This is no different than the punch-a-nazi (aka anyone wearing a MAGA hat) BS in the US. Consequences sure to be more dire for this guy though.

We don't know if the altercation was about the cap. As with all videos of this type, the instigation though relevant are of little importance when driving a narrative.

Don't get me wrong, I agree 100%. I will be waiting to see what comes of it.

The roid bunny could lie or the pastor could lie about any preceding events off camera. But the fact that this guy had anti EFF hate posts on his social media means it's more likely he's just an angry idiot.

We should also acknowledge that EFF hate speach fuels anger.

People, I don't know what you think about all this. Surely something is very wrong with South Africa. One black man gets punched in the face by a white idiot and some racist forumite quickly opens a thread. A thread only ment to instigate racism and promote his wicked agenda. All that stretching over many days and hundreds of replies. In the meantime whites get brutally attacked by blacks. Not in public spaces but in their own house. In the middle of night. So much so that many whites are leaving South Africa yet this one punch generates more traffic than all the other incidents. What must I a outsider, understand about South Africa? Clearly, I am missing a or more points.

The OP started a thread like everyone who does. Most of the posts condemn conduct of the Mustang driver given info available. A bunch of people with chips on their shoulders also posted their opinions. What's your point?

Not worth replying to this one. Most here couldn't give a damn about either the savage or the victims skin colour, yet he still comes storming in with the race card.

While that may be true to some extend, it doesn't mean people should react with violence, especially at someone who might not be involved at day to day running of the organisation (if at all involved with the political party)

Thought I'd knock some sense into him.

I absolutely condemn the attack. But I find all this racially divisive and over the top. I think that if this incident was intra vs. inter racial, there would have been no where near such a huuuge discussion.

Never said it does!

All I'm pointing out is that hate fuels hate(from both sides).

What's there to argue then? Read the responses, bar a few with various agendas.

I did not see many argue cause and effect.

Also, Institutions which should deal with hate speach should do its work and stop walking on eggs just because the perpetrator is black.

Put up the videos of those attacks and there will be lots of comments. Anything with a video gets lots of comments.

Winner is a master dog whistler. He's lying about not knowing anything about SA or being a casual observer. My opinion is he's an ex SA from the old guard doing work in Africa. One of those angry expat types.

Oh, I know, he has given his insider knowledge away a few times.

As another "foreigner" here, let me tell you - for SA expats that are old guards, there is only one type - angry. Angry at all the privilege being taken away.
