Does that mean the 25% South Africans living with HIV/AIDS are lovepeddlers?

I feel sorry for her. She was probably drunk when she posted the harmless thing. I hope she can communicate her way out of this giant mess.

Yes, she has been sacked and is hiding in South Africa. How ironic she is taking refuge in Africa. She dare not return to America.

I think she's safer in America. She could literally get AIDS in South Africa if she doesn't take refuge in the right areas. I think she's just being punished for having the temerity to say out loud what many others are thinking while being female and pretty. And being bad at her job too.

anonimi:

How would you classify the ONGOING war of deprivation by the Arabs against Africans in the Darfur area of Sudan?





The facts on the ground prove otherwise in Ilorin and the north of Nigeria based on Fulani conquest of their land.




You seem to have forgotten that as RECENTLY as 70 years ago (1943) the whites were fighting a very deadly, genocidal World War 2, among themselves, which the Germans lost.

BTW, why can't we have black supremacy
I get it- because we do NOT have the capacity to DOMINATE others!
Or do you think otherwise

Black supremacy Dont be funny bros, it takes organization and a willingless to die for a cause to assume supremacy. Africans are not well organized. And as for dying, well thats a different story.

The third reich was well organized, have you watched old nazi propaganda films? Everything from preparing to go to war and the concentration camps where planned to the last detail. They truly believed in what they where doing was "right."

What Africa needs is revolution. We need to show other people that they cant treat us with disrespect and get away with it.

When rich & powerful old men do racist things, we keep quiet, but when someone harmless & vulnerable makes a dumb joke, we go crazy. We're attacking her not because she deserves it but because it is easier to attack some lady than to attack the racists doing real damage.

The adults living with HIV/AIDS in South Africa excluding children is 17.3%(5.8 million people) with a prevalent rate of 0.3% as at 2011. Just do the math in two years . Source

Zulu defeat of British:

The Battle of Isandlwana on 22 January 1879 was the first major encounter in the Anglo–Zulu War between the British Empire and the Zulu Kingdom. Eleven days after the British commenced their invasion of Zululand in South Africa, a Zulu force of some 20,000 warriors attacked a portion of the British main column consisting of about 1,800 British, colonial and native troops and perhaps 400 civilians.[12] The Zulus were equipped mainly with the traditional assegai iron spears and cow-hide shields,[13] but also had a number of muskets and old rifles[14] though they were not formally trained in their use.[15] The British and colonial troops were armed with the state-of-the-art[16] Martini-Henry breech-loading rifle and two 7 pounder artillery pieces as well as a rocket battery. Despite a vast disadvantage in weapons technology,[17] the numerically superior Zulus ultimately overwhelmed the poorly led and badly deployed[18] British, killing over 1,300 troops, including all those out on the forward firing line. The Zulu army suffered around a thousand killed.[19]

The battle was a decisive victory for the Zulus and caused the defeat of the first British invasion of Zululand.[20] The British Army had suffered its worst defeat against a technologically inferior indigenous force.[21] Isandlwana resulted in the British taking a much more aggressive approach in the Anglo–Zulu War, leading to a heavily reinforced second invasion[22] and the destruction of King Cetshwayo's hopes of a negotiated peace.[23]

I doubt she was. Before she closed her account, I read her previous tweets and there were so many instances of bigoted statements.

I actually feel sorry for her. It's a reckless comment but it was an attempt at a bad joke. She said what every white person thinks but may not express verbally. I have forums where I interact with foreigners and we have racist banter for the fun of it, having digs at each other's culture and socio-political issues. Sadly, we live in a social media age of overreactions and online bullying.

Apparently she was on a work visa in America. She should stay in SA, we dont need her in the states. I am sure we can find someone else to replace her.

Her father is Desmond Sacco, a billionaire SA mining magnate with ties to the old apartheid regime so she certainly is not vulnerable ....also most of her previous online posts also featured subtle racist or inappropriate comments, either way the twitter lynching/mob action was a bit too much, she certainly has learned her lessons
