WHITHER THE BLACK MAN'S SENSE?

CHECK OUT WHAT THE BLACKS ARE DOING TO THEMSELVES?
When the gun of a crazy white officer mows down a black American or British, the entire Africa will rise up in protest against racism. Now what do we call this sort of man's inhumanity against man, worst of all, black man's brutality against a fellow black man. They call it xenophobia, an intense fear or dislike of foreign people, their customs and culture, or foreign things. In a century and era when the black race is threatened by all forms of challenges for survival worst of all the greedy and corrupt governance pattern of its leaders, Black Africa can not afford this sort of evil and atrocious lifestyle. We cant go on like this. We must learn to change as a people by confronting our fears and weaknesses and those things that often make us feel little, empty and unwanted because these are the things that make us want to take other people's lives.

The foolish and idiotic xenophphobics

Foolish and devilish hatred for foreigners

More Burning

Thank God reprieve has come as up to 5,000 people have taken part in a rally against xenophobia in South Africa's coastal city of Durban following attacks on foreigners as reported BBC today.President Jacob Zuma condemned the violence, which have claimed at least five lives, as "shocking", and called for calm to be restored.

The Zulu king has been accused of fuelling the attacks. He denies this. Many jobless South Africans accuse foreigners of taking jobs in a country where the unemployment rate is 24%.

"No amount of frustration or anger can justify the attacks on foreign nationals and the looting of their shops," President Zuma told parliament on Thursday.

'Beautiful sight'

Protesters marched through Durban chanting "Down with xenophobia" and "A United Africa", led by the city mayor and the premier of KwaZulu Natal province.

Marcher Vanessa Govender told the BBC: "It's just a mammoth show of support for all those foreigners who have fallen victim to the past two weeks of xenophobic violence."

As the march was held, anti-immigrant protesters clashed with police, but were reportedly dispersed by water cannon and pepper spray.

The latest wave of violence against foreigners erupted in the Durban area before spreading to other parts of the country.

In Johannesburg on Thursday, police fired tear gas and rubber bullets at a crowd chanting anti-immigrant slogans after attacks on foreign-owned shops. Dozens of migrants sought refuge in a police station.

Malawi has said it would evacuate its nationals from South Africa and Kenya says it is preparing to do the same. Mozambique has set up border camps to cope with the exodus of its citizens.

'Hate speech'

Many foreigners, mostly from other African states and Asia, have moved to South Africa since white-minority rule ended in 1994.

At least 62 people died in xenophobic attacks that swept South Africa in 2008.

The government-backed South African Human Rights Commission (SAHRC) is investigating complaints of hate speech made against Zulu King Goodwill Zwelithini.

He was widely quoted as saying last month that foreigners should "go back to their countries". However, he said that his comments had been distorted.
