On race and sex and unexamined assumptions
“In our future you wouldn’t look twice” is the DASO’s slogan on these posters. The very fact that they have sparked such controversial debate and attack is indication that we, as a people and nation, are still so naive and immature in our views.
I look forward to this future whereby race, nudity and sex are free of unnatural prejudices and we focus on more important matters of our existence.
This blog deals with political and social issues in South Africa, mostly from the perspective of Constitutional Law. Written by Pierre de Vos.
You Lazy (Intellectual) African Scum!
They call the Third World the lazy man’s purview; the sluggishly slothful and languorous prefecture. In this realm people are sleepy, dreamy, torpid, lethargic, and therefore indigent—totally penniless, needy, destitute, poverty-stricken, disfavored, and impoverished. In this demesne, as they call it, there are hardly any discoveries, inventions, and innovations. Africa is the trailblazer. Some still call it “the dark continent” for the light that flickers under the tunnel is not that of hope, but an approaching train. And because countless keep waiting in the way of the train, millions die and many more remain decapitated by the day.
Overheard
Julius Malema apparently stated: “I want the people of South Africa to treat me the same way they treated Nelson Mandela.”
Evita Bezuidenhout responded with: “What a great idea. Let’s start with the 27 years in jail … . . “
That’s not Obama. My kind of funny.
Nando’s message for the Dalai Lama after the South African government’s umming and ahhing over granting him a visa led him to cancel his trip all together.
I had to stop using Sunday Times front pages with pictures of Malema on the floor of my chicken coop. The hens have stopped laying.
Attempted assassination on Malema includes Rubik's Cube and logic games
Just hours after Julius Malema announced that R2-million had been offered for his assassination, the ANC Youth League confirmed that a package containing a Rubik’s Cube and several other logic games had been intercepted en route to Malema’s office. “This racist Rubik, he is trying to make Julius’s head explode,” said a spokesman.
Malema’s latest claim – that a Delmas farmer was offering R2-million to anyone who could kill him – is being widely considered his most transparent lie to date.
Asked whether the ANC would investigate the claim, track down the source of the rumour and prosecute those responsible, a party spokesman giggled girlishly and said, “As if!”
“Why go to all that trouble when we can milk Wit Gevaar right up to the ANC elections in 2012?”
However, this morning the ANCYL confirmed that it had intercepted a package en route to Malema’s office containing items potentially lethal to its president.
“A bomb disposal team found a cube, designed by a counterrevolutionary racist called Rubik, which is all about separating the different colours into their respective Bantustans,” explained ANCYL spokesman Panado Mpande.
“There was also a game called chess, where blacks and whites battle on a racist level playing field without any revolutionary structures in place like BEE or affirmative action or tenders or arms procurement committees or FIFA or any of the stuff that makes life worth living.”
Zapiro does it again: It’s just a metaphor!
