People always have one bad experience and nail it down to racism, and then paint everyone with the same brush. So one white is racist and all whites are then racist within the 50 km radius of that racist white. you should also take into consideration that like you said, you are young and therefore you don’t actually experience much with racism. Black people are just as racist as white people, but that’s not to say ALL are racist either. you will always get racist people but this post was all about pointing the finger at white people as a nation, and blaming YOU, not just a few people, for all the troubles in the country. the man who posted this message had already suggested in one post that YOU should be made to pay additional taxes because you are white. would you like to pay double tax? if you don’t work yet trust me YOU WON’T want to pay that tax, and would feel disgusted that anyone should suggest that you should based on the color of your skin.

so you had one bad experience at a club because they were filming. Try going there again with your friends and see what happens when they are not filming, if the same thing occurs then just don’t bother going.

there are clubs that cater for blacks only, with their music and their type of entertaintment, it is absolutely fine for the same to occur with white people, we are different and don’t enjoy the same thing, so if there are clubs out there that are for whites then so be it, right of admission is reserved. It’s not racist, just a business targetting a specific age or race group.

We went in. I was shocked and we spoke about the ladies attitude a bit. But then I started looking upstairs to what the other patrons were wearing. They had on jeans and tops, flat shoes, etc. And my friends and I were dressed in cocktail outfits and massive heels. I realised it was straight racism/apartheid. Me and my black friends were forced to sit downstairs while the coloureds and whites sat upstairs. I was SHOCKED! to say the least. We left soon after coming in. Is the northern suburbs of Cape Town this racist? Or is it specific to the old white generation (owner) that still treat black people like they need to be hidden?

as for stupid remarks like “white people are trying to maintain white superiority”. OF COURSE THEY ARE, would YOU suddenly quite your job so that someone else can take it, just to be fair? stop being so narrow sighted people, i am white, and i can tell you one thing is for sure, whites don’t give a damn about whites. The rich, black OR White, seek to maintain their own power. this is not about black and white, it’s about the rich taking advantage of the poor under the guise of racial discrimination.

you think people like Malema give a damn about people living in squatter camps? they throw a bit of money their way when elections come and then forget them later again. that’s black people in power, while white rich people hog money to themselves and hire whoever is cheapest, regardless of color.

Gee, Prof.
Obviously, as a man of integrity, you are going to quit your cushy state supported job at UCT so that a black professor can replace you and implement transformation.

It is one thing to write propaganda pieces for President 783′s “do as I say don’t do” party – it is another to take the obvious next step. I am waiting with bated breath.

But in the wake of years of infighting, that has already cost one mayor his job, the home of the country’s parliament will not give the 92-year-old anti-apartheid hero a grand city-centre thoroughfare. Nelson Mandela Boulevard will simply replace Eastern Boulevard, a fast three-lane carriageway that descends into the city just after the junction of Settlers’ Way and (Cecil) Rhodes Drive.
