Why black Africans are considered savages.

[liza81]

Ah well, if you're English why are you using an Americanism like aint? Your dear gran would turn over in her grave, I'm sure. Just kidding around af course

I am not living in South-Africa at the moment. I am studying in Texas. I couldn't say where Amadodo lives, sorry. All the people on here that I sort-of know well live in countries other than RSA. I think it's mostly because getting online there is rather pricey, so people do not spend time on chat boards.

About your racism question - it's still a day to day thing, I suppose, as in any country. The older generations (my father's age and older) tend to cling to the way things used to be. I'm not sure they even know what it is that they long for. Younger generations are finding more and more that skin-colour has little to do with the kind of person that you are. I think that in the older generations, there is a general mistrust of other races, mostly because of segregation - we fear what we don't know. Now, with schools being integrated, white kids and black kids get to know each other on a day to day basis. Children can decide for themselves if all white farmers are racists of if all blacks are murderers. Naturally, if you see each other every day, borrow pencils from each-other and cheat in exams together (not that I ever did that ) you realise that there are always a bunch of nut-cases out there, but for the most part, we're all the same.

I hope this answers your question to some degree. I have been blessed in the sense that none of my immediate family have been hijacked/raped or murdered, so it's easy not to develop a bitter-racist mentality. We've had the house broken into, and the car stolen out of the driveway, but that's really rather ordinary occurences, and no-one got hurt. People who were personally attacked by people of a different race easily decide that they must all be like that (shall we take as an example mr.Bush and the axis of evil?)

Anyway, I think "what racism is like" is still a hard one to tackle. People get very touchy and very defensive about it.

After so many years of White Apartheid, Boer rule and everything else, the South African mind is seriously warped. Funny how one never hears about cannibalism in Tanzania or Ghana or Ivory Coast!!

Yeah, Africa IS the Cradle of Civilization, but ever since you Euro swine robbed this cradle time and again, Africa looks like hell. Euros, gaze upon Africa, India, Cambodia, Peru, Cuba, etc., and behold your handiwork. All bad things that happen nowadays are directly or indirectly traceable to your grubby little paws.

welcome to the board
You are a delightful ray of sunshine, aren't you? Just kidding around I agree that European conquerors just made a mess of every single place they took over. Everone would have been much better off had they stayed home. Things being the way they are, we have to make do, eh?

Like all typical, low-IQ Capoids, most of you have no sense of proportion or context; hence, there are a few little nuances you consistently miss.

1. The rate of cannibalism, per capita, is far higher in sub-Saharan African (Negroid) societies than it is in any other groups of societies anywhere. The fact that cannibalism occurs spoardically in, say, Germany, does not discredit the fact that it is over 1,000 times more prevalent in South Africa.

2. In European societies, cannibalism is severley condemned; it is confined to the mentally ill, and others who are completely ostracized from society. In Africa, cannibalism is an integral part of the native culture.

Please note: a ****ing guinea wrote the preceding message. No further comment necessary. Cannibalism is a way of life among greasy stinking wops.
