Students question #RhodesMustFall

[Vox Populi Vox Dei]

The burning of paintings and the racist exclusion of students from a dining hall at the University of Cape Town has started to rattle the legitimacy of the #RhodesMustFall campaign.

Some students in residences affected by the destructive protests this week said they wanted to get on with their studies. They said they had withdrawn their support for the #RhodesMustFall campaign and feared for their lives. They were too afraid to let City Press identify them.

Students said that members of the #RhodesMustFall movement took over the food service in Fuller Hall’s dining room.

They barred white, coloured and Indian students from entering the hall, and served black students only.

The meal was chicken, rice and cauliflower with gravy. After that, they removed paintings from the dining room’s walls and set them alight in the parking lot.

Ivy-covered Fuller Hall houses 229 women students and shares a dining room with nearby Smuts Hall, where 230 male students live.

City Press spoke to a male resident of Smuts Hall and a female resident of Fuller Hall. They were both allowed to eat on Tuesday night, but they asked not to be named for fear of intimidation.

..... and suddenly .... despite being bright young people .... they realised that they had been misled.... the penny dropped .... the truth became apparent .... and, in their ravenous hunger realised they are a bunch of idiots to have even began to support the thugs masquerading as advocates of democracy.

In that very moment they learnt the difference between intelligence and wisdom .... they were lacking on the latter ......

Well, the '****/kill white people' shirts should have 'started to rattle the legitimacy' for these students a while back. I guess rather late than never.

But of course.

Sad thing is that they are scared to have an opposing view.
These idiots are terrorizing students and staff. They should be locked up for that.

But of course.

Kentucky Fried? ...

So just like what has happened in other African countries in recent history an element of black Africans turns on everyone else and shows their racist xenophobia.

The fees must fall objective has been reached. This is just a bunch of attention hungry racists that high jacked the cause. They should be dealt with.

Funny how this works now, all a sudden the true colors comes out and the rest of the black people in sunny RSA cant say they cant be racist anymore, because a small bunch just debunked that theory in one instance.

So it took a small bunch of youth of today to drive a bigger wedge between the nations citizens as opposes to what we were all trying to build, as this will have a ripple effect in the future.

What did they think would happen, they would finish the protests, hold hands and sing kum ba yah and forever live in harmony.

So young, so much to learn
