Between; The Keyboard Racist and Orphanages being ‘Too White’ in South Africa for $upport through donations, to a Murdered White SA Farmer leaving everything to children’s home.

Gone are the days where people kept their racist remarks in their thoughts or shared it only amongst close, like minded, friends. In this day and age all you need is an internet connection, a fake account and you can tell someone exactly what you think of them and their race without being subjected to public scrutiny or even the law.

Click on any online news article and tell me you do not see a racist remark left by someone with a fake account. Odds are 99% of the time you will find more than one. The shocking part is that all these people do not even care what the article is about. If Sipho or John leaves a valid thought provoking comment chances are the Keyboard Racist simply look at the name and attack, irrespective of whether Sipho or John’s comment are actually correct. You also get the fence sitters who will like someone’s comment if they agree with something that was said against their own race. In this case all the racists will embrace you as being “clever”.

The point I am trying to make is that racists have it so much easier these days, they can insult you and call you names without fear of reprimand. It also shows the mentality of your average South African. You can log onto ANY online news website and you will find the most disgusting attacks from people from various races, cultures and creeds.

South African racists have become cowards. The days of calling someone a “baboon” or “umlungu” in a pub or taxi are long gone and are now only reserved for people who want to keep their racism a secret. These are the same people that you will find at a yearend function shaking Sipho’s hand and trying to be cool by speaking a word or two in Xhosa and vice versa.  They want to seem “cool” and “hip” but once at home and they see the latest government failure they immediately run to the keyboard and lash out. >>>MORE<<<

WHITE SOUTH AFRICAN CHILDREN, looking for a home too!

Johannesburg - A Pretoria orphanage says it is no longer getting financial support from large companies as 70% of the children in its care are white.

said: “The only answer that the children’s home is getting is: ‘Sorry, you don’t meet the criteria for100% black economic empowerment (BEE),” reported Beeld.

But Van der Merwe said the children’s home couldn’t choose which children to take in.

“To us a child is a child. We don’t discriminate. Here we have 250 children between 18 months and 18 years that need care, regardless of race or gender.”

She said that even though the department of trade and industry had withdrawn the new suggested BEE codes, welfare organisations countrywide were still affected.

The suggested codes award points to companies for their BEE programmes and donations.

She said their income had dropped drastically due to the BEE codes, even though there was an increase in the children that needed care.

  Van der Merwe; A  Murdered White Farmer leaves about R30m to children’s home in his will.

Johannesburg - A murdered farmer has left his entire estate of R35m= =4,041,453.50 USD to a children’s home in Potchefstroom – much to the surprise and delight of the head of the Abraham Kriel children’s home.

At van der Merwe, 68, was killed in April on his farm Bloemhof in the North West. He was unmarried and had no children, reported Beeld.

Van der Merwe apparently once told someone near a collection tin for the home that he would not give any money now because “they will one day get enough”.

Catharien Saayman, head of the children’s home, said: “I couldn’t believe it; I lay awake many nights, every now and then looking at the will on my night stand. We are terribly grateful.”

The money would go into a trust to determine the best way for it to be spent.

Van der Merwe had no link to the children’s home and apparently lived a reclusive life on his farm.

Obama Threatens Veto Of NDAA 2013: Too Many Restrictions On His “Exclusive” Authority

FreeTheNation 06/06/2012

The headlines announcing the President’s promise to reject the NDAA are identical to those published early last December, just a couple of weeks before the President took time off from his Hawaiian vacation to sign the measure into law. Somehow, President Obama was able to set aside his issues with the act and grant himself the power to indefinitely detain Americans without charge or trial.

Recently, we reported how those very provisions — those purporting to give the President the expansive and unconstitutional powers described above — remain in this year’s NDAA, despite the best efforts of a handful of constitutionally-minded representatives.

