Either I need new friends (social and real) or this is something experienced by every South African. South Africans have a very irritating mannerism in that, when presented with something that has gone wrong or failed we all say; "So, who is responsible for that fuckup?" We really need to change our mindset and rather say; "Let's FIX it together!" I find it very disingenous of people in power who for years tell business what to do, make the cost of doing business very expensive and … [Read more...] about STOP Playing the Blame Game!

Farg the Racists
I pride myself on being a human being with great love, respect and appreciation for all but recent events have sorely tested my non-racial mindset. In times of crisis it is human nature to lash out at the man, the hidden enemy, the conspiracy theory and even one's loved ones. A uniquely South African reaction to anything involving politics, government, a State Owned Enterprise or every form of conflict is for many amongst us to couch the problem in racist terms. But, someone has to keep … [Read more...] about Farg the Racists

I saw this retweet in the PE Twitterati Timeline earlier: "Liberals do not kill racism, they rebrand it & camouflage it up even marry interacially to defuse & gain credentials as nonracists." What has me confused is: who is 'they', I thought that liberals were nonracist and who is the racist in the interracial marriage partnership - the man or the woman?
