    Wow, that was interesting. I wonder how wide spread that sense of worry is. Where would Italians move too that is better?

    Somalia?
    they speak Italian there, or maybe Libya?

    could it be better than Europe?

    Seems that this thread is all about how to screw up the present and future by hanging on too dogmatically to the past.

    I just want to put a 2c observation into this post.

    I am an English speaking Saffer, my father was an officer in the SANavy and as a family we were discriminated against because my mom who was British did not speak Afrikaans, being Catholic was a further black mark against our name, 'Rooi en Roomse Gevaar', even Afrikaans Officers who were not 'Broeders' or were Catholic were discriminated against, so all I can say is 'This is not pre 94, get over it, move on'.

    Political correctness makes for the prettiest of fools

    In Jan in CT the president stated that SA’s problems started when Jan van Riebeeck arrived in 1652. They also publically sing songs like “shoot the Boer” in 2015 whilst blaming us for all the problems.

    [NB]These are things they say in public, now imagine for a moment what they are saying behind closed doors.

    You guys say that we are holding onto the past, but our government and its supporters are holding onto the past much more and with much more malice and intent.

    The ANC is racist to the core, just look at their rhetoric and laws aimed directly against us, yet when we speak out we are labelled as the bad guy – politically correct madness.
    It is not the strongest of the species that survive, nor the most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change. – Charles Darwin

    Sure but just because one or two BAFOONS make these stupid comments does not mean that we all have to follow our stupid leader. We also have to acknowledge that he is a complete idiot and always puts his foot in his mouth all the time. We have to move on and try from our own personal perspectives to make things work.
