....I believe drawing parallels between what the Afrikaaners experienced and what the black populus in SA experienced is totaly shortsighted and somewhat ridiculous.

You are missing the point completely. The article is not comparing anything... it only tells about how the Afrikaners managed to pickup the pieces and how they never blamed the past hardships. In fact this has nothing to do with black and white, it is about the struggle against the British back then. For the record, most south africans don't even know about this, because they don't learn about it in schools anymore... except for the CVO schools.
The moral of the article is that Afrikaners should be strong and work hard to flourish again.

I never missed the point and I certainly agree that that the afrikaners did extremely well in recovering from the wars etc however it would be extremely naive to not think that an article that starts off mentioning "blaming apartheid" does not intend to make the reader, if not sub conciously, draw the parrallels mentioned.

Ok, I see what you are talking about and some might interpret it that way. Other's like myself don't see it like a comparison between white hardship and black hardship, but rather a comparison of how things are handled after the hardship ended.
Also, it's not just about black and white. In fact, Afrikaners like myself don't give a shit who runs the county, but when we are killed for who we are; things will change and thats where the trouble starts.

Errr... Not the smartest thing to come out of Jan Lamprecht mouth. If you want something done you don't threaten the action with immediate effect, especially not to a president a man in power. You use a subtle approach with some reverse psychology. Has anyone ever got the result you want by idle threats? I highly doubt it...
If you think by saying you better address this or your lack of reply means you want to go to war then you really have a very ignorant mind.
And how can you speak on behalf of the Afrikaans people? My family is half Afrikaans and my fiancé is Afrikaans, and you think for 1 second I’m going to go to war with my gun and have innocent people killed because we to immature to ignore that big mouth Malema then rather go play cops and robbers with the rest of your friends and stop trying to stir up more racial hatred.
Julius Malema is like a little child, if you ignore him long enough he will get tired and stop playing his stupid games... But if the media carries on what they are doing, and if more idiots like this Jan guy keeps writing articles ‘we’ keeps fuelling the fire of this retard. Why don’t we all play a little game, ignore Julius Malema, turn off our TV’s during any 1 of his speeches or change channels, you will see the TV networks will soon start seeing numbers drop whenever he is broadcast and will think twice about screening anything he has to say in time. And before you know it the papers will do the same, and then Dick head Julius will have nobody wanting to listen to what he says and then he will have no ‘power in the ANC’ and he will get cast out. There are no ‘friends’ in government just opportunists and right now as much as he is a royal prick the ANC is loving the media they are getting off him, hence nothing is being done nor will be done about his actions.
