Aye, any critique of SA and the Govt is automatically racist.

And Canada will truly be concerned about that, NOT.

Thank you Canada for having the guts to stand up for what is right! May this incident set the wheels in motion to change the bloody collision course of Africa!

South Africa has legislation that forces companies to employ blacks before whites and forces businesses to give a share of their company to black people.

With laws like these it is undoubtedly racist against whites.

It is only a matter of time before the rest of the world comes to realise that this.

Most white people in South Africa will never come out with this because they are non-aggressive and fear being victimised by the the black radicals.

“It says more about Canadian perceptions than South African reality. The truth is that the overwhelming majority of crime victims in this country are black and many of the perpetrators are white.”
Oh, I think the Canadians are fully aware that, as far as crime and violence in the Southern Africa region goes, many of the perpetrators, encouragers and supporters, are indeed, white.

The very predictable response from England:

Quote:
Immigration authorities in England have warned Canada to expect a deluge of young, unemployable, white South Africans to arrive in their country after an immigration and refugee panel, made up of white folk who had never been to Africa, bought into former Cape Town resident Brandon Huntley's paranoia and granted him refugee status. "There won't be enough pubs and restaurants in Vancouver and Toronto to employ them all," said an unnamed Home Office source.
Old tactics, ridicule the situation or blame another party to reshift the focus from your own responsbilities. Ironically, many of the whites left in Southern Africa are of British descent, their parents, unemployed and unskilled, poured into South Africa during the Apartheid era. Many of them were even "recruited from Britain" by JCI, De Beers and good 'ol Anglo American.

Or will they, in similar fashion to Zimbabwe, just shrug shoulders at SA's decline? Write it off to the British being 'dilatory and slothful'. Too busy covering their own tracks, don't have time for ex colonial genocides and all that rubbish, we didn't start the fire

Mr Robathan accused the Government at Commons question time of being 'dilatory and slothful' over Zimbabwe.

The UK never had a problem intervening when the country was Rhodesia. The Rhodesian government was forced to hand power over and now the country is in ruins. The UK's policy towards Zimbabwe is hypocritical. The British put Mugabe in power, now they need to fix their own mess.

Hypocritical? A slight understatement, yet very predictable.

Perhaps the corrupt dr Zuma, once he achieves on Robert Mugabe level, will be knighted too?

Meanwhile members of the tribunal panel who ruled that "the claimant would stand out like a 'sore thumb' due to his colour in any part of the country,” reacted with shock on hearing that there were in fact a further five million white South Africans still suffering daily persecution.

"We thought that maybe there were another hundred white people left," said tribunal spokesperson Alba Snow. "We were ready to send a helicopter to airlift them to safety," she added.

Snow admitted that evacuation plans had been put on hold after video footage of Patricia Lewis live in Brakpan had been downloaded from YouTube. "The only person that stood out like a sore thumb in that video was a black sound engineer who looked like he was bleeding out of both ears," she said.

She said the tribunal realised they had it all wrong when further investigation revealed that places like Loftus Versfeld, Constantia and the opposition benches in parliament also contained, "more than their fair share of whites."
