    Please read what I previously wrote carefully and comprehensively. ".... the whole "racial superiority" touted by the Dutch, British, Portuguese is severely hypocritical ". Nothing there is propounding "racial inferiority" of whites. YOU rattled off atrocities by other races/ethnicities as a comparison in some attempt to counter my previous posts. I just pointed out that the folk you are defending "...did the same and far worse regarding colonialism/imperialism/slavery". A matter of fact, a matter of history regardless whether you like it, agree to it or not. Deal with it.

    Or as the saying goes, "you are entitled to your own opinion, not to your own facts."

    yeah, right...like they did in Rhodesia. GMAFB! The anti-Apartheid move from decent folk within Britain didn't come until how many years after the Brit govt ran/supported S.A.? International divestment helped a whole lot, and the ANC wasn't exactly by standers.

    You can spin it and whip up as much smokescreen and repositioning of the goal post as much as you like but the Afikaaners were NOT colonialists nor did they "fight tooth and nail" against the Nazis. Your convictions are based upon a lack of South Africa historical knowledge and your imagination to fill in the missing gaps of what you don't understand.

    The rift was officially established at the time of UDI in 1965. As I recall, the only diplomatic legations after that were Switzerland, Greece, and the R.S.A.

    Historical FACTS are not "spin"....that is what YOU are doing for some bizarre reason that escapes rational thought. TFB if you don't like the heinous history of Apartheid South Africa, or the role your Dutch brethren played in...it happened. What you are doing now is grasping at straws, thinking that if you disprove one point I make it'll disprove everything I've said. You failed, your insipid stubbornness non-withstanding. Clearly to the rational reader you have a problem in dealing with the documented history of Caucasian racism, colonialism and imperialism. Tough cookies, it's a matter of fact and history. As I said before, this doesn't excuse other similar atrocities by non-white folk over the centuries, but it doesn't excuse Apartheid South Africa, nor does it disprove my original point regarding lame attempts to excuse or justify Nazism and similar ideologies. Carry on.

    What you "recall" and what actually happens in history vary a great degree, as shown by our previous encounter. Like it or not, England was a staunch supporter for apartheid for 50 years straight, and even after the "rift" blocked key sanctions along with the USA for years. A matter of history a matter of fact that you can try and spin to no avail.

    You have no idea what you are talking about, no idea what I said, and no idea who you are talking to. You are merely squandering oxygen.

    Translation: Bobbie can't logically or factually refute or disprove the information in the links I provided that contradict his assertions and declarations, you he throws out this lame, frustrated retort. He's done, and I leave him to have the last predictable retort.

    Yep...it's done during disagreements, then debate then determining if all the information is looked at and who is correct in the logical conclusion from that information. If you blow smoke or ignore facts that you don't like, I call you on it regardless of political affiliation or leaning. Thing is, this site is rift with right wing die hards and hard liners. Just saying.

    Yeah, you're just saying stuff, like D. Trump and B. Obama. As I thought.

    There is no exposure going on there. It's all bubble bounce - nothing going in and a delusional belief that imagined knowledge is going out.

    Seems you're not interested in my answer....you're just pissed that I can accurately dismantled the right wing rhetoric of your like minded brethren on this thread and this site in general. But, it you're incapable of understanding my posts and responses, we can discuss clarification.

    So my posts are deleted because I used a term "blowhard" to describe some responses...yet I see all types of labels being used that signify the same thing. Once again, the bias of some monitors rears its ugly head. Sad, but not unexpected.

    So you're not interested in a rational, fact based discussion....just childish accusation and bantering. I'm not, so we're done here.
