A Beautiful Vista Point

Yesterday we went to Kaapsehoop, about 28km south-west of Nelspruit. There is a nice trail through beautiful rock formations, up to a vista point with a fantastic view!

Racism

Very interesting reading!!
Perhaps we should get rid of the term 'racist' all together and just
live our lives...

Michael Richards better known as Kramer from tv's Seinfeld. This
was his defense speech in court after making racial comments in his comedy
act. He makes some very interesting points.
Proud To Be White

Someone finally said it.
How many are actually paying attention to this?

There are African Americans, Mexican Americans,
Asian Americans, Arab Americans, etc.
And then there are just Americans.

You pass me on the street and sneer in my direction.
You Call me 'White boy,' 'Cracker,' 'Honkey,'
'Whitey,' 'Caveman' ... and that's OK.

But when I call you, Nigger, Kike, Towel head,
Sand-nigger, Camel Jockey, Beaner, Gook, or Chink ...
You call me a racist.

You say that whites commit a lot of violence against you,
so why are the ghettos the most dangerous places to live?
You have the United Negro College Fund.
You have Martin Luther King Day.
You have Black History Month.
You have Cesar Chavez Day.
You have Yom Hashoah.
You have Ma'uled Al-Nabi.
You have the NAACP.
You have BET.
If we had WET (White Entertainment Television) we'd be racists.
If we had a White Pride Day, you would call us racists.
If we had White History Month , we'd be racists.
If we had any organization for only whites to 'advance'
OUR lives we'd be racists.

We have a Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, a Black Chamber
of Commerce, and then we just have the plain Chamber of Commerce.
Wonder who pays for that?
A white woman could not be in the Miss Black American
pageant, but any colour can be in the Miss America pageant.
If we had a college fund that only gave white students
scholarships you know we'd be racists.
There are over 60 openly proclaimed Black Colleges
in the US. Yet if there were 'White colleges' THAT
would be a racist college.
In the Million Man March, you believed that you were
marching for your race and rights. If we marched for
our race and rights, you would call us racists.

You are proud to be black, brown, yellow and orange, and
you're not afraid to announce it. But when we announce
our white pride, you call us racists.
You rob us, carjack us, and shoot at us. But, when a
white police officer shoots a black gang member or beats
up a black drug-dealer running from the law and posing a
threat to society, you call him a racist.

I am proud.
But you call me a racist.
Why is it that only whites can be racists?

There is nothing improper about this e-mail.
Let's see which of you are proud enough to send it on.

Joke of the Day

A Zulu man, a Sotho man and a Venda man were all talking about their

teenage daughters.

The Venda says, "A waz loooking for samethink in my daughta's room the

I found a packet of condoms.

"Seriaaasss?"

"Seriaaasss!"

"I was really shocked, ne... I didant even know she had the penas."

Eish...

Crime and Politics

The crime situation in South Africa is well known all around the world, and it seems as if the government is unable to do very much to improve it. Perhaps one reason is that too much energy is used for the internal problems of ANC. And mr Mbeki has possibly been too much involved with "silent diplomacy" in other african countries, causing him to be a bit invisible in his own country.
The populistic candidate for chairmanship of ANC, and of course with ambition to become the next president of South Africa, has been suspected of severe corruption, also admitted to have had "unsafe sex" with a HIV-positive female has explained that he took a shower afterwards! What a brilliant solution to one of the most serious problems of this country!
The political opion of the "maybe" new president, combined with the advise from the present Minister of Health, a.k.a. Mrs Beetroot, is absolutely unbelievable!

Joke of the Month

Mbeki, Jacob Zuma and Trevor Manual were flying together in the
President's jet. Thabo Mbeki suddenly said: "You know what. I can throw R500 out of this window and make someone happy. Jacob Zuma said: "I can throw 5 X R100 notes out of the window and I till make 5 people unbelievably happy. Trevor Manual said : "I can throw 10 X R50 notes out of the window
and make 10 people very very happy.

The one pilot looks at the other and says: "Listen to those 3
showoffs at the back...I can throw all 3 of them out of the window and
I will make the whole country happy.
