Ok, here it goes. Nothing. F*all. So why the hell is "Obamania" rampant in South Africa?
On the day Obama got inaugurated as president of the USA, some South Africans went on a jolly little trip celebrating it. Why? Is it because... he is black???? Is it because he is going to save Zimbabwe from Mugabe? Or is it that he will deposit a $1000 into every person's account in the world? I don't understand.
Is it because Obama is black? Yes, I'm asking it. Why did black South Africans make such a big fuss about it... on TV and today a guy at a liquor store. I thought South Africans were supposed to be color blind. In my eyes he is just another human being and was qualified politically and therefore elected as president of the UNITED STATES (not South Africa). Why is it ok to shout black power from the top of their lungs but it is not ok to shout white power (you could land in jail for that)... I think 1 rule for all should suffice.
As I mentioned today some guy tried to talk politics to me in a liquor store - as annoying as that is I wanted to hear just how stupid he is and I was not disappointed. Anyway first he went on about COPE being useless and that they won't ever make a difference in the life of the ANC and then it came... he tried to tell me just how great it is that Obama got elected as president. Obviously by this time I was ready to slap him around for being an idiot, but I indulged his ignorance - then I asked "So, what is Obama going to do for you, a South African?" Mr Idiot then answered that Obama will help Zimbabwe (thanks for telling me what he is going to do for you a South African)... Ok, now, why would Bob Mugabe listen to Obama - especially if he tries to tell him the same thing Mbeki and Kgalema, the AU and other heads of state tried to tell him. Does Mr Idiot think that just because the president of the US is black and has a nice afternoon tea with Bob and asks him to give up "BOB's ZIMBABWE" that Bob will do it??? Now if Obama said the US will invade Zim, like Irak and other countries, I would be impressed... but talking to Bob... ok... yeah BOB IS SENILE.
I know that thousands of South Africans are stupid enough to believe that Obama will line their pockets with some spare cash he has in the White House - since they believed it from the ANC not just once... BUT TWICE. Gotta admire people for believing crap.
Now on the whole ANC glory... you can kiss my ass. The ANC has done F*all for poor South Africans in the last... oh 10 years... so, I think that some South Africans would have noticed. I think that between the DA and COPE we are going to see the ANC losing lots of ground. Eat dust corrupt ANC government.
What have we seen since the ANC came into power: some good things in the beginning. Now it is just annoying to see AA in job adverts - it is time to let go... 10 years was more than enough. Then there was the nice little gravy train for Tony Yengeni. Winnie had a boy killed and got away with it. Zuma is acting like a whore... how many wives does he have anyway... and lets not forget the shower scene oh and the legal proceedings against him. Thank you also for the weak rand! Xenophobia. Should I go on????
Now on multiple wives... isn't it illegal to marry more than 1 person for whites? Then why is it acceptable for blacks? Same country - same law. Prosecute everyone with more than 1 marital partner.
