Thread: South Africa thread pulled

Does anyone know why the "warning from South Africa" was pulled? (at least I think it was....) I thought it was timely and well-written but I want to know what was offensive so I don't make the same mistake. (Was it racist? promoting violence?) Thanks.

See your PMs.

I read the article and posted a comment, did I miss something?

In case you have forgotten when the Nationalist Party broke up the largest splinter group then joined into the African National Congress. The article was also framed as Whites versus Third Worlders when a lot of activists in our movement are not White.

Richard, I read the article in a different light. The message the article ran home to me was, that splinter groups (I believe this could be race, religous, or political) that look out just for themselves and their exclusive ends work against a united anything.

LaRaza is such a group. I do not like what I see there. Does this make me anti-Hispanic? NO!

I did feel some undercurrent tugging at me in the article. However it is no longer available to review. I wish it were and then perhaps further comments could have educated all of us to the ills of the article. Censorship just cut out a possible learning moment.

United we stand divided we fall. That was the message to me.

That's what I got from it too Roundabout. Also, that "writing your reps" isn't enough. You have to be aware that those who shout down informed debate will take over the process if no one shouts back. We have seen evidence of this at city council and other public meetings where drums and screaming are used to stifle legitimate debate. It will only get worse if we are too PC and cowered is what the article said.
