‘The white liberal differs from the white conservative only in one way: the liberal is more deceitful than the conservative. The liberal is more hypocritical than the conservative. Politically the American Negro is nothing but a football and the white liberals control this mentally dead ball through tricks of tokenism....
The white conservatives aren’t friends of the Negro either, but they at least don’t try to hide it. They are like wolves; they show their teeth in a snarl that keeps the Negro always aware of where he stands with them. But the white liberals are foxes, who also show their teeth to the Negro but pretend that they are smiling. The white liberals are more dangerous than the conservatives; they lure the Negro, and as the Negro runs from the growling wolf, he flees into the open jaws of the “smiling” fox.’

Zuma endorses murder - Zille

President Jacob Zuma's refusal to distance himself from the song "kill the boers, they are rapists", suggested his endorsement of "the incitement to murder fellow South Africans", Democratic Alliance leader Helen Zille said on Friday.
ANC Youth League president Julius Malema has faced widespread criticism for singing the song at his birthday celebration in Polokwane last week and at a student gathering in Johannesburg on Tuesday.
In her weekly newsletter, Zille said she had written to Zuma, pointing out that hate speech was unconstitutional and asking him what he intended to do about it.
"I have said that his prevarication on Julius Malema suggests that he and the ANC endorse incitement to murder fellow South Africans," Zille wrote.
On Friday Zuma refused to criticise Malema for singing the song. "I haven't said that he is right but I've said he has a right to raise issues," Zuma said.
"If we stop Malema you would say that apartheid has come back."
Zille said Zuma was facilitating "the new apartheid" by giving Malema free rein.
Her lawyers had written to Malema requiring him to withdraw his "latest hate-speech" by March 17, to apologise for it and to undertake not to use hate-speech again.
"If he fails to do so we will interdict him in the Equality Court," Zille said.
Nelson Mandela, shortly after he was released from prison, by F.W de Klerk, sings a struggle song about “Killing Whites”; and prior to receiving a Nobel Peace Prize award for his alleged commitment to “reconciliation” with whites. |
She had high praise for former president Nelson Mandela, who stood for ethics and courage and who publicly rebuked former ANC Youth League leader Peter Mokaba for singing "kill the boer, kill the farmer".
"The ANC today makes us appreciate all the more the quality of Nelson Mandela's leadership, which stands as a beacon of ethics and courage.
"In 1993, when the firebrand former ANC Youth League Leader Peter Mokaba sang "kill the boer, kill the farmer" the ANC National Executive Committee, under Mandela's leadership, publicly rebuked him saying that the slogan undermined the policy of promoting racial reconciliation." - Sapa

Fear, anger at Malema song

Cape Town - The country's youth organisations have joined the AfriForum's youth in condemning the singing of an old struggle song about "killing boers" by ANC Youth League (ANCYL) president Julius Malema.
The AfriForum Youth offices have been inundated with calls and e-mails from "frightened" and "angry" people since Malema was reported to have sung the song on different occasions recently.
"Many people are scared," AfrForum Youth national chairperson Ernst Roets told News24.
"One call we received yesterday, for example, was from a young lady who was crying. She said her parents, who were farmers, had been murdered recently and that she was next.
"Other people want to take matters into their own hands but we have been trying to calm them down," said Roets.
'Sensational'
The civil rights group youth leader said by taking Malema to court they were trying to prevent the song from being sung and also demonstrate how serious the matter was.
But ANCYL spokesperson Floyd Shivambu said it was not a "major issue" and that the AfriForum youth were being "stupid" and "sensational".
"Songs are sung in SA. The President (Jacob Zuma) sings about a machine gun. Have you ever seen anyone bring him a machine gun?"
He said they would find "a platform to educate" the AfriForum as their misinterpretation of the song was "sad".
Congress of the People youth spokesperson Sipho Nghona said it was unfortunate that Malema, who is notorious for his racial outbursts, would sing such as song when most South Africans were trying to move forward constructively.
"It demoralises them (white people). All their positive contributions and efforts go unnoticed.
Spirit of reconciliation
Nelson Mandela, shortly after he was released from prison, by F.W de Klerk, sings a struggle song about “Killing Whites”; and prior to receiving a Nobel Peace Prize award for his alleged commitment to “reconciliation” with whites. |
"It makes the situation hopeless. Back in the 90s there was a spirit of reconciliation and now, and this is from observation, people are starting to ask questions," said Nghona.
He said Malema's utterances, apart from giving the country a bad image, also encouraged a culture of violence amongst young South Africans, citing the rioting by school children outside the Protea Magistrate's Court where the case of hip-hop artist Molemo "Jub Jub" Maarohanye was being heard as an example.
"Those children were threatening to kill him (Maarohanye) themselves if the court did not make a decision that they wanted," he said.
DA Youth's Khume Ramulifho encouraged young people not to follow the ANCYL's example.
"Let's rally around the idea of equal opportunity, do our best in our communities and work towards building one nation," he said.
It was characteristic of Malema to sing the "divisive" song, Ramulifho said, but added that he should be ignored.
