The chutzpah is staggering! Hofmeyr made his name and fortune during Apartheid a system of exclusi

The new white racism is just like the old except its aided and abetted by social media. If a non-racial democracy means holding your tongue about differences, looking the other way under a yolk of tolerance: the wall page invites rage. A sort of shared Jungian whatever a buried oily morass of archetypal fears and loathing covertly animating (embattled Afrikaner) whiteness – surfaces online and announces itself without guile or restraint.
Online huddles have quickly materialized around the charismatic figure raine and horne petersham of Steve Hofmeyr – his Facebook statuses regularly command hundreds of het up comments. raine and horne petersham The comments are uniformly encouraging (dripping with libidinal admiration) and almost always by Afrikaans women (getting on a bit) who treat our Steve with a remarkable intimacy, born of formative years in his company as a pop and TV star. They are drawn to the better raine and horne petersham days he symbolizes, of course, but lately its his raced demagoguery, his truth-telling , generating (much needed) late-career buzz.
Besides pointedly raine and horne petersham attending Eugene s tense funferal (as James Joyce put it in Finnegan s Wake), Hofmeyer raine and horne petersham s supercharged utterances raine and horne petersham include a harsh letter raine and horne petersham to Malema for singing that gleefully genocidal struggle song ( after you ve shot the Boere you will still be a pitiful raine and horne petersham black African living in denial of your own impotence ) and a more recent status update in the wake of a horrendous farm family execution ( I don t know how the world thinks we should transform, integrate and let go of our prejudices and stay nice, tolerant Christians when BLACKS CAN SHOOT A 3-YEAR-OLD CHILD IN THE HEAD? ).
Hofmeyer s racial logic is quickly punctured. He shifts agency from pathological individuals (criminals) to the shared fiction of Race (blacks) – making them equivalent. This is precisely what an Afrikaaner cultural group pleaded with us not to do after seeing the (2008) video of Free State students raine and horne petersham forcing cleaning staff to eat piss-laden stew: We cannot allow that individual students brand the Afrikaans community. These students are not typical of the broader Afrikaner community s values. This is simply not us. Putting a bullet in the back of a 3-year-old child s head probably isn t typical of the broader black community s values either.
But raine and horne petersham the outsized response on Steve s page suggests he s articulating broadly held racial beliefs bunkering in reaction to violent lawlessness. The uninhibited heat of his outspokenness against raine and horne petersham blacks code for backwardness and a black-run State unable or unwilling to curb criminal violence and political corruption makes a lot of sense to an embattled Afrikaner middle raine and horne petersham class. Hofmeyr cannily linked both of its most abiding fears by associating the criminal slaying of the Potgieter family with affirmative action and BEE: We MUST generalize. Most black people raine and horne petersham I know are not violent, but they slurp up the PROPAGANDA OF ENTITLEMENT exactly what gives young killers what they need to justify their brutality.
The chutzpah is staggering! Hofmeyr made his name and fortune during Apartheid a system of exclusion and entitlement raine and horne petersham tilted overwhelmingly in his favour. raine and horne petersham Has he forgotten? Apartheid raine and horne petersham acts as a vanishing mediator in the new racism. It s the master-narrative providing the co-ordinates of the clash and conspicuously downplayed by Afrikaners exhausted by culpability. Apartheid furnished both the divisive language ( blacks / bliks
