Waters criticised for 'racist' tweet

[sox63]

Pretty stupid to post that if you are in politics .

Nothing will happen to him IMO. Pretty telling that a senior MP in the DA would see no issue in posting that though. And also funny that they are trying to get the votes of those "dogs"

Please let's take a step back and ignore the stupid comments by the ANC and tell me what is wrong with the poster?

I have heard many ANC officials take derogatory swipes at Zille. That is, in my opinion, effectively what the poster is doing to Zuma. What's good for the goose is good for the gander.

The fact that the ANC has once again tried to turn it into a race issue says plenty about them! There is no rule saying that a white cannot vote ANC. So why is the poster an insult to blacks? Are they admitting that the ANC is a party for black people only? Does such a party have a place in SA? The irony is that they are always at pains to try and show the DA as a party for whites only!

I read it as the DA voters are dogs surely ANC voters wouldn't p1ss on JZ?

Thinking about it I agree with you. Anc kneejerk reaction fail.

Where did I say it was racist? If anything I agreed with Korn's post that it was stupid. You can not liken voters to dogs and think it wont come back to bite you (pun intended).

 

[Seriously]

Mike Water's can fckoff

Bwahahahahahaha. WHAT A LAUGH.THAT WAS TE BEST PICTURE EVER DO YOU NOT AGREE?

There was white dogs in the queue and the one pissing is doing a good and deserved job. Please tell the families that lost their babies in Bloemhof how much their Zuma cares for them as he used the funds that could have sanitised their water for his own water works, millions worth of it so again Zuma and his ANC deserves to be pissed upon. I wish I was in that queue with the dogs as as I would have left my mark too.

The entire point of the poster would be lost if it weren't dogs. What other animal lifts it's leg all over the place and pees on things.

And as mentioned elsewhere, it'd be DA supporters pissing on Zuma. I'm a DA supporter, I don't feel in the slightest bit insulted by being likened to a dog pissing on him!

This isn't about a derogatory swipe at Zuma though, it's a derogatory swipe at SA voters - you know, the citizens of the country Mike wants to represent...

 

[Seriously]

I doubt he even knows I exist

I DOUBT THAT YOU EXIST!

Read my comment above yours. I don't feel in the slightest bit insulted.

A die hard Zuma supporter and ANC apologist might but they're never going to vote any other way anyway so who cares if they feel insulted.

 

[Seriously]

All in your and the ANC's "mind"?

I think you actually nailed it. It's not saying the ANC voters are dogs.... it's calling on people who don't want to vote for Zuma to pee on him and "make their mark".

Sounds like you have come to the conclusion its intended to be people pissing on Zuma. Why the addition of "Voting day" and "Make your mark"?

 

[Devill]

On Monday, Waters posted a picture on social network Twitter showing a pack of dogs lining up towards a tree, underneath which was a picture of President Jacob Zuma.

Kodwa said Waters likened people who voted for the ANC to dogs.

How the fsck did he get that from this:

Cos dogs pee to" mark" their territory.

This!

 

[sox63]

Cos dogs pee to" mark" their territory.

And that mark on voting day cant reasonably be construed as voting?

 

[supersunbird]

Wait wait wait!

My interpretation of the picture is that voters should go "mark" (as in piss on) the ANC. Nothing to do with ANC voters being dogs...

 

[Sinbad]

What point are you trying to make? There is nothing racist about this poster. Criticism of the anc or Zuma is not automatically racist, no matter what the drones may wish.

If you interpret peeing on Zuma as voting for him then you have some serious issues.

Either way, the more it is discussed here the more clever it is shown to be.

But not surprising that the duality of interpretation would go right over the ANC's head and have them whipping out the race card.

Dude, stop pulling the race card, I did not say racist in any point in this thread! Can it or not be construed as voters standing in line on voting day to make a mark to vote? Simple question...
