Beautifully said Chris
WAARDEER !!!đ
Very well said!
Thank you and
God bless!
AKA as a barbaric, entitled group !!
I think im Irish….i usually dont know how to act…in any racist situation!
Spot on!
Thanks for shedding light on this topic, Chris. This country desperately needs to be educated rather than indoctrinated.
Anyone who believes Trump's divisive vitriol, has a racist tendency..
Richard Baird – Judge Motata whistle blower was falsely accused of racism in court by a Metro cop and in a Tribunal by Motata. Where were/are all these political parties, SAHRC, NPA, Judicial Services Commission, many NGO's, Public Protector, SAPS, Legal Practices Council, Bar Association etc. not criminally prosecuting the impeached Judge Motata for his racism?
His racism was upheld as having been PROVEN beyond a reasonable doubt …by the JSC Tribunal, the JSC (after court cases against their suppression of same for 5 years), Supreme Court of Appeal and Parliament.
Worst is a total disregard by all, including the media and the "whistle Blower Awards" winning journalists; to properly vindicate and properly publish all the facts – including the HISTORICAL fact – Judge Motata was the 1st Judge in SA history to be impeached (since Union in 1910). What was he impeached for 1) racism and 2) running a dishonest defence. You can't script this! Not in a post-apartheid SA!
Oh yes … just as long as all the people involved in the various processes, mostly bureaucrats and media were being paid; its all good. They are all doing their 'jobs" and protecting the "political assets" with their mis-information, dis-information and propaganda. Don't worry about the falsely accused whistle blower whose life was ripped apart and he lost everything … including most of the people closest to him (daughter, wife, father and life time friends). Home, business, ability to earn an income and a criminal record because I was not able to CONTINUE paying ridiculous maintenance to the mother of my children (who is a CA(SA)) for the 50% of the time that they were being cared for whilst under my roof.
That's the difference when a white person is accused of racism … he becomes an "association" risk to others.

All Black Economic Empowerment actions are RACIST because it cheats persons of White skin colour, out of economic opportunities.
The racist crime of BEE is measurable.
BEE is only possible when a White person, of higher merit, has been cheated out of a job or a contract.
BEE is not just 'hot air' (words) that can't do any physical harm.
The pain a black person feels in reaction to 'hot air' (words) is SELF INFLICTED.
People allocate meaning to things that they experience, inside their own heads.
Every individual interprets things differently.
I don't feel offended when somebody calls me an ape or a baboon … because I KNOW I'm not!
Don't blacks know that they are NOT apes or baboons?
Oh. Here we go again…just to put Racism into the right perspective for a change.đ˘. "Racism" … Racism is what it must ask itself, what colour toilet paper isđŞ paper after having to wipe up all the crap in the Whole Wide World. đđ đ
Racism in SA only goes one way, unfortunately!
Your ancestors have been very GOOD to black for people +500 years, even offering them 1 way V.I.P Cruise tickets to see the majestic Americas. being black and African is the worse that could ever happen to anyone and i don't wish it on any1. My people are suffering, the West keeps taking away our morals, cultures, traditions, fathers, Mothers, Land. Our grand Children will not be kind to you.
I still don't understand how today people just don't get it Col. Blessings đ
News24 is propaganda garbage
Common sense is not so common …
Chris the world is mad And i say ho believes in God We humans need to get and live in Peace Amen
This man ( Chris) is very clued up about South Africa!!
Years ago a friend with a very fair skin & long blonde hair experienced the exact same thing in India. It is normal human behavior in certain countries not really being exposed to foreigners that much.
Thanks! Great commentary!
Chris, my friend Koos went to China on leave. Nou he looks identical to father Christmasđ, boepens en al, the children wanted photos with him so they will stand in his vicinity so that mom could take a photo. He noticed and told the one child to stand next to him and told the mother to take a photo, the next moment a line formedđ. Yes in China this afrikaner stood, he was different, like you said people noticed.
Their so called SAHRCđ đ should definitely listen to this, thank you Chris.
Your just good looking
Can't fix stupid
Very well put, many examples personally lived, some hilarious when itâs foreigners. !
I do agree with you, as well Chris
Thank you Chris
Racism is hatred period and in this country there is plenty of that towards minorities
In China the posing for photo's and finger pointing is commonly applied to White people as well. Now as far as attitude toward Black people is concerned, yes they are racist but not for the reason you may think. They treat darker skinned Chinese as lower class citizens too and this has to do with their past where the poor were general out door workers and were darker due to sun exposure than those who had wealth and worked indoors. China has a very serious social issue with being perceived as wealthy and better than, even when they are not.
I also found blacks wanted to feel my blond hair and feel the hair on my legs and arms
WITH GREAT, GREAT RESPECT TOWARDS THE LADY…..
SHE HAS LOST PART OF HER
CULTURE BY ADOPTING AN "ALIEN" NATIONS CULTURE .
EVEN LOOSING HER ORIGINAL WAY OF SPEAKING
THE " IRISH" ACCENT !!??!
WHAT ABOUT THE WELL KNOWN " MOTTO " OF
" AFRICA FOR THE AFRICANS"
ALTERNATIVELY .." IRELAND
FOR THE IRISH "!!!!!
NOTHING " RACIAL" ABOUT THIS ! ….DEPENDING ON WHETHER YOU HAVE A
" RACIAL" MINDSET !!!!
I CERTAINLY DONT !
Racism is a white skin.
Black people – you are no longer victims. You no longer have any power when you cry racism. You have successfully destroyed that word and given the fact you are the only race who actively stages fake hate crimes your integrity as a people is gone. You are the racist of the modern era
Kids loved playing with my hair – when I was at high school and teaching. Wasn't racism, they just liked the idea that I had long hair that they could plait.
Ja dit is baie probleem vir eff en anc. ANC politieke is vol swartes. Waar is witte vir anc politieke???? Darem anc is racist. Eff is ook racist. Eff en ANC is veroorsaak. Witte is nie skuld nie.
I can concur with Chris, the touching of hair etc etc has happened to me frequently in other parts of Africa that I had been to. I never for once viewed it as racist.
People before Politics.
We judge everyone by there behavior and content of there caractor if someone insults u based on your behavier has f/all to do with racisim only raciests i know are black they go by the color of my shin not my behavior or contant of my character want proof of systemic racism affirmative action beeee and so on funny how they all proritize blacks
Why this lady thinking white people in Europe supposed to cater to her? Delusional. Racism that black people nowadays cry about is so abstract, you have to get a microscope to see it. The demand of Racism exceeds the supply thereof.
Good morning Chris! Well put thank you!
Racism is hugely alive in social media and legacy media for money and to create narratives the fuel hatred this further ensuring sick news
Morning Chris. Blessings from Johannesburg â¤đ
Good morning
