My apologies for being rude. You are entitled to your
I do however have a few last questions for you:
1. Do you deny that white people are being segregated and discriminated against?
Yes I do . Majority of white south africa live in suburbs and are better off then majority of black south Africans (I have travelled to every province and have been to many dorpies the racial segregation of the past is more evident then the modern segregation you refer to) of which I do not see .
2. Do you deny that white people are being murdered because of the color of their skin?
Conspiracy theory murder is rife across all races across the country
3. Do you deny that certain politicians are behind the murder and segregation of white people?
Provide evidence to substantiate this claim
4. If your answer yes to either of these questions then please explain to me how it is any different to apartheid?
Sorry but non of the above mentioned is valid or arguable
I would really like to get your opinion on these questions.
I do differ with your opinion that I am unlearned in the history of South Africa. I have spent a lot of time doing research of our history and what people believe to be true is quite different to the truth. Unfortunately the ANC and unfortunately some white people (I am white myself), admittedly, do tend to spread untruths from time to time. Many occurrences that happened during apartheid should not have happened but unfortunately you are way off par with connecting apartheid to genocide. Apartheid never ordered the mass killing of black people. And I do not agree with apartheid at all but facts are facts. What did occur was instances such as the prison riots and if one were to study it closely you would become aware that the whole instance was a result of one trigger happy youngster who fired his gun out of fear. Furthermore many activists were killed during apartheid and were sentenced to prison which was not right but it was never genocide. Do you know that many of these activists also ordered the planting of bombs that killed innocent people during apartheid? Edit: The genocide that did occur was mostly caused by the IFP and ANC (perhaps you need some schooling in history). Please read this link and see that I am not denying that a lot of black people were killed unjustly by white people but more were killed among political differences in the townships itself.

Apartheid buried the murders and numerous atrocities committed
When peaceful protest fails . War prevails
And the IFP fought BECAUSE they felt they just wanted to work and remain suppressed as long as they get paid and they can provide for there families. The ANC refuted this ideology hense the fighting a direct result of apartheid.
I do however connect with the pain that the black people have suffered under apartheid. It was wrong and I can only begin to understand what it must have felt like. Unfortunately I must agree that I do not have first hand experience and therefore I dearly sympathies with the people who experienced apartheid and its gruesomeness first hand.
Why is it so hard to accept that the past has consequences that relate to the present. You are dealing with first generation descendents of those who suffered during apartheid and the rhetoric is already suck it up and move on . No . I won't accept that
I am thankful that you feel I am your brother as I also feel that you are my brother. I grew up in this country and so have you and we all live in its current circumstances. I would also join you in any constructive circumstance without hesitation.
Appreciated.
I beg you to reconsider your stance and open your eyes to what is going on. Undoubtedly you must have experienced oppression and racism at some stage in your life and therefore I appeal to your better judgement and ask you to sympathize with others who are experiencing the same oppression and racism now.
I do and if all in this discussion would like to start a group debating and discussing constructive ways to move forward with intent on escalating any ideas that may arise from said group I would gladly be on-board
Let us stand together against the true evil that haunts this country of ours? Unjust politicians and their actions. Let us not defend their actions and justify it for them. Let us create awareness and beg them to answer for their actions? Let us demand what was promised to all of us. Let us work together to create better communities. Let us work together to suss out those who inspire segregation and racism and destroy them. It is not tied to race, to culture or to religion but to individuals and we need to make it clear that such behavior is wrong and must be accounted for regardless of the color of your skin, religion or beliefs. I believe this much can be achieved as much as Mandela believed it.
Couldn't have said it better myself ... we have entered a new era and I am very optimistic regarding south Africa's future as long as we stand together