“Black Pete” tradition grows

Zwarte Piet

Origin and evolution

The first origin of Sinterklaas and his helpers can probably found in the Wild Hunt of Wodan Riding the white horse Sleipnir he flew through the air as the leader of the Wild Hunt. He was always accompanied by two black ravens, Huginn and Muninn. ^[2] Those helpers would listen, just like Zwarte Piet, at the chimney – which was just a hole in the roof at that time – to tell Wodan about the good and bad behaviours of the mortals.^[3] During the Christianization, Pope Gregory Iargued that conversions were easier if people were allowed to retain the outward forms of their traditions, while claiming that the traditions were in honour of the Christian God. Saint Nicolas tradition is one of them, converting Wodan to a Christian counterpart.^{[citation needed]}

 

According to myths dating to the beginning of the 19th century, Saint Nicholas (Sinterklaas) operated by himself or in the companionship of a devil. Having triumphed over evil, it was said that on Saint Nicholas Eve, the devil was shackled and made his slave. A devil as a helper of the Saint can also still be found in Austrian Saint Nicholas tradition in the character of Krampus.

 

 

 

Some sources indicate that in Germanic Europe, Zwarte Piet originally was such a mastered devil forced to assist his captor, but the character emerged in the 19th century within the Netherlands as a companion of Saint Nicholas resembling a Moor.^[4] Saint Nicholas is said to come from the Byzantine Empire, modern Turkey.

AMSTERDAM (AP) — Foreigners visiting the Netherlands in winter are often surprised to see that the Dutch version of St. Nicholas’ helpers have their faces painted black, wear Afro wigs and have thick red lips — in short, a racist caricature of a black person.

The overwhelming majority of Dutch are fiercely devoted to the holiday tradition of “Zwarte Piet” — whose name means “Black Pete” — and insist he’s a harmless fictional figure who doesn’t represent any race. But a growing number are questioning whether “Zwarte Piet” should be given a makeover or banished from the holiday scene, seeing him as a blight on the nation’s image as a bulwark of tolerance.

“There is more opposition to Zwarte Piet than you might think,” says Jessica Silversmith, director of the regional Anti-Discrimination Bureau for Amsterdam. She said that historically her office received only one or two complaints per year, but the number jumped to more than 100 last year, and will escalate much further this year.

In the U.S., stereotypical black makeup — called blackface — was phased out in the civil-rights era. But in Britain, a TV show featuring blackface lasted until the late 1970s before the practice became taboo. Blackface crops up in other European countries from time to time, such as in a theater performance in Germany this year, but it’s only in the Netherlands that it’s institutionalized in the form of Black Pete.

A sea-change may have occurred here during last year’s festivities, when four men were arrested for wearing T-shirts bearing the slogan “Zwarte Piet is Racism” outside a store during an appearance of Sinterklaas — and charged with protesting without a permit.

Police threw one, Quinsy Gario, to the ground, and kneed him in the back repeatedly as they dragged him away, though he offered no resistance. A video of the incident was placed on YouTube, and the slogan began trending.

Although police were later found to have acted wrongly, many parents still felt that it was inappropriate to protest during the holiday or when children were present. Gario responds that Dutch people won’t discuss the matter the rest of the year, so his protest was the only way to broach the subject.

This year the debate has clearly escalated.

WHITE CITY, Ore. Hispanic gangs fear they will be blamed for what the ‘white gangs’ do.

WHITE CITY, Ore. — Ernest Drown has seen gang activity from Surenos and “white power” gangs in his neighborhood.

He gave News 10 some video and pictures of gang vandalism on fences, a playground, a boat and even on a parked ice cream truck.

However, Drown says not all the tags are coming from Latinos.

“The white power are actually making the tagging look like hispanic writing.” he said. “They cause problems with some of the very very nice hispanic men that are just trying to get an education. They’ll beat these kids into the ground, just for the color of their skin.”

Drown contacted local and state authorities, but he doesn’t think enough has been done to stop the vandalism, drug use and other crimes which he says occur almost daily in his neighborhood. It’s unknown if white power gangs are exclusively connected.

Medford Police have officially documented four kinds of Caucasian gangs. Three of them are known to be white supremacists; namely the Nazi Low Riders, Peckerwood and European Kindred.  They can be identified by a swastika or two lightning bolts.

