Hello Proud African, so you want to trade words with me and show your "education" with words like conceptualise, do you? Democracy is a new word in Africa, friend, and it doesn't mean what the Americans say it means when applied here. It means, in African Terms, "we are in charge now" and is normally the forerunner to undemocratic rule of the highest order.

You might not have noticed that despite the fact that the ANC won a majority in the past elections, they lost a considerable number of votes in the process, many of them black votes. This is just the beginning!! As for asking th "President" of the ANCYL for advice, I wouldn't walk across the street to piss on him if he was on fire!

You're wrong in your assumption that I hate Black people. There is absolutely no hatred in my heart for Black people. I actually love the majority of the Black people that I see every day, trying desperately to stay alive in the shacks they are forced to live in by the people that they put in power, who have had one long and expensive party at their expense, since 1994.

What I DO hate is CORRUPTION, and ARROGANCE, much of both of which is carried on daily by the so called "Leaders" of the ANC, and the ANCYL. I hate unfairness, as is perpetrated against anyone who disagrees with what the ANC Youth "Leaders" are saying, and I hate stupidity when it comes to blind, and unjustified support of people like Malema the idiot, who SHOULD be preaching peace and harmony, but aren't doing so, and instead are preaching hatred and ugliness.

Don't talk to me about hatred. There is no hate for black people in me, only deep disappointment that when we gave you the ball to run with, you not only dropped it, but you blamed everyone else for the fact that you have been unable to play it!

The rest of us South Africans, white, coloured and Indian, are now having to live in fear of their black brothers, because some of them are intent on taking what we have, and in many instances, killing the people that they steal from. Racism is rife in SA today, but its now being perpetrated by the Black people on everyone else, include those blacks from the "wrong" tribe.

I have accepted that our leaders are here to stay, because they are in the majority, not because they are better than us, and accept them as my leaders too, but every day brings fresh disappointment at the way that many of them squander the resources that have been placed in their hands. I wonder, Proud African, whether, if there was another election in 5 years time, and the people voted against the ANC, whether you and Malema and Floyd and all of the others who sprout the word "DEMOCRACY" so readily, would accept being voted out by the very people that voted you in? Think about that friend, because it is coming more rapidly than you can imagine. "Outata" sends you his love and affection. At least the word is one of respect for my age. Whether you meant it as such is debateable.
