Dealing with White and Black Racism in South Africa – Double Standards?

It is my personal opinion that dealing with white racism/hate speech and dealing with black racism/hate speech in South Africa is not on par and that there are actually double standards in dealing with white racists and black racists. 

Racism and hate speech have no place in South Africa, and whether you are a white, black, yellow, or pink racist, the full velocity of the law must hit you square in the eyes!

But, on 9 June 2017 AfriForum indirectly highlighted this issue of double standards when dealing with anti-white racism and anti-white speech in South Africa – read it here: Maroela Media

In summary, AfriForum laid charges against anti-white racists at the SA Human Rights Commission and the SA Police Service – and “Urlings (Veldtogbeampte by AfriForum) het gesȇ sou die polisie- en SAMRK-klagtes geen oplossing oplewer nie, AfriForum ook die moontlikheid sal oorweeg om siviele ligitasie in te stel teen die persone wat vir die gevoellose plasings verantwoordelik is”.

In view of the above-mentioned, here are just 2 case studies to emphasise my opinion that we have double standards in South Africa:

Case #1: Dealing with anti-white racist Zama Khumalo

‘SAHRC FACILITATES, WELCOMES PUBLIC APOLOGY BY FACEBOOK "RACIST", KHUMALO.

The South African Human Rights Commission facilitated and welcomed the public apology and withdrawal of all hurtful racial statements posted on social media by the young unemployed journalist Zama Khumalo (see Times report).

On 24 January 2013, Khumalo posted a comment on his Facebook page relating to a school bus accident, which took place in the Westedene area of Johannesburg during 1985 where a number of school children tragically lost their lives.

In response to statements made by two different individuals with access to the Khumalo's Facebook page, he made the following additional statement:

"On 27 March 2013, I will send out an invite to invite you to come to the Westedene Dam for a BIG Black Braai, (100% Blacks), fireworks, DJ - Black-People, celebrating their death.. and "we will always celebrate the death of whiteness".

The Commission received thirteen complaints against Khumalo from 6th to 14th February 2013, for these comments made.

The Commission today headed a mediation session between Khumalo and some of the complainants following his racist remarks.

The meeting was attended by the legal representative of Media 24 Limited who are also the complainants in this matter, representatives from the Commission, including its CEO, and the respondent, Mr Khumalo.

The Commission explained the nature of the meeting to Khumalo and the other attendees and the mandate of the Commission in terms of its constitutional obligations.

Khumalo was guided through the form and nature of mediatory proceedings. He was advised that the meeting was not intended to be an adversarial hearing with the objective of determining or apportioning blame, but was instead aimed at reaching a consensus in line with principles of reconciliation, directed at understanding motives, perception, nation building and interests.

Khumalo was provided an opportunity to, among others, provide a background of the events which led up to the posting of his comments on Facebook, his personal experiences including the public response which it had elicited, to express his feelings of remorse and regret towards those affected.

This was with the aim to permit a process which encouraged constructive, responsible forward growth and understanding; to convey and confirm the relief sought by complainants; and to reach agreement regarding the terms to be included in a settlement agreement, finalised by the respective parties and made public through the Commission.

Khumalo expressed acute feelings of remorse and regret about the hurt caused to those affected, to Media 24 Limited and the general public.

In his words Khumalo said:

"I (Zama Khumalo) hereby tender my summary and unequivocal apology to the general public of South Africa, the Commission, each of the complainants and the individuals who were either directly or indirectly affected by the tragic Westedene bus accident including those families who lost loved ones. I acknowledge the hurt and pain that I have caused as a result of the comments made on Facebook, which were made in a state of anger and disappointment. I therefore truly and genuinely apologise for making such statements and I accept the terms of the agreement as more fully set out herein and also undertake from this date onwards to refrain from, by word and / or by deed, conducting myself in a manner associated with hate and hurtful speech or racism such as that contained in my previous comments."

This statement was reciprocated by a statement from one of the complainants [Media 24] accepting the statement, events and sincerity of the apology.

On this basis agreement was reached regarding each term of the settlement process as encompassed in this agreement.

A slap on the wrist I would say!

Case #2: Anti-black racist Penny Sparrow

Firstly, she was criminally charged and convicted:

‘Penny Sparrow fined R5 000 for racist rant

Crime & Courts | 12 September 2016, 3:15pm

Giordano Stolley

Durban - Former KwaZulu-Natal estate agent Penny Sparrow was convicted in the Scottburgh Magistrate’s Court on Monday of crimen injuria in relation to racist comments that she made at the start of the year comparing black people to monkeys.

Former estate agent Penny Sparrow has been convicted of crimen injuria.

Magistrate Vincent Hlatshway handed Sparrow a R5 000 fine, or or 12 months imprisonment.

National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) spokeswoman Natasha Ramkisson-Kara said that Sparrow was sentenced to an additional two years, which was wholly suspended for five years, during which time she must not be convicted of crimen injuria.

