'BLACKS ARE SYMBOLS OF POVERTY' (PW BOTHA 1985)
Editor,
When I look at the xenophobia in South Africa, the poverty and failure to develop Zambia, Mozambique, Malawi and nonsense in Zimbabwe, I critically think of what former president of Apartheid South Africa P W Botha said about Black in 1985 about black people.
Here are some of the excepts from that speech:
"Pretoria has been made by the White mind for the White man. We are not obliged even the least to try to prove to anybody and to the Blacks that we are superior people. We have demonstrated that to the Blacks in a thousand and one ways. The Republic of South Africa that we know of today has not been created by wishful thinking. We have created it at the expense of intelligence, sweat and blood. .
We do not pretend like other Whites that we like Blacks. The fact that, Blacks look like human beings and act like human beings do not necessarily make them sensible human beings. Hedgehogs are not porcupines and lizards are not crocodiles simply because they look alike. If God wanted us to be equal to the Blacks, he would have created us all of a uniform colour and intellect. But he created us differently: Whites, Blacks, Yellow, Rulers and the ruled. Intellectually,we are superior to the Blacks; that has been proven beyond any reasonable doubt over the years. I believe that the Afrikaner is an honest, God fearing person, who has demonstrated practically the right way of being. Nevertheless, it is comforting to know that behind the scenes, Europe, America, Canada, Australia -and all others are behind us in spite of what they say.
It is our strong conviction, therefore, that the Black is the raw material for the White man. And here is a creature that lacks foresight. The average Black does not plan his life beyond a year”.
By now every one of us has seen it practically that the Blacks cannot rule themselves. Give them guns and they will kill each other. They are good in nothing else but making noise, dancing, marrying many wives and indulging in sex. Let us all accept that the Black man is the symbol of poverty, mental inferiority, laziness and emotional incompetence. Isn't it plausible, therefore that the White man is created to rule the Black man? Come to think of what would happen one day if you woke up and on the throne sat a Kaff*ir! Can you imagine what would happen to our women? Does anyone of you believe that the Blacks can rule this country?
His Excellency Botha. "

personally,some of the comments,are 100% truth,thats all I can say for now

An average south african can't slap a fellow white south african but can pick a knife against a fellow black man..I don't blame dem I blame the stupid kings we have in africa

Same kinda statement the Oba of Lagos make

The guy is saying the truth,
We blacks africans are hypocrites, we cry foul when we are faced with racism but we dont hesitate to exhibit xenophobia, racism and religious discrimination.
We will always be looked down upon by the white community.

He said the truth but was rather too harsh wit it dho we've achieved a lot. But the fact is clear that we african should av a rethink nd try to fix tins within ourself...

well i cant force u to use wat u dont have(brain).isnt it obvious he only insulting ur race...so to u accepting that ur race look like humans but are not, will profer solutions to our problems or maybe it will make u a better person in life.his motive is simply that whites are superior to the blacks...with no objective to correct.

Strong words, sadly I have to agree with most points...
