AWB members and supporters of Eugene Terre'Blanche waited around the church dressed in khaki and army fatiges. Many said they were just there to pay their respects to Terre'Blanche but others seemed convinced that the AWB will today declare war against the ANC and Malema.

lol how can you say that, thats just childish.... yes i understand that the blacks went through a though time, but does that mean that the whites that were not involved in it must suffer? Im all for giving blacks power and giving them education so they can catch up, and even giving them land so they can start farms and so on.
Dont you think that its just going to become a circle till one group decided to grow up and rather put SA as a country 1st rather than trying to get payback for what happened in the past

Getting Justice will just create a circle and the next generation will then want to get the blacks back for getting justice on the whites, and so on and on and on.

I understand if black people are pissed off, but the South African whites acting as victims is disgusting the least..
The blacks in South Africa had suffered directly due to the silence of the White minority whose leaders continued the injustice.
Now it is your turn, until the next generation grows up, the whites in SA must suffer the same way black people suffered. Under the silence of black communities..
What goes around comes around.

Thing is, that the death of Eugene Terre'Blanche has nothing to do with the past. He was a white supremacist in THIS decade, not years ago.He wasnt some spectre from the past, he was a threat and a destabiliser in THIS time.
He wanted to return to a time where he could kill , rape, and humiliate black people . He wanted a return to a time when he and others like himself could own everything they saw even those areas which might once have been territories inhabited by native peoples.
He wanted back the power that he saw his ancestors had over persons he considered to be less than human. He saw black folks as being an underclass, less than muck on his shoes. His supporters believe the same, and that is unacceptable.
Of course it is JUST as unacceptable when black folks, muslims, jews, and others display xenophobic thought. I think however that if the AWB go looking for a fight over this, they are going to get gutted, and left to die in the street. Personaly since I am vehmently opposed to white supremacy of every stripe, I cant wait to see the news report.. think it will go like this "Bunch of idiot xenophobes go to war, get turned to mush".

This kind of irresponsible logic is what leads to race wars and oppression by one group over the other. You CANNOT fight racism with racism.