She was also ordered to make a public apology for her remarks over the social media platform Facebook – the very platform over which she vented her rage against black South Africans, referring to them as “monkeys”, who if allowed loose on the country’s beaches, would cause “huge dirt and troubles and discomfort to others”.

Sparrow was convicted on her own guilty plea.

The charge against Sparrow was brought by Democratic Alliance member and Black Like Me founder Herman Mashaba.’

Secondly, she was also charged in the Equality Court and fined:

In June 2016, Equality Court Magistrate Irfaan Khalil ruled that Sparrow had to pay R150 000 to the Oliver and Adelaide Tambo Trust to atone for her posting.

In that case Sparrow was also ordered to pay the legal fees of the African National Congress, who brought the matter before the Equality Court. Sparrow did not appear in court for that case, but has appeared on all occasions in connection with the crimen injuria charge.

Compared to Khumalo, I would say she received punishment just short of the death penalty!

There we are, my plea is that racism and hate speech should not be tolerated but then, whether you are a white, black, yellow or pink racist, deal with them equally!

The Sequel: Penny Sparrow is not a Racist

Author's note: Read the first post on the Penny Sparrow saga also on this blog.
The Americans are experts on the "conspiracy theory" but South Africa is not far behind them. They like to find conspiracies against the blacks behind each and every stone and then want to nurture it and rename it to "white racism."
But it takes two to tango so here is my conspiracy theory regarding the Penny Sparrow Racism Circus.
2016 is earmarked for Municipal Elections and many people believed it would be scheduled for the 1st quarter of 2016 but then Zuma Must Fall made the balls-up with Nene and Van Rooyen so it will now be later.
However, the ANC and DA both decided to play the race card as an election gimmick and here entered Penny.
Penny is a true supporter of the DA due to its roots with the liberal whites of yesteryears and the DA asked her to wrote something racist so that they can make a racial issue/circus of it.
And there came her FB post comparing the innocent, disciplined and behaving blacks who visited the South Coasts beaches over the festive seaon with monkeys!
And the DA was ready to make the mother of all racist issues to gain the confidence of the black voters and they liked it.
And Penny? She is devoted to the DA and she sacificed her good name for a good cause!
PS: Remember this is a conspiracy theory based on my opinion of what really happened: Nigel Olifaunt - Guest Writer

Penny Sparrow is not a Racist Thanks to ANCYL

When Penny Sparrow compared blacks with monkeys in January this year  the ANC and DA as well as the liberal media jumped on their high horses on a chase to be the first to to procecute her as a racist, found her guilty and hanged her in public.
The EFF and ANCYL held marches and demonstrations till Kingdom Come to show how bad Penny and all whites are.
But hold your horses all the idiots went for the over-kill of Penny. She is no racist! And everyone who went on the Gestapo-hunt of Penny should apologise in public: SHE IS NO RACIST!!!!
During the weekend of 6/7 February the big racist Collen Maine, President of the ANCYL compared the the followers of the EFF with monkeys during a rally in Soshanguve:
"The country will be defended. We cannot allow Julius Malema and his monkeys to run our country amok and turn this country into a banana republic," Maine reportedly said, according to the SABC.
But nobody climbed on their high horses to condemn Maine as racist.
The pathetic ANC said no need for steps. It was not racist. It was just offensive.
That is why I say Penny is no more a racist than Maine and the country owes her an apolgy and especially from Zuma and Maimane and the liberal media.
PENNY SPARROW, YOU ARE NOT A RACIST!!!
GO, YOU GOOD GIRL GO!!!!

