> [@Matchka](#): > > Of course, the taxi bit sounds kinda like an _Onion_ embellishment. Actually, that’s the only realistic bit in the whole scenario. South African “Taxis” are not your NY yellow cabs or london black cabs - they are mini-buses like VW or Toyota 10 seaters, with modified to take 15 - 18 people, and frequently packed with up to 20. Given the atrocious train and bus services to Black townships in Johannesburg, they are by far the most common (and cheapest) means of public transport. And yes, big political rallies and soccer matches could have thousands of people transported by taxi. 70 000 sounds a bit much, though. At last, there’s a subject I actually am the expert on! ---

I don’t agree with that, but that may be the reason rappers generally aren’t criticized for using it and aren’t considered to be of one voice with the KKK. People who make that argument, completely seriously, are obviously full of shet. Notice I don’t use the famous 4-letter word, but rather the word “shet”, which is completely synonymous with the obscene version, only it isn’t obscene. ---

It is to laugh, but the scary thing is that those quotes attributed to Whites _could_ have come from some real people - just like you could probably find someone in Mississippi who thinks slavery is still a good idea So are you still living in South African?

The government should announce that Mandela is dead, just to see what happens. Then a few hours later go “Just kidding! Oops! He was just sleeping!” See if anybody’s in the street with guns, shootin’ at whitey. ---

I suspect that the huge majority of the WND readership is located in bunkers scattered around the U.S. Farah is a complete idiot and hopelessly out of touch. (Notice how he blamed it on the Communists? That is _so_ 1987.) ---

All right, I admit I was whooshed as well! I have to say that no matter how important the issue is, it really disturbs me to see the word “nigger” in a thread title…less shock value would be advised, IMHO. Sorry! That’s my personal opinion - sort of ruined it for me. Carry on, then. ---

Ah, those crazy niggers. Personally, I thought the thread title was funny as hell, especially when I saw the thread had 28 posts but more than 1,480 views. Obviously, a button was pushed. This part of the article really slays me: "“White people in South Africa can deny it to the end of the earth, but we are in real danger,” one resident said. “This is no joke and any person with half a brain can see that this rumor has spiraled out of control.” Hmm. I guess that would exclude YOU, huh pal? :rolleyes: One thing I don’t get is what is the big-tie in with Mandela’s death? If blacks wanted to slaughter whites, why wait? Of am I trying to apply logic where it is not wanted? ---

> [@](#): > > I did not use the word “nigger” for shock. I used it because I thought it better represented the attitude of the article. The article’s name wasn’t on your thread. You can express that it is a dumbass and offensive article without being an offensive dumbass yourself. I’ve never understood the rationale that, hey, it’s not _you_ saying something, it’s you _pretending to be someone else_ – so somehow you get a pass on the offensive things you post or say. And you posted it, so IMO you own it. Maybe the newspaper is nuttier than a squirrel bank, but what’s your excuse? ---

> [@Leaper](#): > > So are you still living in South African? I assume you are. Can we in America assume that this rumor is not spreading like the wildfire WND says it is? Even if so, how much is it actually believed? Oh yes, still here. I had not heard this sort of rumour since, oh, 1994 and the transition to true democracy. **None** of it is to be believed, except that there are a few nutcases in the country who might believe it would happen to them, given the sterling example of our next-door neighbour Zimbabwe. It should be pointed out that even there, Whites just had their farms confiscated and were beaten if they resisted, no organised pogrom is happening. Whites in the cities are (relatively) fine, AFAIK **Lizard** , The big tie-in with Mandela is because a lot of people attribute the relatively peaceful nature of our eventual transition to full democracy to his leadership of the ANC/Communist Party alliance. The total lack of vengeance on the part of someone locked up for 27 years on outr version of Devil’s Island kinda served as a wonderful example to evryone, I think. And _of course_ as soon as he goes, that’d all break down 'cos all Africans are savages, really! :rolleyes: Fucking Racists, man, they get on my tits :mad: ---

Maybe the newspaper is nuttier than a squirrel bank, but what’s your excuse?. I said it (or wrote) and I will use the word “nigger” when I feel it serves a purpose. It is not like I am out on the street calling people nigger. Racism neneds to be ended by showing how stupid it is. That is what I was trying to here. If you are offended I don’t care.

Racism neneds to be ended by showing how stupid it is. That is what I was trying to here. If you are offended I don’t care. That’s an interesting rationale: “I will end racism by posting in a racist manner.” It doesn’t have the hallmarks of a particularly successful strategy. It does, however, show that you’re the type of person who indiscriminately uses highly offensive language – and in a thread title, too, where everyone in the whole flipping forum has to read it – and then declares that he doesn’t care if he’s offended people. You came across as an offensive dumbass, and now you’re defending your right to be an offensive dumbass. And be my guess. I never said you didn’t have the right to be an offensive dumbass if you wanted. But that’s what you look like, IMO. If that offends you I don’t care. ---

I didn’t see the usage as offensive. And the poster wasn’t being an offensive dumbass in the slightest. Even before I read the post, I saw it as a sarcastic intro to an offensive news article. The usage reflected the attitude of the post well. I can tell by reading the WHOLE post (that’s the clue there, reading the WHOLE post, not just reading ONE WORD and a having a friggin’ seizure over it), that he was as offended as we all are by racist attitudes. Gah! ---

I’ll just chime in with **LorieSmurf**. How could anyone possibly misconstrue what the OP was trying to do. Before I even opened the thread, I knew more or the OP’s standpoint and tone was going to be. **Jodi** , By characterising his view as “I will end racism by posting in a racist manner”, you are the one being offensive. No leap of logic could justify this interpretation. Straw man. Look what you made me do - I hate that term. Here’s a clue - when I posted above that “it’s conclusive, the taximeters are already running”, I didn’t actually mean that. Maybe I got a pass because I didn’t use the word “nigger”. If so, I officially amend it to “it’s conclusive, them crazy niggers are already saving up the taxi fare”. Sweet fucking Christ. ---

If one has been banned from a message board for being a troll, and one returns despite being banned, one would be wise to not repeat behavior that got one banned in the first place. One would also be wise to not behave in such a manner that will cause the mods/admins to take a close look at one. But then, one would not be Pepsi Classic then.
