Claudette Perry from the Global Afrikan Congress (some black elitist group trying to make political gain and money of racial issues... and they spelt Africa with a "k") on SAFM just before 3pm on the 25th of December informing the people of South Africa that Africans can only be black. That means all the white Africans, colored Africans, eastern Africans and any other African with a different color pigmented skin to her own... cant be African by her definition. She was very clear about this point and even informed some old African (white) lady who phoned in... that she was not African but rather european.
Claudette Perry would make the German Nazi`s with their ethnic profiling so proud. Claudette, generally... around the world.. its accepted that if you are from Africa... you are African, or if you want to be African... you are African. Someone from America is not considered Native American... but they're considered to be someone who is from... America! Australians are Australian, South Americans from South America and so on. Its a freekin regional title you silly dumbat... its not a skin color.
If you want to use that stupid definition of Claudette's that only people with great ancestory from Africa are Africans... well there's kinda a technical fluff up with that. Africa is the cradle of humanity, if were going way way back... why just stop where she wants it to stop... why not go further back and include the rest of humanity? The reason why would not use her mind does not go that far back in her reasoning is because she is a black elitist. No different from her white counterparts in the Klan. They see the data and the facts as they want to see them and try create their own little segregated elitist realities and groups to make themselves feel more special. Basically it sounds like she wants Apartheid.
Then Claudette goes on this whole shcpeel about how "Africans" must be "African", and how all culture in the world are being "europeanised" (she uses the word "europeanised in a very derogatory way"). I don't know if Claudette knows how society works. It changes... therefore it evolves therefore it is subject to one of the mechanics of evolution.. that being natural selection.
Europeans came up with the concept of the car... it was a good idea, so therefore Africans (and the rest of the world) adopted the concept, it sure as heck beats walking. We take what is best from every culture and ethnic group which is why we have things like biltong, sushi, the Internet and ubuntu. From the sound of things she wants some type of anti white society... what.. you want all black people to go back to mud huts and tribalism? Should they not so as they are doing at the moment? choose whats best for them? Rather than have someone like Claudette telling them how they should be?
Then Claudette played the Apartheid and Slavery card. She clearly doesn't know how over played the Apartheid card is now and I kinda think her point on slavery is stupid. Let me explain my reasoning on that point. If she is going to play the slavery card, can I not play it as well? Cant most of Europe use the same line any time they deal with the Italians (Roman slavery)? If you use the Bible as a reference you will see Egyptians (Africans) had slaves way back.
Going back to that social evolution thing I was talking about earlier, it has has being ALL of humanities sin in the past to enslave those weaker than themselves. This is prevalent through ALL histories (except perhaps the Aborigines and the Khoi San.. I am not too sure about them).
Over time humanity has evolved mostly for the better. We decided the wheel was a good idea, we decided that slavery was a bad idea, we think the Internet rocks, we think human rights are a good idea (mostly), and were still working on the whole war part of things... but I am sure we will get there. People are people Claudette, no matter where they come from... they're all capable of the greatest acts of compassion and the most terrible acts of evil.
You gotta love Claudette`s comment on SABC broadcasting, she basically said its all european (white rubbish), she mentioned things like the song, "Silent Nights" and other Christmas carols. What a tosser she is... seriously. Why was she looking at the european TV in the first place? Using Claudette's logic the problem is easy to solve. No european TV, no European carols. Voila! Once again she wants to cherry pic whats considered, "european".
However, the rest of us Africans are going to continue evolving and hopefully for the better while Claudette and her racist buddies can go build their own little racist separatist state next to Oranje. To Claudette and anyone else who reads this... I am African. I was born and bred in Africa and I am going to die an African, and if you are going to tell me I am not African, I am going to call you a liar.
Claudette, if you really want to do something for Africa get your ass into Zimbabwe and help Africans who really need help. Don't stop there there's Sudan that's also in a right mess. Why are you spending so much of your energy trying to segregate society instead of actually getting down to where its at its worst and trying to heal from the ground up? Why? Because you are a hypocrite. Too much work and not enough money for you.

