[Anti-BVBL] Anti-BVBL » Holocaust Rememberance Day, begins sundown today.: Prior to the rise of that sick [expletive] Hitler in Germany, Germany was, in fact, the only European country which allowed uncontrolled Jewish immigration and emigration and, when Hitler and his thugs rose to power and it became obvious the Jewish people would be targeted (they still had an opportunity to leave), the vast majority of them either would not, or were unable to, leave because other countries refused them sanctuary…including the United States. Few who applied were admitted, unless they had a great deal of money, connections, or family already there.

[Thought Leader] Thought Leader » Khaya Dlanga » Excuse me while I blame apartheid: Well written, Khaya!!I cannot stress the need to talk about race in South Africa.Just like the Jews have not shut up about the holocaust for over 50 years,I encourage anyone who has the right or audacity to call themselves a South African to talk truthfully about apartheid.I frequently work as a Dr. without borders and am often apalled that to the rest of the world’s peoples apartheid is shrouded in mystery.Come on people, out with it warts and all, let us name and shame this monster and please tell the truth.My opinion:White people are scared …less of being equal to Blacks and the constitution now allows equal opportunities to all, at least those who have an education will get a fighting chance.Verwoed must be rolling over in hell because the design was meant for Blacks to remain inferior,hence Bantu education and every other attrocity like it.
