South Africans Destroy Popular Store Because of Racist Advert (PICS) by YEBOmadiba: 12:38pm On Sep 07, 2020
BBC NEWS - Protesters have forced several stores of a South African health and beauty company to close, after it ran a hair advertisement they deemed racist.

The Clicks advert had pictures of African hair labelled dry, dull and damaged, while an example of white hair was described as fine and flat.

Opposition party Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) called the advert "racist" and "dehumanising". Its leader Julius Malema called for all Clicks stores to be closed. The company has threatened legal action against the political party but Mr Malema urged his supporters to be "combat ready" and said the EFF wouldn't be "intimidated by threats".

"The implications of this are that black identity exists as inferior to the identity of white people. It is an assertion that white standards of beauty are to be aspired to and features of black represent damage, decay and abnormality," the EFF said in a statement.

There's no wisdom in the said advert but this shouldn't warrant the South Africans to go weired as they did though it is becoming their nature to distroy and loot in every little provocation.

Racism is a 400 year old problem in SA. The time for talking is over. The same is happening in America.

Racism is a natural tendency. It can never fall. It can only be suppresed. Racists will still be racists. Like tribalists here will still be tribalists

I agree. However, talks around the table seem to be failing. So more aggressive measures are needed.

There was a call to boycott the store so if people adhered to that it would still have sent a strong message. But the EFF is militant and their approach is attracting attention and they've succeeded.

They've destroyed Hillbrow and Yeoville, turning it into Little Lagos (filthy and chaotic). They also destroy lives, selling drugs.

The whites provoked them with racism the same way the black foreigners provoke them with drugs and crime.

Where did you read about looting? I also want to read.

Lazy people wouldn't go out to protest outside the stores. Nigerians are the lazy ones - do you see them fighting for their right like South Africans?

They re looking for free items to loot. I watched it on aljazeera. They were already looting shops. South africans - blacks especially are very very lazy and always looking for opportunities to seize

grin You're very funny.I asked if foreigners destroyed the stores.You are telling me they destroyed hillbrow and yeoville.Let me guess south Africans don't commit any crimes and it's the influx of foreigners ( in your mind Nigerians) who brought about Poverty and other social ills especially in hillbrow.I know my country is poor in most aspects to yours but the truth is that you guys can't stand up to the white man.

And they said on Al-Jazeera that SA blacks are very very lazy? Do they say that too about the black Americans looting stores and setting them alight in the US today? How about the London protests of 2011, was that also lazy people in Britain?

I asked you why Nigerians do not protest against bad leadership in their country over the past decades now. Isn't that the height of laziness?

U protested inside Click's store while at the same time looting their wares. If u want to do a real protest, do outside where the whole world will see u, and not inside the store where u can loot (like u did earlier today)

What is funnier is you failing to connect the dots - you are accusing these South Africans of being destructive same way your own brothers are destructive in SA as well. You want to pin me to the destruction of property alone, human lives are more important (think of the crimes and drugs your brothers are involved in). When South Africans destroy those they are eliminating criminal infrastructure (or your businesses as you naively call them).

With relation to Hillbrow everyone knows wherever Nigerians move in South Africans move out. That speaks volumes. Look at the sorry state of Hillbrow today - it's a no-go area.

Indeed the entrenchment of European capital across Southern Africa and the threat of Western sanctions makes it difficult to deal decisively with white people (look at Zimbabwe) but clearly as you can see from such protests we are not afraid of them. We are dealing with them on the farms as well.
