It’s genuinely refreshing to hear someone speak the unvarnished truth instead of peddling a carefully manufactured load of bullshit designed to deceive, manipulate, and brainwash the masses.....
This is the South Africa we should build not one where politicians pit us against each other and profit from our fears. We must put our differences aside, find common ground, and unite beyond politics. South Africa must come before politics 🇿🇦
How squeamish we are in this new geopolitical kitchen. How easily some of us choose sides against our own country.
Last year, when Ebrahim Rasool got expelled because he said the Trump administration was mobilizing white victimhood (a decision I endorsed), some of you were quick to point out the correct place and decorum of am ambassador.
Now, many of those same voices have changed to defending the ambassador, all based on "asks" that should at best be debated. See the pattern?
Speaking of patterns, have a look at this list of ambassadors openly criticizing their host countries, in breach of diplomatic protocols, and against the strong objection from those countries:
L. Brent Bozell III — United States ambassador to South Africa
Charles Kushner — United States ambassador to France
Tom Rose — United States ambassador to Poland
Pete Hoekstra — United States ambassador to Canada
Brandon Judd — United States ambassador to Chile
Bill White — United States ambassador to Belgium
See the pattern?
For many of you, your breathless indignation and your stated concern for the welfare of the country is little more than a thinly veiled, and terribly transparent, mask to hide your prejudice and your selfishness. If you want to improve the country, and by God we need so much if that, do it from this side of the fence.
If you are sincere about this, as most of you are, stop basing your decisions on fear and sophisticated hate campaigns that use you as gun fodder. Fight for your country without being gullible, without oversimplification, without doing further damage

@ChrisExcel102 Whenever a group of other races gather together there's always negative comments made towards them.
Are they not allowed to have separate gatherings?
On March 16, 1968, US troops were raping and massacring Vietnamese civilians including children and babies at My Lai.
Then an American helicopter pilot named Hugh Thompson Jr. saw what was happening — and decided he could not stand by.
Thompson was flying a reconnaissance mission in an OH-23 Raven with his two crewmen, Glenn Andreotta and Lawrence Colburn. Their job was to scout ahead of the ground troops and identify enemy positions.
But something was terribly wrong.
From the air, Thompson noticed bodies everywhere — women, children, infants and elderly people. There was virtually no return fire.
He marked wounded civilians with smoke so they could receive medical help.
But when he came back, he discovered that some of the people he had marked as wounded had been shot dead.
He watched a wounded Vietnamese woman lying on the ground. An American soldier approached her, prodded her with his foot — and shot her in the head.
Thompson was horrified.
He then saw a group of 12–15 Vietnamese women and children fleeing toward a bunker while American soldiers pursued them.
He landed his helicopter between the civilians and the soldiers.
Thompson confronted the Americans and ordered his crew to cover the civilians. He told his gunner, Lawrence Colburn, to train his M60 on the American troops and fire if they opened fire on the Vietnamese.
Think about that.
An American soldier had reached the point where he was willing to risk shooting fellow American soldiers to prevent them from committing more war crimes.
Thompson then helped get the civilians out of the bunker and called in other helicopters to evacuate them.
His crew helped rescue Vietnamese survivors and wounded children.
After returning to base, Thompson immediately reported what he had witnessed to his superiors.
Hugh and his men deserve to be remembered, not because they were American soldiers, but because they chose humanity when others had abandoned it.
While others were killing innocent people, these three Americans risked their lives to save them.
That is courage. That is humanity. This is Thompson Hugh Jr.
