Terreblanche Death: No Loss To Decency.

[OrcadianOil]

Eugene Terreblanche, extreme right wing "white supremacist" murdered at his farm in South Africa.
Only Ku Klux Klan and BNP types surely would mourn his passing?
The world's well rid of yet another tyrant - are we not?

its practically the same wherever they go, some things never change

Now if I want to mourn the passing of someone this weekend, THIS is a genuinely sad:

No crocodile tears from me on this one.

A real class act.

Yet still no condemnation against the killers then?

/// Playing the race card again?///

How can one not play the race card, when it is in fact a race issue?

/// By the way, his age is irrelevant, surely? ///

I disagree, perhaps the cowards would have been less likely to attack a younger more agile man.

Are you upset over his death?

Do I condemn the killers? Yes. The fact is - he was murdered, and murder is murder and never to be celebrated.

What I'm pleased about is that the world has one white supremacist fewer than it did last week.

I would feel exactly the same about Mugabe, who's in training to be the new Hitler.

Bored with bigots.

/// It is a tragic fact that more than 3,000 white farmers have been murdered since the end of apartheid in 1994. And it is possible that some people may seek retribution.///

Not sure what your point is...

But anyway - the murder, whilst to us is just another news story, may actually be a tradegy to those South Africahs working towards a better relationship between races. It's history suggests that this will be a very difficult process.

I wish them all the best.

Enjoy the rest of your Sunday.

Got a dinner party to start organising, so can't comment further.

It may be a hard fact to swallow, but is it not correct to say that most Whites are supreme to most Blacks in South Africa, and large parts of the African continent also?

They may not be supreme as human beings, but in organisation, achievement, discipline, inventiveness, and life style.

This is not racist but fact.

and given half a chance theyd wreck this country, in fact they already are in places.

they need everything handed to them on a plate, same wherever they are

1) Bazwillrun - interesting point. I wish you happiness.

2) AOG - your in-depth knowledge of an entire continent's economic and social prosperity leaves me astounded.

3) I've gone back online to check a Jamie Oliver roast lamb recipe.



Only one of those three statements is factual.

///They may not be supreme as human beings, but in organisation, achievement, discipline, inventiveness, and life style. ///

So what???

I strongly suspect my personal achievements, inventiveness and life style are more 'supreme' than yours.

So what?

What satisfaction do you derive from constantly trying to belittle and berate others rather than respecting their right to be?

Is it an attempt to bolster your own self esteem at the end of an inconsequential and under-achieving life?

from Wikipedia:

On June 17, 2001, Terre'Blanche was sentenced to six years in prison, of which he served three years, for assaulting a petrol station worker and the attempted murder of a security guard in 1996.

Paul Motshabi was permanently disabled when he was beaten up by Terre'Blanche in 1996. He got crippled and intellectually impaired by brain damage sustained in the attack and was left by his wife. He was one of 16 victims of violence in the North West of South Africa who received new houses as part of the national government's campaign to mark sixteen days of activism against violence against women and children.

[sp1814]

Perhaps looking back at his odious existance, being hacked to death was justified?

I'm not condoning murder, but if you live by violence, and you come to a violent end - you COULD argue a case for cosmic karma?

Tell me - exactly why do you feel such sorrow over his death?

craft,
No I don't believe in Hell,but I am sure this Nazi DID, so I am sure that is where he is!

[Bobbisox]

evening Mr V and all, if there is a hell I would like to think of Eugene Terreblanche, Saddam Hussein, Hitler, Pol Pot, Chauchescu and more like them rotting and screaming in the same pain as they have inflicted on innocent people, with Robert Magabe thrown in...alive !