Drown has seen those types of tags, but he’s also seen white kids make graffiti for predominantly Latino gangs, like the Varrio Dub Flats (VDF). According to the Medford Area Gang and Drug Enforcement team, it’s common for Caucasion boys to be jumped into Hispanic gangs.

Sergeant Kevin Walruff said white supremacists account for less than one percent of gang activity in Jackson County.

Seriously America, and TV viewers around the world are you that petty and bored with your own lives; to stoop to this and call it entertainment?

Discovery Channel (formerly The Discovery Channel) is an Americansatellite and cable specialty channel (also delivered via IPTV, terrestrial television and internet television in other parts of the world), founded by John Hendricks and distributed by Discovery Communications. It is a publicly traded company run by CEO David Zaslav. It provides documentary television programming focused primarily on popular science, technology, and history. In the U.S., the programming for the main Discovery network is primarily focused on reality television themes, such as speculative investigation (with shows such as MythBusters,Unsolved History, and Best Evidence), automobiles, and occupations (Dirty Jobs and Deadliest Catch); it also features documentaries specifically aimed at families and younger audiences.

RFID

In August 2008 it was reported by The Consumerist that Discovery Channel had stopped their popular MythBustersprogram from airing an episode examining RFID security in regard to its implementation in credit cards because the episode would upset credit card companies, who are major advertisers on Discovery Channel.^[17] It was later determined that the decision not to investigate the issue was made by Beyond Productions, the MythBusters production company, and was not made by Discovery Channel or their advertising department. SOURCE

‘Amish Mafia’ is a shameful, unrealistic portrayal of plain people

By Michael Shank

If anyone thinks that the Discovery Channel is about actual discovery of, say, science, history, space, or tech, as their Web site claims, think again. Or if you think that its sister company, The Learning Channel (TLC), is about learning new insight or information, you are mistaken.After TLC’s first run of the reality television show “Breaking Amish,” with paid persons assuming the roles of rebellious ex-Amish, the Discovery Channel has produced a more scripted “Amish Mafia,” admitting on their site that scenes are reenacted.  The show, which airs in early December, brags a behind-the-scenes “first-ever look at the men who protect and maintain peace and order within the Amish.”

Meet Rabbi Shmuley Boteach

Don’t get me wrong, there’s plenty to shed light on in any closed religious community, especially those with patriarchal tendencies, like some, but certainly not all, Amish and Mennonite communities.  Physical and sexual abuse, mental disabilities, and obsessive-compulsive disorders are not uncommon, for example. Furthermore, I’ve long wondered why America’s touristic and tokenized fascination with Amish-Mennonites prevents scrutiny of the veiling of their women in a way that is not present when scrutinizing women of other faith, notably Muslim women.

There is a deep contradiction in America.  Women in Amish Mennonite communities that wear bonnets, coverings, etc., go unnoticed – by the liberal feminist eye – while Muslim women of equal cloth covering get castigated for being oppressed.

They are wrong. The only thing that makes this endeavor a “first-ever” is that it’s perhaps the most offensive production yet from Hollywood regarding Amish people, after a long litany of offenses, from “Kingpin,” “For Richer or Poorer,” “Amish in the City,” “Deadly Blessing” and “Witness” among many others.  Unfortunately, this trend of Amish and Mennonite mockery is nothing new.  Since their Christian faith doesn’t support “graven images” (see the Ten Commandments), and since the Amish prioritize humility and view pride as a threat to community harmony, you won’t see Amish spokespersons appearing before the press to defend their culture from a Discovery or Learning Channel attack. For Hollywood, then, they make for easy attack and a prime target.

But this December, American audiences will not discover or learn anything about that.  No, they’re learning about a supposed Amish mafia — made up of boys, mind you, just look at the promotional pictures — that are supposedly, according to Discovery’s Web site, protecting vulnerable Lancaster, Pa., after a school shooting in 2006, by a non-Amish milk truck driver, killed five young Amish girls and seriously injured five more.

This is where the show becomes grotesquely offensive because here especially it veers completely off base.  After the shootings, which were deplorable and deeply saddening, the community came together in a remarkable show of reconciliation and forgiveness.  MORE
