What Can We Make Of This Speech? by searay(m): 12:59pm On Jun 21, 2012 |
This is a speech made by former South African President P.W. Botha to his Cabinet members about 27 years ago. It was reprinted by David G. Mailu for the Sunday Times, a S/A Newspaper, on 18,1985. "....We are not obliged even the leastto try to prove to anybody & to the Blacks that we are superior people. We have demonstrated that to the Blacks in 1001 ways. The Republic of South Africa that we know of today has not been created by wishful thinking. We have created it at the expense of intelligence, sweat and blood......We do not pretend like other Whites that we like Blacks. The fact that, Blacks look like human beings & act like human beings do not necessarily make them sensible human beings. Hedgehogs are not porcupines & lizards are not crocodiles simply bcuz they look alike. If God had wanted us to be equal to the Blacks, he would have created us all of a uniform colour & intellect. But he created us differently: Whites, Blacks, Yellow, Rulers & the ruled. Intellectually, we are superior to the Blacks; that has been proven beyond any reasonable doubt over the years. I believe that the Afrikaner is an honest, God fearing person, who has demonstrated practically the right way of being......By now every one of us has seen it practically that the Blacks cannot rule themselves. Give them guns & they will kill each other. They are good in nothing else but making noise, dancing, marrying many wives & indulging in sex. Let us all accept that the Black man is the symbol of poverty, mental inferiority, laziness and emotional incompetence. Isn't it plausible? Therefore that the White man is created to rule the Black man....... And here is a creature (Black man) that lacks foresight....The average Black does not plan his life beyond a year..." What do you make of this speech? |