Leetest form of linux there is. The primary OS I now use. Kubuntu, Dapper Drake, 6.06 LTS. I really think people should use this as their default OS
For those of you who dont know, I run Kubuntu OS as my desktop OS. With all the queerness of Microsofts Anti Piracy campaign, I have decided to completely leave the MicroSoft world. Sure, I loose windows media player and some gaming choices. However, you do get awsome games like warsow that are completely open source, and LOADS of fun to play. If you are in South Africa, there is a South African warsow server gracefully hosted by Web Africa. When in the game just type "connect warsow.webfafrica.co.za" And you will connect to the server to be able to jam with the rest of us.
I consider this a book that every South African should read to get perspective in their lives. Its honesty is most refreshing and Al Lovejoy`s ability to capture in words the essence of a culture and history of a generation of south Africans is amazing. Al Lovejoy has earned a lot of respect from a generation of youth who appretiate the truth. Thank you Al.
Other reviews:
‘Acid Alex is quite simply one of the most shocking autobiographies I have ever read. It is also well-written, addictive, excellent.’
– Sue Blaine, Business Day
‘Heartbreaking! Entertaining! Intelligent!’
– Erns Grundling, SL magazine
‘Nothing I have read has sketched the scorched social landscape of South Africa’s last half-century with such intensity and honesty. Read it.’
– Charles Thesen, Marie Claire
‘There are elements of Hunter S Thompson, Herman Charles Bosman, William Burroughs and William Wharton. But in the end it is an amazing story told in a unique voice. A voice moulded by pain, a voice honed by a government reformatory..., whetted by the SADF, and sharpened by Pretoria Central.
It is the story of a man who went to hell and came back, a morality tale, a Bildungsroman, the narrative of a f*ckup who found redemption, and the anthem of a lost generation.’– Caspar Greeff, Sunday Times
‘Truly, as Koos Kombuis says, this is “an astonishingly breathless story” … Besides being a great read, Acid Alex is an invaluable record of a type of mania that gripped a certain type of South African in the last quarter of the 20th century. It’s a book that’s going to appeal to many young South Africans who currently have to turn to the United States for their myths of pointless excess, and it’s going to inspire them. Not necessarily in a particularly savoury way.’
– Chris Roper, Mail & Guardian
This book is more than just a suggested read.
In what has to be a remarkable show of insight into the power of social networking, a British Indie band is offering their album free to download off their website. This is one band, that seems to have googled it. It looks like the older corporate models are failing and hopefully the world will not have to tolerate the insanity that is RIAA much longer.
I love artists with scope.
South Africa needs science and South Africa needs prominent scientific voices. Unfortunately, like the media in much of the rest of the world, South Africa's media is not nearly welcoming enough to the skeptical and scientific views of the world. Luckily, we have great examples from the United States and elsewhere of how self-publication through blogs can affect public discourse, promoting science and acting as a counterweight to indifference, ignorance, and gullibility. However, unlike our comrades elsewhere, South African science bloggers are unconnected and not organized. I propose to change that...Read More

I came across this site by Anup Shah that has a detailed look into the causes of poverty. I found some of the statistics he shows to be very embarrassing and a shameful reflection on humanity today.
* Half the world — nearly three billion people — live on less than two dollars a day.
* The GDP (Gross Domestic Product) of the poorest 48 nations (i.e. a quarter of the world’s countries) is less than the wealth of the world’s three richest people combined.
* Nearly a billion people entered the 21st century unable to read a book or sign their names.
* Less than one per cent of what the world spent every year on weapons was needed to put every child into school by the year 2000 and yet it didn’t happen.
* 1 billion children live in poverty (1 in 2 children in the world). 640 million live without adequate shelter, 400 million have no access to safe water, 270 million have no access to health services. 10.6 million died in 2003 before they reached the age of 5 (or roughly 29,000 children per day).
Anup Shah shows us the institutions, policies and people behind many of today's causes of poverty.
