regarding Plato as mayor, I pointed out the truth will come out when her cabinet is announced.

Either way, do you think she delivered on what they were saying on racial diversity?

 

[Drake2007]

Zille did approach Cope to form a coalition but on condition that neither Boesak nor Ncedane would be offered ministerial positions

Very intersting, and fact is the DA manifesto will have no person in public office that has a criminal record, that's why Boesak and Ncedane had to go before any alliance would be possible with COPE.

Now watch COPE run into the power-hungry-ANC's open arms, after all they condone having corrupt criminals in their ranks.

WTF, seriously. The day Black people realise that everything in the world is not about them. Maybe and only maybe SA can move forward. I read this thread and then read the posts by Jungleboy and really start to think, do I really want to build forward on a nation like this ? Should I not maybe just take all my white friends, join the Boeremag and just drive them blacks to the shores to be shipped somewhere.

Daily I read posts about colour this, EBE than and everything else. I'm getting sick of it now. The black people of SA should realise that we're all South Africans move away from your I'm black so I'm great metality.

The World is not black, nor is anything else. Africa and only Africa is where you might feel like the cream of the crop. But you need a reality check, the World is moving forward and so should you. If you don't, keep on moving backwards, make enemies and die by your own creation.

You need a wake up call.

Seriously, things like this will make me racist I swear to you

...people in the DA should stop using black people as pawns.

the DA must show that it deserves black people's votes by appointing them to the legislature as well.
I mean c'mon, only two in the entire legislature sounds like a joke especially from the same party who was parading hordes of blacks on TV.

I don't really care about "racial diversity" or politics for that matter. Both of these will be the cause why SA won't be moving forward, and become the country it could be.

How about black people should show that they deserve a place in the legislature by working hard to get there?

 

[JungleBoy]

This thread is so "WTF" to me!

It is not about colour and why do people make it so? It's about PERFORMANCE AND EFFICIENCY!!!!!

South Africa will have this albatross around its neck forever and a day.

As long as the DA can remember that it's not about colour BEFORE the election

are you implying that because they are black they don't work hard enough?

 

[Nod]

are you implying that because they are black they don't work hard enough?

No, I'm saying that if they were the best candidates, they would be in the legislature. You know, getting a job based on merit

The reason for why there isn't more people of colour, might be anything, really. Only they and Zille will know.

LOL !



Fk off, your just spewing racist ****. I'm sick of your crap. If you feel so anti-White then go start a social group or something. I'm here to make SA work and get rid of stupid fools like you. You’re a damn disgrace to the SA community. Those Black people who voted for Zille are the true South Africans. And yes there where black DA votes.

But them being black has fk all to do with it. They voted for the person they know will make SA work. They don't vote for the ANC because their folks worked in the white man's garden back in the olden days. They are looking forward. You on the other hand vote for the ANC to oppress the white man.

And guess what ? We don't give a crap. You can’t even oppress a dried out turd. We have nothing to worry about.

Old proven fact, no man oppresses a black man like a black man

Who are you kidding ?

They are only used to hand outs. That is the African way.

how does the ANC oppress the white man...?

 

[Lycanthrope]

*nod* If they'd step away from their racial insecurities for one moment they'd also notice that only four women were chosen for the DA's legislature. I suppose that means the DA is sexist too?

If you look for problems, you'll find problems - it's called paranoia and it's pretty irrational.

 

[semiautomatix]

And only four of the DA’s 22 legislature members are women, compared with the 50% of the ANC’s representatives.

Yes, and one of the happens to be premier and leader of the Province.

 

[Pitbull]

how does the ANC oppress the white man...?

That's just the thing, you want too but can't.

Just like you fail to provide to the poor communties, just like you fail to keep dewllings clean instead of complaining about service delivery. That brings me back to hand outs again.

Look at Taxi drivers. They can't drive for **** but strike if a new bus system is implemented. Instead of keeping to the road rules then they wouldn't have been in this mess.

Back to hand outs again.

Seriously, you people need to catch a wake up. SA will never have a tube system as public transport because the Taxi tossers will strike.... shame we can't have that happen.

How thick headed must a person be to not see all of this happening around you daily ? SA is being held back because of people like YOU !

Really the hypocracy of this forum gets to me sometimes.

Pre-election, when the question of racial diversity was brought up, the ANC was slammed (rightly so), and the DA was pumped up becuase of racial diversity. The media subjected us to pics and videos of Zille surrounded by non-white "supporters" and she went on record as saying:

3.b) Are having leaders of Colour important in your party? Or is it purely merit-based?
The DA is the most non-racial party that South Africa has ever had. If you look at our leadership core we are the most non-racial leadership core of any party in South Africa today. We have a black chairperson - Joe Seremane. I happen to be a white female leader. We have people of colour who are our deputy chairpersons and who are in key positions in the party. Our leadership is the most non-racial, our membership is the most non-racial. Research by Lawrence Schlemmer shows that we are the most non-racial party South Africa has ever had. The ANC's leadership is completely uniracial. No one attacks them for their lack of diversity in their leadership and in fact the DA outshines them by far.

Why cant you just admit that the DA is just as bad as the ANC when it comes to racial diversity, and in spite of what was repeated ad nuaseam during campaigning, the DA remains the white male dominated party it has always been. Not even gender wise do they make an effort.

So dont jump on me, when as voter, I was told one thing and they went ahead and did something else. What if I had bought into it? I would have felt lied to. If they were not going to make an effort, WHY make a BIG song and dance about it?

So to the majority of this forum who feel, they will let that slide, what else will you allow for the DA to put much lower on priorities?

No, she delivered on competence; something the ANC seems to lack. Do you think they are worried that this "right (wo)man for the job" idea might undermine the ANC's racial prejudices if it actually produces a province that outperforms their eight?

 

[semiautomatix]

It's either the DA currently does not have deserving Black candidates, or they are being sidelined in favour of Whites? Which one is it.

When Helen Zille was campaigning, she alwys appeared on TV in a company of black ladies in blue T-shirts. Was that for the show?
Where are those hordes of Black people now?

...people in the DA should stop using black people as pawns.

Actually JungleBoy, for all you racial prejudices, 80% of DA supporters in the Western Cape are Coloured. I don't see you questioning where they are, or did you just conveniently forget they are also part of our society? You are such an Afriphile you miss the big picture.

 

[semiautomatix]

how does the ANC oppress the white man...?

BEE/AA, maybe you've heard of it? If you don't understand how that system is racially oppressive then you're no better than Dr H.F. Verwoerd.

WTF does competence have to with racial diversity?

At least they didn't mention specific numbers, so they told the truth, just not the specifics. They are doing something.

Lets look at the ANC NEC:

President: Jacob Zuma
Deputy President: Kgalema Motlanthe
National chairperson: Baleka Mbete
Secretary-General: Gwede Mantashe
Deputy Secretary-General: Thandi Modise
Treasurer-General: Mathews Phosa

Not very diverse, is it?
