NuSAns indignance

Always the easy targets. Misguided, misinformed and gutless are these people.

Walter:

These initiations are designed (I use that description guardedly) to degrade the initiated. It therefor stands to reason that the Heil salute insulted them. And as disgusting as this may be to all of us, no actual black person or anyone else for that matter was harmed in any way by this immature display.

But what do you want to transform the university from, and into what? You lot crying out for everyone to get behind transformation, usually fail to give us a precise description of what the transformed entity will look like once it's been stripped of it's 'whiteness'. A bit like Barack Obama's '08 nomination where he rallied the goggle-eyed faithful with the battle-cry 'Change'. No one stopped to ask what this change would consist of, and what exactly it was he hoped to change. It was all guesswork and airy-fairy platitudes.

But if only you and your supporters would have the guts (real guts, as opposed to patronising the majority against the mores of a minority) to take the ANC's ditty to task. You know the one: Shoot the Boer!

Now that has resulted in REAL casualties, unlike this pretend bruise-easy, indignance that is so easily feigned.

But if it's Change or Transformation you're looking for, why don't you ask the ANC and all their mother-hens to transform themselves into competent and skillful managers and administrators? They can tackle honesty and integrity once they've mastered those basic skills. Leave the silly school boys alone.
