Mpumalanga, which means the “land of the rising sun,” is a province that lies in southeast South Africa. The popular tourist destination offers exhilarating wildlife, secluded mountain retreats, invigorating water sports, and diverse African cultures. Sounds inviting, right? Except that it also harbors a White youth camp for boys, ages 13 to 19, who are indoctrinated into believing that Blacks are “the most-underdeveloped, barbaric members of the human race.” They are also being taught that “Blacks have a smaller cerebral cortex and therefore could not use their initiative or govern properly,” reports the UK’s Daily Mail and Guardian.
The right wing Afrikaner camp in Mpumalanga are spewing hate against the Black South African population by teaching young and impressionable minds that Blacks are the enemy. Kommandokorps camp leader Franz Jooste‘s mission is to ensure that the boys understand that Blacks are responsible for the country’s murders, rapes, and robberies. The 57-year-old man was also quoted as saying that it just takes him one hour to totally erase any notions that the boys might have about accepting the harmonious ideology of a rainbow coalition. Ironically, Jooste also states, “All we want to do is channel the feeling they already carry within them. We don’t want them to hate.”

re: “Isn’t saying that all breeds of people . . .”
Talking about people in terms of “breeds” sounds so, so familiar. I think you’re trying to be “cute” or “coy” with your racial stereo-typing, but that’s just my opinion.
Comparisons of people in terms like the “temperment” of animals, even as a metaphor, lends itself to a de-humanizing attitude. We stop looking at people as individuals and start painting with a very, very broad brush.
As to the thesis that nations ruled by blacks are unstable leads one to conclude that it is their race that is to blame for such failures. However, I think that is way too simple an idea.
African nations are in turmoil and have been for many centuries because of several reasons - one of the biggest being religion (paganism, Islamic conquest, animism, pantheism, etc.). Christianity could have helped stablize much of Africa had it not been for the rise of Islam. The scientific method never took hold in Africa as it did in the western nations - this was also because of the lack of Christianity. I know that may shock some people, but the great advances in science blossomed in the 15th, 16th, and 17th centuries came from the Christian worldview that the universe is rational because it was created by a rational God - that this universe was designed with physical laws and could therefore be studied and understood, that the discovery of scientific truth was possible.
Islam has some of that idea, but not like with Judeo-Christianity. The same types of problems occuring in Africa were also found with the indigenous tribes of North and South America - there had been no scientific progress in these places past a certain point.
My point is that it is not such a stupid thing as “race” that determines a person’s abilities or character - it is culture and religion, especially in one’s world-view of themselves and their universe.
I haven’t particualy noticed that whites were any different from African black tribes as far as aggression, brutality, or political stability during their “pagan white tribes of Europe” era.
In the 20th century, it was one particular “white” culture that was very big on grouping people by so-called “breeds”. They didn’t turn out so well.
“So God created mankind in His own image,
in the image of God He created them;
male and female He created them.” Genesis 1:27
“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, and are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights”. Declaration of Independence, Thomas Jefferson.
***Are the white Africans that have been there fore 400 years still foreign devils?***
When the Dutch settled South Africa there were NO blacks there, some bushmen and hotentots.
It wasn’t till later when blacks began to move into white South Africa while fleeing from Shaka and his Zulu impis.
“Talking about people in terms of “breeds” sounds so, so familiar. I think you’re trying to be “cute” or “coy” with your racial stereo-typing, but that’s just my opinion.”
If you read my post #30, there’s nothing raciest about what I said. People from different backgrounds simply have different strengths and weaknesses.
“We are all part of the human race of course, but there are breeds of people and they are all different. Some are smarter, some are faster, and yes some are more prone to violence.” -BG
I happen to be white (European) and a small touch of American Indian... Europeans are not exactly at the top of the heap. The Asians have a higher average IQ, and the Africans, in general are more athletic. There’s no question about these things. Bell curves for different groups (by trait) obviously overlap, but it’s just as obvious that there are also differences.
Nowhere did I suggest that one group was better than another. We all have our strengths and weaknesses. But were certainly not equal in all environments.
So where’s the beef?
Self-loathing is the flip-side of racism.
Today, 2-3% of Asian And European DNA comes from the neanderthals...Africans have no Neanderthal DNA.
Some Pacific Islanders and people in New Guinea have 2-3% Denisovan DNA, no-one else alive today has that DNA.
“I have heard and seen this attitude in my travels in South Africa.
I saw it from both youth and grown ups in Jo-Berg Holiday Inn, Drakensberg Holiday Inn, Howick Falls resort (Zulu land) and Umulunga Rocks near Durbin.
I pretty much had to shut my mouth and not say anything.
All hell is going to break loose after Mandel la is gone.”
So you would not recommend travel to Durban for a work assignment?
Funny thing,
I’ve known a few American blacks who have visited Africa and have come home to anounce that they are Americans and not African Americans.
Nothing cept American culture there when they get real about it.
Actually Durban is one of the safer areas in South Africa. Love the city.
The great percentage of people in the city and immediate areas are Indian.
Just stay out of the ocean there. One of the greatest populations of sharks in the world.
Warning: Stay out of Jo-berg after 5 PM no matter what color you are. I still love South Africa. Just hope they can get their act together.
Hope this helps.
