Unfortunately, I also heard this insufferably dim-witted comment from Oosthuizen. A white man "celebrating"Â the birth of a vicious black terrorist whose entire aura has been devoted to the vermin-like extermination (no, wait, rats certainly receive a less brutal sort of demise than what befalls the Boer) of whites in South Africa is now commonplace here in Oceania.
I despise White people who do that! Dear God! I didn't expect him to use the platform to raise the awareness of the world to the plight of his fellow countrymen. Hell no, never in a million years would I anticipate something like that. No, he is White, and as is the case with MOST Whites he would rather stab his kin in the back than risk being called a racist and losr favorable press. But to celebrate Mandella?! To hell with that SOB!
Being a white South African, it may be that he has to make these gestures. Or think he does.
