Why do you not answer the question about being targeted in those awful years?  Is it too embarrassing and painful?


Did you not drop the private education, so it is up for examination is it not, especially wrt your flaunted black arrogance?

As for the education or more correctly appropriateness of it in that background or even lack of it, I would not crow about it.

If you really want education for your benefit let me exhort you to consider another African, like Frantz Fanon, and especially his &#039;Wretched of the Earth&#039; and  &#039;Black skin, White mask&#039; .
After that education you will certainly better understand where you fit, in the scheme of an African society.

I suspect these are all pearls before swine but I must try.]]></description>

As I predicted,  I will respond to your predicted stabs.

Have you conveniently forgotten how  you  spoke to some of your tribal buddies(sometimes in the vernacular) about Gumede (and his ill-begotten gains)  or Oasis owners(Bulls connections) or HSM(Safika) wiith much black pride and bravado and  arrogance? Do you recall that spat wrt economy involving HG and X-Kid with input from you that you   mistakenly, but smugly and disparagingly, refer to?

Does it matter whether it is specifically Xhosa or Zulu or Tswana or Sotho or Venda or any mix? To me it is all the same, unnecessary, unwanted, pompous black arrogance.
Can you ever claim you have never exhibited such arrogance here?

Did Mandela not say he would FIGHT against white domination and black domination?

Does Tutu, like me constantly, not speak and seek non-racialism besides him hammering away at black corruption?

Again I ask why the black arrogance, as in your assertion wrt any other &quot;using Biko&#039;s name in vain&quot;?  What have you even ever done to warrant  exhibiting arrogance as you so smugly sometimes do?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[More Transie as Tutu quests non-racialism instead of TRIBALISM!!

{{{  Archbishop Desmond Tutu on Wednesday passed wide-ranging criticisms of President Jacob Zuma and his administration. 

Delivering the annual Desmond Tutu Ecumenical Lecture at the University of the Western Cape, the former cleric, who turns 80 

later this year, strayed far in his speech from the strict definition of ecumenical. 

“I am very fond of President Zuma. He is affable and warm. But I do believe it would have been better for him to have been pronounced innocent by a court of law weighing the evidence, rather than through a dubious administrative act,” Tutu told his audience. 

He then turned his attention to South Africa’s controversial arms deal. 

“And, if indeed there is nothing to hide, the government surely has nothing to fear from a judicial commission of inquiry into the arms deal. It is an unnecessary albatross to carry the huge doubts.” 

On corruption, he warned the country was being dragged backwards. 

“Our country with such tremendous potential is going to be dragged backwards and downwards by corruption, which, in some instances, is quite blatant.” 

Tutu criticised Zuma’s relationship with Schabir Shaik and the Gupta family. 

“It may be that there is nothing to worry about with the parole of 1/8Schabir 3/8 Shaik, but it must raise eyebrows when someone who was said to be at death’s door is shown playing golf. It is worrying when his close relationship to the president is put in juxtaposition. 

“Perhaps the Gupta family would make all those lucrative deals and it is merely coincidental that the president’s son is a beneficiary.” 

He described these relationships as worrisome. 

“It may all be above board, but it is worrisome. I am sure it is all in order, but it is disturbing that there are these seeming coincidences.” 

Tutu called for a return to a constituency-based electoral system. 

“I think the party lists for selecting our representatives have served their very important purpose of ensuring representation for every conceivable grouping in the transition years. 

“But we really do not want kow-towing sycophantic voting figures who are always ready to change their principles in order to stay on those party lists. 

“We must revert to the well-tried constituency system,” Tutu said]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I am coloured,” says Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu. 

That was his response when asked to comment on the row over government spokesman Jimmy Manyi’s comments and National Planning Minister Trevor Manuel’s response. 

Manuel branded Manyi a racist “in the mould of HF Verwoerd” after remarks he made a year ago as director-general of labour about an “over-concentration of coloureds” in the Western Cape. 

Speaking at a media briefing before delivering the annual Desmond Tutu Ecumenical Lecture at a packed hall at the University of the Western Cape (UWC) on Wednesday afternoon, Tutu said: “I’m not supposed to say something about that. I’m trying to not get involved in a way.” 

But, he said, it did appear there was “something afoot”. 

“It is surprising that something that was said a year ago should suddenly come out as if it is a put-up job. 

“For my own perspective, where would I be classified? According to my genome, which was sequenced, I am related to the San people, so I am coloured.” 


Tutu, a Nobel Peace Laureate, said that having overcome apartheid, South Africans should not be turning on one another. “I am very deeply saddened.” 

