Ye, I know I have failed to keep to my new blogging schedule. I have tried to post every Tuesday, but I was too busy fighting off apartheid sympathizers and other types of white supremacists on my favorite web forum this week.
It’s as if the current problems with ruling government and South Africa as a country seem to have sparked an increase in what I like to call the middle/upper class superiority minority syndrome. Yes, I made it up all on my lonesome and I am rather proud of it. I use the phrase because it perfectly describes the mentality that some of the white middle and upper class (also the minority racial/economic group in SA) seem to have these days. I am sick of these opinionated closet racists who seem think that their severely biased opinions speak for all South Africans. These are the same arrogant cowards who write letters for the newspapers and post on internet forums under pseudonyms pointing out every possible negative aspect of this country and how the ruling government is solely to blame for these problems. They then state that South Africa and life for South Africans was so much better under apartheid rule. They fail to mention the blatant racism, the segregation and the oppression that occurred under apartheid rule – all gross human rights violations, the same rights that allow them to write these articles and make these comments, the same rights that allow them to immigrate and the same rights they are quick to squeal about when they complain about crime. What’s even worse are the deserting expat scum who have even unhealthier opinions on the county they abandoned. Here is a little snippet of a debate on my favorite internet forum, it’s a prime example of an immigrant trying to justify their choice to abandon their country with bitter, baseless accusations – this is a real little gem:
But the ANC is already pushing the country into reverse Apartheid and the majority of the population see that as a good thing. The ANC is being kept afloat by an uneducated mob that the ANC is doing their best to ensure they stay uneducated and continue to support them blindly. The wrecking of the educational and police systems was not because of incompetence it was deliberate because it cements the ANC as the untouchables.
AREYOUFUCKINGKIDDINGME? I cannot believe that… Fuckit, you know what, I will let the absurdity of that statement speak for itself. I don’t think I have to even discuss it further.
I came across this interesting article the other day. The article was originally published on a news website and that is where I first discovered it. I applaud the writer for speaking out against the appalling attitudes some South Africans have these days. Give it a read and here is a small extract:
One can’t help feeling that it all boils down to the fact that a lot of them just did not like having to share their country with black people.
After all, why does one see so many old South African flags being waved at SA/Australia rugby Tests in Perth? Why does one keep hearing about groups of South Africans continuing to celebrate apartheid holidays on the beaches of New Zealand surrounded by AWB uniforms and flags?
Frankly, I don’t know why I get so steamed up about these jealous and clearly insecure morons who gleefully leap upon every little thing that goes wrong in this country and scream “I told you so.”
I suppose we should just be grateful that they did leave the country.
South Africa needs patriotism, not the wishy washy proudly South African crap we have. The ‘US-fucking-A-is-the greatest-nation-on-earth’ type of patriotism, the kind where you don’t tell a patriot his country sucks in fear of having your teeth pulled. Don’t get me wrong, I am no US supporter/sympathizer or whatever the hell you want to call it, but when I see a 21 gun salute for a fallen US soldier I get a lump in my throat. I can also point out many flaws with patriotism, but I still think it’s damn admirable.
Anyway, /rant. I am in the process of relocating so my life is now surrounded by last minute arrangements, packing of boxes and the filling out of 2375836385 different forms.
The last time I moved I promised myself I would never pack my own stuff again, yet 8 months later here I am packing the vast amount of useless shit I have aquired of the years. Needless to say I am throwing a lot of stuff out and I am sure the Hanky children’s home will be very fond of me for a long while.
That said I am ecstatic to be moving closer to good friends and family and as of today I will relocate in 5 days. YAY!
On a sad note, a good friend of mine Vissie has immigrated (to NZ of all places) and even though this blog post is basically a scathing attack on deserting racists, Vissie does not fall into this group as she is a open minded individual with a healthy outlook on life merely wanting to explore life outside of her motherland (or is that fatherland?). I wish her the best of luck and a prosperous life in that country filled with scary war dancing, useless rugby players. I’m joking, please don’t beat me up giant tattooed rugby playing Māorian man-mountain.
Anyway, I am of to Jeffreys Bay today, I am itching to play some poker and I am looking forward to the game arranged for tonight. GET YO POKER ON BIATCH.
I have left out a lot of new but I am honestly too busy to write any more and I can gaurentee next week will be too hectic for a blog post so don’t hold your breath.
I will leave you with my favourite quote from possible the greatest comedian/cynic of all time, Bill Hicks. It is titled as “A positive drug story on the news”:
Today a young man on acid realized that all matter is merely energy condensed to a slow vibration, that we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively, there is no such thing as death, life is only a dream, and we are the imagination of ourselves…. Here’s Tom with the Weather.
