Political Correctness Curse

The ability of the social media trolls to hunt down and find offence at the most innocent of things is one of the worst aspects of this PC curse ....

One Or All Of These Images Is Now Politically Incorrect

'H&M', the Swedish clothes giant, got into trouble because the little black boy modelled the sweat shirt with the words 'Coolest Monkey in the jungle'.

"St Bono" Oversteps the Mark

When "Band Aid" turned Geldoff and Bono into 'Saints' they suddenly found that they could make pronouncements and Western Governments hopped around trying the accomodate these musicians 'political' views, no matter how one sided those politics were.

This sort of sycophantic adulation can turn any mans head, and I guess Bono can be as easily turned as anyone else cos he's decided that singing songs about killing other people is OK (in context) ..... specifically he's caused outrage amongst White and Liberal South Africans, by trying to justify the singing of the Black African struggle song "Shoot The Boer" at ANC rallies, as like his signing of Irish rebel songs. "When I was a kid and I'd sing songs I remember my uncles singing... rebel songs about the early days of the Irish Republican Army." and that  "We sang this and it's fair to say it's folk music," he told a South African newspaper.

The song was recently sung by ANC "Youth Leader" Julius Malema during his birthday speech , and which is now subject to a court battle as to whether its hate speech under the South African constitution.

Here a copy of the lyrics that I found on the web ... apparently transcribed and translated from the Times's online audio of Malema's birthday speech.

Now I don't know about you Bono, but I don't think these are quite the same as the lyrics to "The Boys of the Old Brigade" are they?


     

AWB Loses Its Figurehead

In South Africa, the right wing Afrikaner Resistance leader Eugene Terreblanche, was hacked to death with pangas (machetes) by two black employees, ostensibly in a row over wages. But in the 'non rainbow nation', the murder took on a deeply political and racial overtones.

His supporters claimed that the murder was fuelled by ANC leaders such as the militant ANC Youth League leader Julius Malema, still singing songs that urged their supporters to 'shoot the Boer' .... this practise was stopped by a court decision, but this only provoked further ANC militant anger and they are promising to fight for the right to carry on calling for acts of racial murder.

But white leaders such as AfriForum youth leader Ernst Roets, say Mr Malema's actions were responsible for the recent murders of several white farmers in Gauteng province. "What we have here is an extreme form of hate speech - it should be prohibited according to South African law. It is simply immoral to try to justify a song like this, to say that is must be seen in context."

There is still much racial division in South Africa, and with the World Cup only a few months away, there could yet be race and violence problems to spoil the party.
