Agreed.
The problem is that he is making sweeping generalisations, which could lead to big trouble. We've seen it in Nazi Germany and we've seen it in Rwanda.
The rich money-handler white people are further removed from the poor, hand to mouth living white man than we are. I have more in common with poor whites that I have with rich blacks. He should be attacking all the people who are exploiting others, but he chooses to select an easy scapegoat. Its like people in Alex and elsewhere who chose the foreigners to vent on.
Like I always say, its a cla** issue, much more than it is a race one.
I think it has to do with his comments about whites. He is using a strategy where everything negative is blamed on white people, similar to what Hitler did before the holocaust. Only difference is that Hitler was in power already and he demonised Jews to the extent that people thought wiping them out was a good idea.
Its a bit of a stretch, because Malema isn't only going at whites. He's going at everyone. I think he's overplaying his hand slightly. Will be nice to see what happens in a few months when the ANC comes to Bloem. I'm gonna put in leave here and freelance at the conference. I can't let that go by while I sit in a boring f***ing office, writing press releases and having meetings about which photos work best on my faculties' front pages.
I just skimmed through the article due to time constraints. It brings about some interesting points but it also sounds like the old south african hiphop heads acting "holier than thou" and we been through this before?
Kwaito is almost dead due to house music why would you pick on it now?
Also, I found that the south african hiphop community was very quiet about Andreas Tetane. How are we going to diss kwaito then? Thats just hypocritical.
Concerning Andries Tatane,I do not think it is fair to expect Hip Hop to act on ad hoc basis, that is to say it must say something according to events. I think it is enough (and this is so for any discourse) to have a basic perspective on issues with people being able to use this perspective to understand events. What i mean is, Hip hop didn't have to say anything about Tatane but if people had heard say Sharpa's Hegemony or KRS' Sound of the police and Black cop then they would have been able to understand Tatane's murder as not just police killing a protestor but as an anti-Black state with the popo as its button men killing a Black man.
I don't believe a single thing... well the nigga prolly died ages ago anyway and the americans didn't even kill him