Black Racism in South Africa

AFTER 20 years of so-called “democracy“-South Africa turned out to be the most racist stronghold  in the world for all blacks that have a natural deep rooted hatred against whites- it seems.
As we have seen- the South African local news was not dominated– but factually OBLITERATED by articles of “white racism” this past month-or so. Since the communist ANC dregs of society took “control” of the country after De Klerk and his NP stray dogs were handsomely paid by the Jewish Oppenheimer/Kissinger clans- the war against “Boers” (read whites)–  were launched . Mandela, Mbeki, the international world – and all the world governments heard and saw this- yet choose to keep a “diplomatic” silence and “ look the other way.”
Whites across the European and American world that COULD have made a difference-or at least offer some assistance to whites in South Africa- were also so marinated in the “Free Mandela” and “Apartheid” brain-washed misconceptious culture propagated by the Zionist media– they also decided that the “Boers” can now sort out their own dilemma and sunk back into their own little worlds of false ” democracy.”
The next to take up the war against whites in South Africa- was the local NASPERS media skunk works- and whites were viciously attacked in the media as “racists, far right wingers “and “ white supremacists.” Next to follow was a barrage of anti-white “laws” that were cleverly disguised under the racist constitution ( which was written by Jews)– to start eliminating whites from the job market, social life, historical events- and on tertiary level. Still the hippocratic world kept their silence.
For twenty years this facade went on- with one after the other racist and incriminating law flung against whites- a total of 119 of them. As-if that was not enough- did a terrible genocide against whites start to manifest with heathens such as Peter Mokaba, Julius Malema and Jacob Zuma openly advocating the killing of whites- and organized black gangs started to attack whites on farms and in the cities to such an extent that World Genocide Watch already moved the white genocide in South Africa to a level 6 out of a possible 8. Yet still the hippocratic world kept their silence- thus giving their approval to the extermination program of whites orchestrated and running in South Africa- even that “more than holy” United Nations , human rights movements, humanitarian aid organizations- and yea- the so-called “politically correct”church started to back-paddle- embracing  Zionist “diversity.”
The momentum to discriminate against whites started to escalate and direct attacks against all that is white were now pinned down in the form of “laws”– and while the racist anti-white regimes of both Mbeki and Zuma now was hell-bent to wipe whites totally out of the South African society, disarm them and hunt them down and throw them in jail on false charges- the vultures behind their NASPERS computers did more than their bit to advocate naked hatred and racism against whites in their tabloids. On a daily basis you read about the white “supremacist” here- the white “racist” there- the “black face” here- the ” racist ” social site there , “racist” anthem, “racist flag”, “racist” gathering and so on.
For years they keep on pummeling society with the “racist” whites. The irony is that NASPERS are controlled by liberal WHITES.Even in their crime articles they used white models to represent the “villains.”Mean-while 90 % of all ground-level crimes in South Africa are committed by blacks. NOW I am not saying ALL blacks are criminals- but ironically most criminals happen to be  black! It seems the ANC also imposed their “demography” representation in the criminal world. This seem to be ONE area the ANC and their racist laws does not want to “advertise” the true reflection of how well their”demography” shit are represented! Yet the ANC hoodlums and their media want to blame WHITES and Van Riebeeck for “racism” and all the troubles we now face?
As the momentum took shape- direct attacks on whites against their history, their schools, their language, their heritage, their universities and their historical statues gathered speed. We still freshly remember the “#Rhodesmustfall” campaign. Black racism now were fueled by the vindictive ANC communist regime under Jacob Zuma–  and the NASPERS media wretches. This was no more evident than the huge “outcry” against Steve Hoffmeyer and the “Die Stem” fiasco- as well as the direct onslaught against Sunette Bridges who tried to stand up for whites. Dubious corporate thugs  also took part in this sick game ( Like a certain bank that try to brain-wash clients with their  un-Steve campaign) – and quickly notified the world they are “distancing” themselves from the likes of Hoffmeyer and Bridges- and cancelled sponsorships.
This created the perfect scenario to start a final direct  assault against whites to demonize them in the eyes of the world- and the local black population- and in January 2016 that assault was launched by the Jews behind the ANC and DA with the “Penny Sparrow” false flag operation. Whites now were targeted to receive the full brunt of anti-white black racism propaganda. “Penny Sparrow” was a figment of the DA Jew imagination– and in co-operation with the ANC  and their media- this false flag operation was launched to try to decimate and belittle the last credible status whites in South Africa might have.
For weeks on end the NASPERS and Gupta controlled New Age media scoundrels did their very best to start a massacre of whites by radical black groups through the “Penny Sparrow” incident- instigating blacks to start at least “something.” BUT bar the socialites on black sites that uttered naked racist slanders against whites- nothing more came from it. BUT in the meantime whites were only exploited by the ANC and their media  as scapegoats to divert the attention of the populace away from Zuma – who was busy clinching the biggest scam of his career- the Russian nuclear deal. Slowly “Penny Sparrow” faded from the memory- bar – as expected- a few ANC dregs promising another “law-or-two” against white “racism” again. BUT that was still not the end. Across the spectrum the evil media hyped blacks to a frenzy- splashing the tiniest morsel of “assumed” racism by whites on their front pages.
After the Penny Sparrow debacle the next so-called “Bombshell” fell when two innocent white girls painted their faces PURPLE– and IMMEDIATELY our old reliable dregs-NASPERS– were at the forefront to advertise this “unacceptable” BLACK FACE “racism” to the world.
 There we go again. Every chancellor, deacon, tutor and professor ran for their briefcases and laptops to “distance” themselves again from this “preposterous” racism on the Stellenbosch campus before their poor institution are also labelled “racist” by the media. On the end it turned out to be one huge bullshit propaganda stunt as the girls did not even paint their faces black- but PURPLE. BUT the evil media has done their damage- and the poor girls  were expelled for this innocent stunt- and NO formal apology by ANY of those same “administrators” of the university was given to those two girls. We do not even want to talk about an apology by the media criminals- they NEVER give an apology. Satan simply does not back-track.
 Discrimination against whites in South Africa now are busy reaching it’s peak.
