Ntokozo Qwabe, a Black South African Oxford Law student, left a very nasty tip that began with "We will give a tip when you return the land." to a white South African waitress in a cafe in Cape Town.

"She leaves us and bursts into typical white tears (like why are you crying when all we've done is make a kind request? lol)."


Quote:
He said: "The part where we take up arms hasn't even come and y'all are already our here drowning us in your white tears? Really white people. Wow [...]


Quote:
"Moral of the story: the time has come when no white person will be absolved. We are tired of 'not all white people' and all other bulls***. We are here, and we want the stolen land back."


Facebook has since suspended his account, though he and and the activist organization are promising to continue the fight against her and this act of perceived "racism".

He and his organization are getting huge amounts of support globally for his actions, though it leaves white people divided.

Now his name and actions are forever on the internet.

Anyone who looks up his name will likely think "what a Jack***".

To change the subject.

I hope that you're aware that the word "ass" in the word "Jackass" is not the same word as the word "ass" in the word "xxxhole".

Literally jackasses, and jennyasses, are donkeys. Nothing to do with the human anatomy. So you don't need to censor the phrase.

Calling someone a "jackass" IS an epithet, but its a perfectly clean family-friendly epithet.

BTW in the UK the human rear end/rear orafice is called the "arse" to avoid that confusion we Americans constantly make between the two kinds of "asses".

Racism if fine, but failure to tip is unforgivable.

I thought it was the same.

To be fair, I *did* want to call the guy a:

"Jackass" is plenty good enough. :)

Thats how the term is usually applied: to a person who makes an "ass" of themselves by being sanctimonious in a public way.

I really hate how people like to take out issues that they have with a certain group on innocent people. Like people who are upset about Muslim terrorists randomly harassing people whom they think "look Muslim." Or in this case, a black South African taking out his anger over what some other white people did on some white waitress.

People are just ridiculous. It makes no sense to retaliate against someone who isn't guilty to begin with.

Changes are that one or more of the waitress's relatives has been murdered as part of the plaasmoorde.

But besides that these 'activists' are nothing more then petty bullies.

Failing to tip, or being an a**hole to waitstaff at a restaurant here in the US pretty much gaurantees that the next time you go to a restaurant after being a dick to the staff at that particular restaurant, bad things will happen to the food you ordered before the waitstaff place it in front of you. --I hope the same applies to SA.

When I was of enlistment age, there were job openings to provide security in a collapsing South Africa. The rather-disturbing war crimes, perpetrated by the Mandelas, resulted in impoverished whites and enriched blacks, apparently incapable of maintaining the businesses, where they had formerly labored.

Here is an opportunity to consider executive function, because the materiel and skillset still remained.

Quote:
Two sympathisers, Roman Cabanac of Johannesburg and Sihle Ngobese of Cape Town, decided to launch a fund-raising campaign in her favour. Ngobese, who is black but works for the opposition-run Western Cape provincial government, told a South African newsssite on Saturday that he found Qwabe’s post “insulting‚ racist and disgraceful” and felt the least he could do was to give the waitress the tip she had been denied. He posted a photograph on Twitter of his receipt for R50‚ with the handwritten words “And the kindness is free. F*** RMF!”
He continued: “Qwabe misses the complete irony of what he did. If you want to talk about privilege‚ being a master’s graduate from Oxford and lording it over a minimum-wage waitress is the height of irony. It speaks to the disdain I have for RMF’s claims to being a voice for the downtrodden.” The abbreviation RMF stands for #RhodesMustFall, a hashtag that was first used at the University of Cape Town where Rhodes’s statue was soiled with human excrement by black protestors.

Exactly. I dont lament the fall of a Apartheid, but Apartheid is not the fault of one waitress who probably was born after it fell anyway. It would be like you or I refusing to leave tips in a Chinese restaurant because were upset about the Beijing's oppression of Tibet.

I once knew a robotocist, who had handled pieces of literal spacecraft, yet was forced into menial labor, and a national honors student who became a speedwhore and was testing for AIDS -- both white people.

I particularly thought that Qwabe's Rhodes scholarship was ironic, because (if I have heard correctly) Rhodes, of Rhodesia infamy, enslaved blacks by charging a nickle of property tax. Where would they get it.

If this is really post-racialism, and not just-plain demoralization, they might have discussions on philosophy and the arts, irrespective of their complexion. No example of perfection, myself, this letter is something a poseur might do.

I was raised on the fantasy and sci-fi genres. So, it was irrelevant to me, whether someone is of a different kind, assuming they are moral and intelligent. For instance, in the Witch and the Wardrobe, they are literal animals, yet deserve dignity.

When I see news stories on secular culture, if someone is dysfunctional or unappealing, there is no moralization. They are judged on utilitarian grounds, without protected status.
