Only a racist can sympathise with Terre Blanche’s ideology, however minute the sympathy. “Liberalist” or not, if one can sympathise with Terre Blanche racism is within you, and I believe this is true of Denis Beckett.
Before and after reading Beckett’s article, I am happy that Terre Blanche is dead. One less racist means one less idiot in this world. It is sad that he was murdered though – murder is a crime full stop. It is sad that our country in which one can be killed in his home. It would have been better if he had lived and reformed or if he had died a natural death. However, his upkeep of his racist ways all through to 2010 make me very doubtful about the possibilities of reform had he not died. My resentment for racism and all who embody it takes over me and I cannot help but think that it would have been much more satisfying to have watched old ET painfully age to his death as he watched South Africa become more of all that he detests so much. This image makes me even happier when considering news of Terre Blanche sodomising his farm workers, albeit allegations I would not put it past Terre Blanche. He was a sick, demented old man. A man ruled so much by his baseless hatred the black race that as much as he hated black people, he did not have a problem with having gay sex with the very people he hated so long as he was able to fulfil the sole purpose of degrading the black man in every way possible. Tshotsh’ufe Terre Blanche (IsiXhosa for “good for you that you’re dead).
As for the AWB ranting about revenge, is the whole of South Africa meant o live in fear because of five or so dumb racists? Come on!

I think that most of what you have said is valid and relevant, however, making speculations and concluding on an assumption that suits you is neither justifiable nor fair. There is a possibility that ET may have sodomised his murderer's, however, it is possible that they may have raped him. another possibility is that they may have been his lovers? One cannot conclude without the facts. Murder is never justifiable, despite the fact that he was a monster and the pain that that man caused will never be forgotten.
ReplyDeleteI think that as the youth of today, we should look forward and strive to heal our country, instead of inciting hatred and racism demonstrated by some of the coutries leaders.
Your commentary about deceased AWB leader Eugene Terre'Blanche is as degrading towards him, as you claim Terre'Blanch is towards black people. One has to be careful when making the assumption that Terre'Blanche sodomised his farm workers. making these allegations is not fair, unless he is proven guilty. To say that it is good that someone is dead also shows a heartlessness on your part. Why stoop to the same levels as Terre'Blanche did?
