I find this very strange:
“Indeed very interesting.
And sad in more than way.
I am surprised that the letter does
not mention any consequences to
the posters cited:
Kill the Boer, kill the farmer.
Dubulu i Bhunu
One Boer one bullet
Were there any?
In every Western country
I can think of, such posters,
especially if directed
at a minority, would be
sanctioned.”
South Africa a Western country? What? Like Russia? Like Germany? Like Spain, where the society is still divided? Even my country, the U.S., is still fighting our civil war. A textbook published for fourth graders that says Blacks flocked to the Confederate banners to defend slavery? And you wonder that a country where grenades were being tossed into churches just a few years ago and peaceful demonstrators were tortured and murdered by the authorities still has a trace of bitterness? As long as there is freedom of speech you will have to put up with the expression of hatred and rancor.
