ARE those WHO wanted to TURN the SOUTH AFRICAN SECTION into a BASTION of RACIAL HATRED happy NOW?

Some people were more than determined to turn this section into "die laager"...most people left because it turned into a ground of racial supremacy..... are they happy now that every second, every minute, every hour in this section is heavily laden with nothing than hatred and racism?

    Hello Zim,

    I can't really comment on why SOME people feel the need to hate or screw up a good thing but I do know that there are people so unhappy with their life, surrounding's, they actually make it their hobby to set ones alarm clock each night.

    Just to wake up and wonder what and who they bring down with them or at lest try to accomplish that goal! ;-)

    Instead of trying to help or just get along one day, minute.

    Without love we are an empty shell,

    without dreams we have no hope,

    If to quick to hate, it's going to be one long lonely road until you find love and that my friend starts within.

    Within your heart, body and soul....

    Can't we all just get alone..... Wish full thinking. Hm mm

    As for me Zim I stay on this site because I enjoy your postings,

    and have always wondered what Africa would be like.

    Love you take care Zim.

    Aag you know ! The sh!t started long ago ! It was a sad day for me when Poepies left and since then the racial stuff snowballed so fast .....! Then the violations came and is still deleting my stuff.....Face-book is non -existing.....White flag day is gone .....It seems as if this is one of those things that will deteriorate with everything else in this country ! It realy is not as exciting as it used to be around here !

    I hope SOMEONE's happy at least. The SA section could have been a way of helping each other find good music, restaurants, holiday places, etc. Instead, there's the same racist schpiel posted, whether related or not, as an answer to pretty much every question. I'm much happier when I leave this section alone. My only worry is that foreigners might visit this section looking for genuine info on SA, and all they'd find is those guys. Drive tourism and business away by whingeing, and you become a self-fulfilling prophecy.

    I am in the United States and I come here to learn about your culture, your meals, your jobs, your way of life but mostly it is about racism. I realize it affects every part of your lives but it is the only conversation you have. It makes this look like a political site not a social site. I would like to hear more about your everyday routines.

    Zim$, we talked about the very issue some time ago and most of us agreed that NOTHING and NOBODY will get the satisfaction to get us away from this section. It is sad what is happening here but you know what, everyone will eventually see the light. It is a matter of time.

    Just sad when something fun is turned into a political issue I guess - strange how that reflects in life outside of YA on the street....

    Thank God there are still normal people in this section. We shouldnt consider racial motivated people, the best way is to ignore them. These kind of people are left behind people who never learn from the NAZIS that hatred pays nothing.

    Sad to say Zim, there are people in this forum who thrive on stirring up trouble. I am sure you know that it isn't just in the South Africa section, it is in ALL sections. We can choose to react to the ignorant things they say here, or we can choose to ignore them. I get very annoyed at racists comments here as well. However for the most part I ignore them. There are a few though that do get under my skin.

    Don't let them get to you, keep asking your questions. I find them interesting and I am sure others do as well.