Tutu said the Freedom Charter belonged to all who lived in South Africa. He said that he, and other older people, were prompted to ask: “What is happening in our country?” 

“There is a pain,” he said gesturing towards his chest. 

Tutu, who described himself as on his “last legs”, slammed racism throughout his lecture titled “The Musings of a Decrepit”, his last before his retirement as UWC chancellor. 

“Racism asserts that what endows persons with worth is a biological irrelevance such as skin colour … It does not tell you whether he is kind or clever.” 


Tutu said corruption would drag South Africa down if left unchecked by its politicians and people. 

“Our country, with such tremendous potential, is going to be dragged backwards and downwards by corruption, which in some instances is quite blatant. 

Tutu warned that people were not fools. 

“They notice things and one day they will explode … What is happening in north Africa is to remind governments everywhere that people are not fools. One day they will call rulers to account.” 

Tutu pointed to the “ructions” in the Arab countries of Tunisia, Libya, Algeria, Yemen and in Egypt, where members of the public were instrumental in forcing Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak to step down.

Tutu wandered from topic to topic as he discussed events which had recently made news headlines. He called on the students who filled the hall to appreciate their opportunity to be associated with this “outstanding institution” as he had done during his 24 years as chancellor. 

Later, while telling a story about Struggle stalwart Cheryl Carolus, Tutu pointed to his speech where the word “carousel” had mistakenly been typed instead of Carolus. He chuckled, slapped his leg and said: “You have an example of my decrepitude!”

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I am coloured,” says Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu. </p>
<p>That was his response when asked to comment on the row over government spokesman Jimmy Manyi’s comments and National Planning Minister Trevor Manuel’s response. </p>
<p>Manuel branded Manyi a racist “in the mould of HF Verwoerd” after remarks he made a year ago as director-general of labour about an “over-concentration of coloureds” in the Western Cape. </p>
<p>Speaking at a media briefing before delivering the annual Desmond Tutu Ecumenical Lecture at a packed hall at the University of the Western Cape (UWC) on Wednesday afternoon, Tutu said: “I’m not supposed to say something about that. I’m trying to not get involved in a way.” </p>
<p>But, he said, it did appear there was “something afoot”. </p>
<p>“It is surprising that something that was said a year ago should suddenly come out as if it is a put-up job. </p>
<p>“For my own perspective, where would I be classified? According to my genome, which was sequenced, I am related to the San people, so I am coloured.” </p>
<p>Tutu, a Nobel Peace Laureate, said that having overcome apartheid, South Africans should not be turning on one another. “I am very deeply saddened.” </p>
<p>Tutu said the Freedom Charter belonged to all who lived in South Africa. He said that he, and other older people, were prompted to ask: “What is happening in our country?” </p>
<p>“There is a pain,” he said gesturing towards his chest. </p>
<p>Tutu, who described himself as on his “last legs”, slammed racism throughout his lecture titled “The Musings of a Decrepit”, his last before his retirement as UWC chancellor. </p>
<p>“Racism asserts that what endows persons with worth is a biological irrelevance such as skin colour … It does not tell you whether he is kind or clever.” </p>
<p>Tutu said corruption would drag South Africa down if left unchecked by its politicians and people. </p>
<p>“Our country, with such tremendous potential, is going to be dragged backwards and downwards by corruption, which in some instances is quite blatant. </p>
<p>Tutu warned that people were not fools. </p>
<p>“They notice things and one day they will explode … What is happening in north Africa is to remind governments everywhere that people are not fools. One day they will call rulers to account.” </p>
<p>Tutu pointed to the “ructions” in the Arab countries of Tunisia, Libya, Algeria, Yemen and in Egypt, where members of the public were instrumental in forcing Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak to step down. </p>
<p>“So I thought to myself, ‘Hey, get out whilst the going is good, before they start toyi-toying to get you out!’ Yuh, do you want to be a chancellor for life? Not on your life.” </p>

Like the nc,nc,nc, sorry I mean  Anc and its government, he never answers the pertinent questions(like the one above about a simple question mark)  which puts him in a bad &#039;scrum&#039; bind and that only. further demeans him.

Are you now trying to deny this &#039;enkwenkwe ncinci&#039;? Then you are clearly lying. And do persons have to deny others they clearly know just to protect your fragile ego? How arrogant of you. 
Have you never been targeted by the tribe in those awful years for being at a &quot;private white school&quot;( and how do i know this if you did not &quot;drop &quot; it)?

Don&#039;t be a DRAG, don&#039;t be a QUEEN, it does not go down well with the culture in the tribe.]]></description>
