When you spend a lot of time on the Net you realise why Africa, and South Africa have such a negative image abroad. Most of the rest of the world is "connected" but we are not very interested in the Internet. South Africans use email; kids like games and it seems like the only other time one hears it mentions is when the word pedophile crops up in the same context.
The negative South Africans and the racists - well they gotta get their message out so they are switched on and you find their posts popping up all over the place in the blogs, in search engines in favourites. All I think of is what about all those people overseas who think this is the correct information? They are the ones who then spread the news. They are the people who won't come to visit, who block business deals who write negative articles in the media.
If all they read is the kind of stuff from - I don't know what to call them without being abusive - I'll give you a couple of websites to look at and you decide.
I support free speech absolutely, but I don't support hate speech. I am a journalist and I don't support lies masquerading as the truth in the name of propaganda. And racism - let's not go down that terrible tragic road again! Don't people learn from history?
Judge for yourself and please take action - I mean report them to whoever or write to them or something. But better than that, start your own blogs and websites talking about positive and good things that happen here. Warning, these blogs are scary!
