A snippet from a Forum article by Ernst Roets entitled 'The truth about apartheid, crimes against humanity and the use of the old flag.'

There is a new tyranny in South Africa. It is a tyranny of political correctness, a tyranny of distorted political thinking. We are dictated what our political thinking should be and if we do not comply, we are accused of evil conspiracy and oppression. The problem is that this very prescribed political ideology is nothing but a house of cards. It is an ideology that was not only built on a distortion of the past, but which depends on that distortion for its continued existence. It is an ideology that can be destroyed by common facts. Therefore, for this ideology to survive, it became necessary that the facts are swept under the carpet and that all kinds of fabrications of the past are being forced down our throats. If we resist, we will be denounced as apartheid apologists. However, to be falsely denounced as an apartheid apologist – despite our own unambiguous criticism of apartheid – is better than subservience to a false political ideology.

#2 ...among reasonable people
Code words for: we were against it anyway and this is a handy excuse.

#3 The whole of "Progressive Humanity" against Afriforum, while Trump and his deplorables are for - good or bad for Afriforum?

#4 Makes a person wonder about every other world leader who had said nothing.

First time I heard of a home having a 'safe room' or 'panic room' was about some white SA farmers who made it to their room yet were still captured and mutilated; the room got breached somehow. This was some fifteen years ago. That is when I figured the attacks were not just about looting.

As I understand it, this petition was the last best chance to stop things from going south fast. Hope it sticks.

Whites are racist - Whites deserve violence - turn in your firearms - racism is against the law - the government owns your property. Pretty easy to see where this was going.
