Colonial Theme Weddings Are Not Racist? by rover321: 12:01pm On Jul 15, 2011 |
This is an "interesting" omment from someone who clearly does not see racism in the photos below. Are they racist, insensitive or just a very small storm in a very small tea cup? judge for yourself. Comment: This has to be the most ridiculous post I have seen in a while- but if you’re really interested in checking out racist stuff, I would suggest that you go to http://www.southafrica.info – the official South African site for touristy types- Here you can get a days trip to the same area and go see the indigents all decked out in colonial period clothing- they’ll even dance for you- now if that’s not exploitation then what is?- o sorry the answer is that approximately 26% of the population is unemployed and some people will do anything for money- including educating people on issues of national pride- but then they are dressed in traditional garb so by your definition this must be racist…, This blog is rubbish- 1st of all they’re not even in colonial dress- the waitrons that is- and if they are, then it definitely isn’t South African more along an Indian theme- so wrong continent my dear and wrong time period. I would suggest that you are a racist yourself- the definition of racism being the belief that there are inherent differences in people’s traits and capacities that are entirely due to their race, however defined, and that, as a consequence, justify the different treatment of those people, both socially and legally. I.e- you see it you own it. I honestly do not see the relevance of a wedding held in an impoverished area, providing employment to people- and having them wear red fezzes- as being racist- but then I am South African- and have stayed in this country and am working towards a better future. You on the other hand have probably never been to South Africa- have been talking to some cheesy expat who ran away when the going got tough and now sits on the other side of the world with his/her Mandela T shirt sprouting platitudes about how wonderful ZA would be if it wasn’t for all the racists there- point is darling…. most of the racists have left the country and now sit on the other side of the world with their Mandela T shirts…. It’s a themed wedding- that’s all- not some political commentary and not some white led hatred of the masses- and btw has anybody bothered to ask the waitrons as to how they feel about the garb- no?- thought so- it basically sums up the mass hysteria/ poo journalism/ lets incite to comment that this has posted- so sorry if the place shuts down, sorry if the employees get canned and good one for the usual crap that gets out in the name of how-de-doo-dee…, I have no problem what so ever in getting married in the country with a themed wedding- be it Pirates of the Caribbean or Colonial or Gatsby or whatever- good on the owners for having some initiative and shame on you for being so racist! comment from: http://www.myweku.com/2011/07/colonial-themed-wedding-in-south-africa-with-an-all-black-servant-staff/ Pics:

there is nothing racist in those pictures, the props and theme is actually pretty cool. however the problem is the 'all black servant staff' thats just absurd , who would humiliate themselves like that? |

I am white, and this is disturbing. Why anyone would want to celebrate the oppression of fellow human beings is beyond my understanding. |
