Killing of white South African farmer due to hate speech?

We read:
"A South African white supremacist leader was bludgeoned to death by two of his farm workers in an apparent wage dispute, police said, but his followers blamed a fiery youth leader for a "hate speech" which they claim led to his killing.

Eugene Terreblanche's violent death on Saturday came amid growing racial tensions in the once white-led country and underscored an ongoing controversy over African National Congress Youth Leader Julius Malema's performance last month of an apartheid-era song that advocates the killing of white farmers.

Terreblanche, 69, was leader of the white supremacist Afrikaner Weerstandsbeweging movement, better known as the AWB, that wanted to create three all-white republics within South Africa in which blacks would be allowed only as guest workers.

Andre Nienaber, a member of the group and a relative of Terreblanche, said he believed his death was "as a result of Mr Malema's hate speech and direct orders in the media to 'shoot the Boers dead'".

Boer means white farmers in Afrikaans, the language of descendants of early Dutch settlers, or Afrikaners.

Mr Malema is often in the news for his fiery rhetoric. Last month, he led college students in belting out a song that includes the lyrics "shoot the Boer". Mr Malema did not mention Terreblanche or any other person in his performance.

The song has sparked a legal battle in which the ruling ANC party has challenged a high court which ruled the lyrics were unconstitutional. The ANC insists the song is a valuable part of its cultural heritage and that the lyrics - which also refer to the farmers as thieves and rapists - are not intended literally and are therefore not hate speech.

The irony of this case is that thousands of white farmers in South Africa have been murdered by black gangs in recent years -- with and without any hate speech from black leaders. Blacks in South Africa don't need a song to motivate them to kill vulnerable whites.

This is what happens when Whites follow the law. It's also why apartheid was put into being in the first place. But Nelson Mandela, the internationally-known dupe used by the communist ANC, and his murdering wife, did away with that. Now the anti-White communists are in charge. The farmers need to buy more guns and start littering the land with black bodies. It's the only treatment blacks understand and respect.

Anon, you sound really racist.

While there may be some "black vs. white" thinking going on, there's also been a whole lot of marxist thinking ("Spread the wealth around.") in South Africa, which has apparently been the primary driving force in most of the violence. Such stupid ideas are not particular to any one race.

And in this particular case, there was probably more:

"Terreblanche, 69, was leader of the white supremacist Afrikaner Weerstandsbeweging movement, better known as the AWB, that wanted to create three all-white republics within South Africa in which blacks would be allowed only as guest workers."

It sounds like Terreblanche was on the receiving end of his own kind of racist thinking.

Leave. Salt the ground before you do though. Ask for political asylum in any country that will allow you to grow and be free of racial violence. No one will come to your aid if you stay, not the ANC, not the UN, or even the US. Get out before you have another Rwanda on your hands. Otherwise, you are like that old man who refused to leave his cabin when Mt St Helens erupted in the 80s.

Or perhaps, it was formed to protect Whites from the murderous ANC? And you're right Luke, i am racist, as most "honest" people are, but not nearly as much as the average black.

And take a guess at how many of the rioters were White. Here's a clue: 0

The big problem in countries like South Africa is that the opressed blacks became the opressors of their white minority, and no one calls them on it.

Here's an article with more about Terreblanche. For instance:

"Mr Terreblanche, 69, rose to prominence in the 1980s, campaigning for a separate white homeland and championing a tiny minority determined to preserve apartheid.

He was known for his fiery rhetoric and his white supremacist movement mounted a bombing campaign to defend apartheid. He later serving a prison sentence for the attempted murder of a black security guard.
"

Yeah, this guy was just interested in peaceful defense, NOT. He lived a life of racial aggression, including violence, so it's no wonder that the general atmosphere of racial violence he helped create eventually led to his death. Unfortunately, it looks like it's not going to stop with him.

Apartheid wasn't a good thing, neither is this.

When the black South Africans have either killed off or driven out the very farmers who grow the food that feeds them, then the oppressors will reap the wages of their actions - slow, agonizing, drawn-out deaths by mass starvation. If bigotry is their policy, the wages of that policy couldn't happen to a more deserving bunch.
