“I do not have to be concerned about my history being erased from textbooks. I did not have to create my own culture in this country because I was not brought here against my will.”
What history is being erased? I love these conspiracy theories. No history is being erased, if anything here are more courses which cover non white history then ever before.. I guess youll say next that we never landed on the moon.
Genocide is wrong no matter what race it is. However, as an irish american and having been back home recently, I have met many white africans who have been forced to leave their country to live abroad because they were threatened with death and had their farms and their land taken. That is a fact.

“I am open to dialogue and understanding and furthering my knowledge in regards any subject”

Yes, but they are (unfortunately) not…don’t waste your time.

@Matt and @John,

I read the Genocide watch article and concern they point to is not genocide but rather “incitement to genocide” which is what the ANC government is accused of.

Let me be clear to you all. I in no way support the ANC government in this regard and their apathetic attitude towards these killings. President Jacob Zuma is well known to be a corrupt person in pretty much every regard. I abhor the killings of the Afrikaner farmers and I do hope the international community takes notice.

So John the comment “But I guess in Robert’s world, that’s ok” completely mis-characterizes me or my intent. Injustice, in whatever form it takes, is something I have always fought against.

In addition, I never suggested anyone should have white guilt. John I did not use the word in the letter despite your claim “Instead of focusing on racist terms like white guilt and white privilege…” And what exactly makes the terms white privilege racist? Is is a fact not an observation.

The letter I wrote is much more complex then you all are suggesting. I hope you have seen, by reading the article you cited, I am open to dialogue and understanding and furthering my knowledge in regards any subject.

Two years ago I had the pleasure of meeting a woman from South Africa. She was a white female in her 60′s. She described how gangs where targeting white people and executing, robbing or raping them. But I guess in Robert’s world, that’s ok.

I am sick of this whole white guilt concept. Did bad stuff happen during colonialism, yes. Did I or anyone alive today have anything to do with it? No. I’m not going to feel guilty for something I had nothing to do with.

Instead of focusing on racist terms like white guilt and white privilege, let’s move forward and provide true equality.

Robert has been well-indoctrinated in self-hatred. Very sad.

The international community disagrees, just ask Genocide Watch http://www.genocidewatch.org/southafrica.html

And I am sure the thousands of crosses on hill sides throughout South Africa that are put up as tribute to the victims of the Plaasmoorde are all a myth also right?

As a South African, and having family in South Africa, I can assure you no such genocide is occurring.

I do not see a single other group standing up for the Afrikaners in the midst of the white genocide in South Africa. You may be filled with indoctrination in regards to how you feel about your skin color but as a graduated member of YWC I am proud to say “White guilt is over”
