Again, as far as I know that’s all correct.
In your experience from living there, would you say that the majority of white South Africans are racist? |

I don’t disagree with any of that, as I say they were badly lead. What part of what I said don’t you agree with? The manipulation? |

What I was trying to put across was that ALL Afrikaners weren’t racist the way some would have you believe. If you lived there I’m sure you had friends who identified as Afrikaner, who weren’t racist.
On Hashim Amla, apologies, that was a google search gone wrong on my part. On second look it said below “also including results for African cricketers” |

Out of interest, what parts of their privileges being reduced are they bitter about?
I had relatives who lived in Joburg for a few years pre & post the abolition of apartheid. They weren’t native but & I remember them telling of very serious crime & murder rates & having to watch were they went in the city.
When you say there’s no evidence to suggest the farmers are disproportionately victims compared to any other group, has there been evidence to the contrary? The official figures will be there somewhere & if released would potentially end the debate & make Trump & co look foolish for suggesting otherwise |

Impartial reporting? It’s an opinion piece, the same as the original article. The difference is the Sky News piece, whether impartial or not, has evidence of a political in SA figure telling a large gathering of people that it’s sometimes ok to kill. There was also some chanting with said large crowd gesturing guns in the air.
No mention of any of this in the original article
No specific interest in this, other than already having basic knowledge of the Afrikaans |

It’s actually worse than I thought, there is evidence in that video of politicians telling a large group that it’s sometimes ok to kill etc
Are you saying that they are lying about all the farmers who have been killed? This is all new to me by the way, I haven’t been following the story or recent news in general |

There was the Progressive Party, as far as I know most if not all others were outlawed.
The National Party, who brought in apartheid (literal meaning ‘Apartness or Separation’) played on the fear of black on white crime etc & promised to protect the white minority.
Crime was understandably high in SA due to lack of opportunity across the divide. A lot of what are now considered the original Afrikaans were giving the incentive of free land for farming to move to SA. This is when it was a Dutch colony in the 16/1700s. Obviously with this foot up, they were the minority, but owned a lot of the land.
I’m not up to date with the recent SA political situation, but it seems it’s claimed that this group is now having land taken from them etc, leading to the offer of relocation by the US |

It will be for his potential & the fact he’s relatively cheap for a young English player who’s done pretty well in a relegation side. Southampton are apparently asking £100m for Tyler Dibling for instance (lol)
As someone else said, he’s clearly better than Hojland at the moment too, so it’s an instant upgrade for Man U up front.
I do think if Utd had more money about them at the moment they’d prefer Gyokeres etc but looks like Liam’s going to benefit & it’ll be sink or swim for him in the pressure cooker of Old Trafford |

Not at all. I’m saying that they aren’t a racist group as such, & were heavily manipulated through division, fear etc to keep the status quo in power. I’m saying that a racist government doesn’t equate to a racist people per se. |

The wrong people were in power. The Afrikaans were amongst those to be badly lead, manipulated to vote a certain way. Divisive policies & fear, control systems worldwide have always been manipulative. As an example, you can’t blame every German for what happened in WW2 |

Afrikaans are not white supremacists, regardless of what the article would lead you to believe.
If you follow cricket, you might be familiar with Hashim Amla who is considered to be Afrikaan, yet is a Muslim of part Indian heritage. |

There are some black Afrikaans too, but it makes for a better title for the journalist not to acknowledge them.
Added to that, if she can’t see the difference between trying to settle millions of Afghans (99.7% Muslim) in a predominantly Christian country & settling a group of Christian, almost entirely English speaking people in the US, I’m not that sure whether I respect her POV. |

Very comfortable promotion from League 1 ✅
Unbelievable promotion from Championship, probably way ahead of schedule for the squad ✅
Squad sadly slightly out of depth, as were the the other 2 promoted squads, & the 3 promoted clubs that went down last year…. & like clockwork, the vocal minority want rid of the Manager.

So the richest man on the planet is resorting to fraud of government agencies, right in front of the public’s eyes? Tin foil hat stuff.
A genuine independent audit on government spending should be welcomed by the public in any country |

I didn’t mention the NHS, it obviously needs a massive cash injection.
I would be pretty sure the figures from a government spending audit would bring out massive levels of incompetence & probably corruption if truth be told. |
