Continue to provoke us at your peril! - ANCYL

The ANCYL says continue to provoke us at your peril: response to Penny Sparrows and Chris Harts racist views!!

4 January 2016

The ANCYL notes the racist slurs of Penny Sparrows and Chris Hart to name but a few racists who've come out of their closet.

Twenty one years into democracy and our beloved nation is still riddled with racists, who see the majority of this country as monkeys. The views of Sparrows and Hart will never be tolerated by us, and in this regard we are more than ready to ensure you shape up or ship out! As a nation we've been far too patient and lenient with racists, who on a daily basis add salt to injury while we try to build society. Our time of begging for unity has come to an end. The efforts of our forefathers who instead of fighting back, choose instead the path of peace are being ridiculed by these racist parasites.

The time has now come for you to understand and appreciate that for as long as you live in Africa, our melanin is all you see when you wake up and go to bed. And since you can't stand looking at our black beautiful skin we advise you to seek refuge elsewhere because we are not going anywhere. Our days of tolerating hate speech disguised as free speech have come to an end.

We do not know whether it is coincidentally that some if not most of the people who make these remarks come from the DA. The question we want to ask to the DA: Is the DA a nest for racist people? We ask this because even some members are complaining about racist undertones that are in that organization. Inside the DA there are lucid indication that BLACK people are ill treated. We call on all non racist members of the DA to come to their home the African National Congress.

Within the confines of the law we will be exploring all legal avenues to deal with your hate speech. And call upon society particularly within the private sector to unmask all racists. Our mothers and fathers who work and are treated as sub humans must come out and report racist incidences. Enough is enough.
