Fuel the fire !!!!

Okay- so im no Maddox. But i do tend to write more when im miffed about somethign than when im not.
Heres the conversation, and I apologise for the offensive words:

Nabeshin says:
oh u got the jap flu huh?bet u gotta walk around with a mask.hehe
Brindley says:
totally. They all do here
Nabeshin says:
yeah i wish they would do it here goddam kaffers they germs all over them and aids is there 2!so u gotta watch ur back here in sa

So, its at this point in the conversation my warning sensors go up. Some people use this term (which is the South African equivalent of nigger, only more offensive - to the points its actually a banned word. You can get fined for use of it as it constitutes hate speech)..so some people use this term in jest or jokes. al beit very tasteless jokes. Now, others use this in a more sinister and malicious way. This is an 18year old boy (soon to be 19). He didnt grow up in apartheid- he was 5 years old when the whole bloody thing collapsed. I hate South African racists. Really really hate them. After everything our country has been through for some fuck head to go on about the "blacks" just proves they know big fuck all. YES- the highest AIDS rate is amoung the african populace, YES- the large majority of crime is perpetrated by africans...why?! Because they're black ?! Fucking tit.

Nabeshin says:

i am not a racicst but i cant stand them

This has to be my favourite South Africanism (though not exclusive to) of all time. "I'm not racist but.....I AM!" is how it should read.

Brindley says:
clearly
Brindley says:
and you only need to watch your back if you're not usin a condom
Nabeshin says:
yeah , i just wish they would learn that. Oh well what u gonna do.
Brindley says:
yeah. damn our shit education system and lack of money !!!
Nabeshin says:
dammit this contry sucks
Brindley says:
yeah man! damn those fuckin bastards who thought a segregated education system would work!!

Now, if there are any international readers (which there are:P) that are not familiar with apartheid, basically it was a messed up system that was believed to be the will of God. It was designed to create a social and racially based heirarchy. Whites at the top, blacks at the bottom and the South African mixed race "Coloured" (no- not the offensive American term- this is actually a classification of race). Anywho, the education system was also structured to support this role. ie: no higher education was offered to black students and the subjects they were allowed to take were limited. In addition they had to take subjects in Afrikaans (the Dutch colonialists language) - briefly speakin this is pretty much what lead to the Soweto riots. (very very very briefly)

Nabeshin says:
and i just have 2 leave here. Did u hear what the story is now ?In schools.
Brindley says:
nope. Tell me?
Nabeshin says:
u dont have 2 take english and afrikaans as subjects u can drop and take any other language u want like sotho and any kaffer language

By this stage my fucking blood is BOILING!!!!! But- i keep it calm. Now. ...this silly tit is bitching and moaning because the people in school dont have to do Afrikaans (A: not their mother tongue and B: not useful ANYWHERE else in the world).

Nabeshin says:
sucks huh
Brindley says:
not really. You shouldnt need to take afrikaans
Nabeshin says:
which means sa is gonna become permanently black in a few years

What the hell does that mean anyway !?

Brindley says:

a bit lame about english though, its an international language

Now to test a slight theory of mine. There are things I know and things I assume.
Known: He has Afrikaans family(not always an issue- as his brothers a good guy!), he is young. Assume: He is thick as pigshit.

Brindley says:
so- quick question- you're like 19 right?
Nabeshin says:
yeah turning 19 in aboot a month time y?
Brindley says:
was just thinkin about university and stuff, you thinking about going?
Nabeshin says:
umm i am in colleage


Now for those of you in the State college in South Africa is not a university equivalent. Not near. Its usually a 1, 2 or soooometimes a 3 year diploma course. Not a degree. You cant get into most countries (Japan for one example) on a diploma only a university degree. For most people college is for those that are too stupid to go to Uni. OR that have a genuine interest in a subject (like design/animation etc) that uni does not offer.

Brindley says:
yeah- college and university are two very different things bro
Nabeshin says:
nope wont go not with the subjects i had
Brindley says:
aah, what subjects did you have?
Nabeshin says:
even if i want 2 go i cant bad scores

WOW !!?!? THeres a BIG FUCKING SUPRISE !?!!?!

Nabeshin says:
ummm, english afrikaans, bioliogy, business economics, home ec,geography

Now in SA these subjects arent too bad! Home ec and Bus ec is a bit iffy tho!

Brindley says:
how many of those were SG?

Once more, SG stands for Standard grade. There are 2 (actually 3 but almost NO-ONE takes Lower Grade) grades- Standard and Higher. Standard grade is for monkeys. People that actually cannot fathom the concepts of the subject and have a diluted version of it taught. (I took SG math by the way ! 69% but still better than my 23% HG!!!I couldnt do math!)

Nabeshin says:
all of them, hehe
Brindley says:
really?
Nabeshin says:
yeah

LADIES AND GENTLEMAN WE HAVE A WINNER !!!!!

Brindley says:
well...you know what they say ! Education is the key to tolerance! i see what they mean!

If you ever meet a South African in your travels- and he/she has shit like this to say- find out their background- and rest assured it will be coming from lack of education amoungst other things. This really made me a saaaaaad panda.
