It is interesting that George Croucher has taken the post of his FB page. His post is nothing but a racial attack aimed at the Indian community at large. The responses by both Frank and a certain Royden Barendse further displays the problem we have in South Africa at large....racism.
What's equally problematic is the response by Royden Barendse shows that he is clearly anti Hindu as well.
Personally, I shall be giving these posts as much exposure as I possible can so these racially prejudiced folk can be brought to book.

Yeah George and Royden sound like dicks but read what Frank has written and you will understand what he really means.
The problem in SA is that we too quick to call people racist on hearsay before we actually know the facts.

So Blackbeard I gather you stand by your post as you have posted it for a second time?
So in other words you chose which of his comments you want to believe?

Durbs the Reference to George Croucher in the reply is purely showing that the message was in response to the thread that i opened on FB asking for folk to consider the animals when celebrating last night and does not reflect my views in ANY way...
I cannot speak for the rest of SA but in Umhlanga and surrounds the Bangs stopped at 10PM on the dot and not a single one was let off there after, every single resident adhered to the time limit to the book...

"... a piece of shit race that show how stupid and childish they are that get excited by bright lights and big bangs. Pathetic."
If you believe that this was not a reference to a particular race then you'd believe anything. Apart from the Indian Hindu community, I wonder who else was celebrating with fireworks last night.

Blackbeard: For the record I took it off because it had turned into a racial mud slinging match and I choose not to be party to that, I find it hard that in one breath you find it racially offensive and in the next you are offended by the fact I chose to delete it?? Care to explain??

Once again Blackbeard you are taking things out of context to maybe suit your own agenda? The line you reference was in response to my post which read "The human race has to be the most selfish species on the planet self gratification no matter how it effects both domestic animals and our wild life"...The facts are there to be seen..

Hey Titch, we have to respect that what was posted by FR can be seen as offensive to the Indian / Hindu community.

It`s good to see that Frank was quick to apologise
