Best Country in the world!
Two students put up a racist page on Facebook, with a staged photo of an armed white man standing over the body of a black boy. What do you think of this, why is this type of behaviour resurfacing?

Management at the University of the North West says it’s appalled by an offensive and racist Facebook group being run by two of its students, Radio 702 reports.

The group called "Ek laaik nie ’n houtkop nie, so what" contains inflammatory comments posted by members and an alarming photograph of a young white man holding a gun while posing over the trophy of a young black boy.

The group currently has 48 members, all white and mostly Afrikaans.

Under the description label, the administrators of the group use the k word saying it’s been set up for all those who think black people are destroying the country and must ’gaan ***’.

While the messages posted by members agree that all black people should die, it is a photograph on the page that is most alarming.

North West University’s Potchefstroom Rector Annette Combrink says she’s deeply shocked by the posting.

She says management will take the matter up with the students immediately.

Just give Malema more ammo for his AK, inbreed idiots :rolleyes:
 
Freedom of speech/expression?

We allow the fighting of racism with racism in any form imaginable in this country, so why not? Hypocrisy runs rampant.
 
This is truly a disgrace. I agree that there are double standards in SA but this is way overboard.

Lucanthrope, this is not freedom of speech.
 
Malema in the one corner

Students pissed off at the racist ANC in another...l now that is a show I will pay money to see :D

Guys, the white Afrikaans kids are a very very angry group of people. I fail to see how this suprises anyone :confused:

I don't see it that way. My original post was sarcastic, but I do believe that people have the right to voice their opinions and believe whatever they choose to believe, even if that goes against what people think they should.

Regardless, so far it just seems like ridiculous banter and puffing up of chests. Unless they're actively inciting attacks on black people.

Which is no different to, "Kill for Zuma" or any other similar bull.

No, I don't like it and I find it an immature and ridiculous way to deal with difficult situations, but in the end, they have the right to believe whatever bull they want to.

Freedom of speech is exactly that - people have the right to voice their opinions without being subject to the bias of others. You don't have to like it to understand that Freedom of Speech is a matter of allowing people to be people.

I think it's been said before... The start to healing this country will be when everyone finally "admits" to being racist, accepts that they have a problem, and deal with it together. Fighting racism with racism is still racism - BEE/AA.
 
Always the 'few' causing issues... Stupid idiots!

Keep your old school, stupid ass ideas to yourself man!

"If you don't have something nice to say, don't say it."

:D
 
Don't forget the "Kill all Boere" group on facebook, but for some reason that group does not make the news :rolleyes:

I reported that group as well a while back. Is it still there?

That particular group seemed to me to be the work of one troll, whereas this is a group of people.
