Former white President of South Africa, P. W. Botha, gave a speech to his Cabinet which created a world hubbub – making many intellectuals call him a racist and an imp.
After 30 years of delivering that speech, actions and inactions of modern day South African blacks, seem to have vindicated Botha who died at age 90 – blacks in South Africa are lynching other foreign blacks in the country for taking over their jobs.
Without conceiving any prejudice and biasness, read with all intelligence, what Botha said 30 years ago in Cabinet about black people or the black race.
“Pretoria has been made by the White mind for the White man. We are not obliged even the least to try to prove to anybody and to the Blacks that we are superior people. We have demonstrated that to the Blacks in a thousand and one ways. The Republic of South Africa that we know of today has not been created by wishful thinking. We have created it at the expense of intelligence, sweat and blood.
“Were they Afrikaners who tried to eliminate the Australian Aborigines? Are they Afrikaners who discriminate against Blacks and call them Nigge*rs in the States? Were they Afrikaners who started the slave trade? Where is the Black man appreciated? England discriminates against its Black and their “Sus” law is out to discipline the Blacks. Canada, France, Russia, and Japan all play their discrimination too. Why in the hell then is so much noise made about us?
“Why are they biased against us? I am simply trying to prove to you all that there is nothing unusual we are doing that the so called civilized worlds are not doing. We are simply an honest people who have come out aloud with a clear philosophy of how we want to live our own White life.
“We do not pretend like other Whites that we like Blacks. The fact that, Blacks look like human beings and act like human beings do not necessarily make them sensible human beings. Hedgehogs are not porcupines and lizards are not crocodiles simply because they look alike.
“If God wanted us to be equal to the Blacks, he would have created us all of a uniform colour and intellect. But he created us differently: Whites, Blacks, Yellow, Rulers and the ruled. Intellectually, we are superior to the Blacks; that has been proven beyond any reasonable doubt over the years.
“I believe that the Afrikaner is an honest, God fearing person, who has demonstrated practically the right way of being. Nevertheless, it is comforting to know that behind the scenes, Europe, America, Canada, Australia-and all others are behind us in spite of what they say. For diplomatic relations, we all know what language should be used and where.
“To prove my point, Comrades, does anyone of you know a White country without an investment or interest in South Africa? Who buys our gold? Who buys our diamonds? Who trades with us? Who is helping us develop other nuclear weapon?
“The very truth is that we are their people and they are our people. It’s a big secret. The strength of our economy is backed by America, Britain, Germany. It is our strong conviction, therefore, that the Black is the raw material for the White man. So Brothers and Sisters, let us join hands together to fight against this Black devil. I appeal to all Afrikaners to come out with any creative means of fighting this war. Surely God cannot forsake his own people whom we are.
“By now every one of us has seen it practically that the Blacks cannot rule themselves. Give them guns and they will kill each other. They are good in nothing else but making noise, dancing, marrying many wives and indulging in s33x.
“Let us all accept that the Black man is the symbol of poverty, mental inferiority, laziness and emotional incompetence. Isn’t it plausible? Therefore that the White man is created to rule the Black man? ……And here is a creature (Blackman) that lacks foresight….. The average Black does not plan his life beyond a year”.
To me, Botha said it right! Thirty years on, I agree with all he said about Black people. There is a problem with the black race – it is a mystery! It’s divine.
What do you also think about Botha’s speech – in the face of what is happening today in South Africa? Share your thoughts. Until then…MOTWUM!!
This is what Mugabe is saying about the xenophobia in SA “South Africans will kick down a statue of dead white man but wont even attempt to slap a live one. Yet the can stone to death a black man simply because hes a foreigner”….hmmm asem…i feel sorry for SA…i have always felt sorry for them
This is absolutely stupid. Do white people not commit crimes against other white people as well? WWI and WWII basically revolved around white people killing other white people.
This is the most stupid and most unintelligent thing to say and remind us off. If his argument is that they are more evolved why did the two world wars take place or the cold war. The difference between Africa and the west is simple..Leadership!..human beings are the same everywhere.
The famous Egyptian civilization which is credited for many innovations are benefitting from today including the pyramids of Egypt was made up of black people!not Arabs…black people. The Arabs raided the region we know today as North Africa andcaused the indegenes to flee southwards-that was the first round of slavery before the Europeans came later. So black people are not stupid. What has gone wrong? Leadership. the people who are stupid are those who cannot or refuse to read and educate themselves. How many white people even know about the rest of the world? Well thank you for showing this because that man is a walking contradiction. He is proof of the fact that white men can be stupid and ignorant as well. This argument should be about dealing with foolish people of all races.
Thank you, the white race is the most hypocritical, and evil race on this earth. Yeah, the black race have their problems but leave this earth to the white man and they will destroy it. Africa is the way it is because of our culture, our culture doesnt create leaders and so Africa is lacking in that area. Our laws doesnt seem to work either, 10-40 years ago, white people were lynching black people in the United States. Heck, its 2015 and still happens today. The black race is the most welcoming, open race on earth but see where that led us, slavery which has affected us beyond reason till this day. The white race is not better than any race, leave this world to them and they will die off.
