- CNN's Kyra Phillips has led
her viewers to believe that dangling a noose-an impolite and impolitic
form of expression-is a hate crime; a black man beating a white man to
a pulp-not so much. Being maimed or murdered, evidently, doesn't compare
to being insulted. Phillips and the feminized establishment media have
difficulties differentiating a felony from an affront to feelings. No wonder
these wonder men and women are mum about who's killing whom in the democratic
South Africa, the pride of the liberal press.
-
- While black South African criminals are not neglecting
other blacks, they are, overwhelmingly, targeting Indians and whites. According
to the South African Institute of Security Studies, "Only 32 percent!
of all blacks questioned knew someone who was a victim of crime,"
compared to 66 percent of Indian adults and 56 percent of white adults.
The color of crime and its casualties both in America and South Africa
is the proverbial elephant in the room-to be touched upon only if the victims
can be vilified as racists.
-
- The BBC as well as New Zealand and Australian television
news-networks have covered the racially motivated killing campaign Africans
are conducting against the Afrikaner farmers of South Africa. Not Kyra
and her colleagues at Fox, MSNBC, ABC, and CBS. No wonder, then, that the
orchestrated ethnocide against the entire Afrikaner people has not been
brought out into the open, as they like to say on CNN.
-
- Ethnocide, as defined by Michael Mann, a leading historical
sociologist, is "state-induced cultural assimilation, through hegemony
and suppression." The warmed-over Marxists governing South Africa
with the West's blessing are leading the charge again st the country's
Afrikaner past, patriotism, and institutions.
-
- Afrikaans, in particular, has come under the ANC's attack,
as the government attempts to compel Afrikaans schools to adopt English.
Afrikaans-speaking universities, for example, have been labeled racist
in the New South Africa and have been forced to merge with "third-rate
black institutions so that campuses may be swamped by blacks demanding
instruction in English," to quote the Afrikaner intellectual, Dan
Roodt.
-
- The ANC's attempts to tame and claim South-African history
have been extended to landmarks in the annals of the founding people-these
are being slowly erased, as demonstrated by the ANC's decision to give
an African name to Potchefstroom, a town founded in 1838 by the "Voortrekkers"
(Dutch pioneers). The leader of those pioneers, Marthinus Pretorius, founded
the capital, Pretoria. It is now Tshwane! Durban's Moore Road (after Sir
John Moore, the hero of the Battle of Corunna) is Che G uevara Road; Kensington
Drive, Fidel Castro Drive. The cherr! y on the cake is Yasser Arafat highway,
down which the motorist can speed on the way to the Durban airport.
-
- As a subject in the school curriculum, history was initially
neglected during the transition to majority rule. The establishment of
the "South African History Project" changed that. The Project's
aim, according to Sasha Polakow-Suransky of the Chronicle of Higher Education,
has been "a resurrection of the subject as a prominent field of study
in the national school curriculum." Unfortunately, following the American
academy's example, the trend has been away from "the pursuit of objective
historical truth," toward a postmodern, politically correct reconstruction
of historical events, with the aim of fostering "certain values,"
in the words of Kader Asmal, the minister of education in 2000.
-
- "You have books appearing that interpret the history
of South Africa only according to the perspective of the liberation struggle,"
avers Pieter Kapp, a retired professo r of history at Stellenbosch University.
Indeed, "Since 1994, tales of European conquest are slowly beginning
to disappear from the nation's classrooms, giving way to epic accounts
of black anti-apartheid heroes," writes Polakow-Suransky.
-
- Like it or not, the modern marvel that was South Africa-with
its space program and skyscrapers-was not the handiwork of the black nationalist
movement now dismantling it; but the creation of those persecuted, pale,
patriarchal Protestants.
