Crazed mobs of people belonging to a militant socialist political party called the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) spent Saturday morning vandalizing H&M stores at malls across South Africa over a monkey sweatshirt advertisement that the internet deemed to be “racist.”
The EFF is currently the third-largest party in both houses of the South African parliament.
A declaration from the EFF states that the party “draws inspiration from the broad Marxist–Leninist tradition and Fanonian schools of thought in their analyses of the state, imperialism, culture and class contradictions in every society.”
The party has been repeatedly accused of racism against people who are not black.
“We [the EFF] are not calling for the slaughter of white people‚ at least for now,” the group’s president, Julius Malema, said during a political rally in 2016.
Malema has previously been convicted of hate speech for repeatedly singing “dubul’ ibhunu”, which translates to “shoot the boer [white farmer].” White farmers in South Africa are currently being murdered at a rate that many are deeming to be genocide.
The group is confirmed to have targeted stores in Sandton City, Menlyn and Mall of the South — and are believed to be planning to attack more.
The destruction was over an advertisement by the company in which a young black child was wearing a sweatshirt that read, “coolest monkey in the jungle.”
Following backlash over the image being deemed “racist” the company apologized and removed the image from all of their platforms. They also pulled the sweatshirt from their shelves and have said that they will be recycling them.
That wasn’t good enough for socialists however — corrections and apologies are never enough.
Terry Mango, the mother of the child model has also begged people to stop protesting the stores and “crying wolf.” She was present at the photo shoot and saw no issue with the slogan.
“Am the mum and this is one of hundreds of outfits my son has modelled,” Mango wrote. “Stop crying wolf all the time, unnecessary issue here… get over it.”
You don’t think that a leftist group, the third largest political party in a major country in Africa, justifying violence and destruction because of sweatshirt is news?
How about that party’s leader saying: “I’m not calling for the murder of white people. Yet.” Is that news?
“Monkey see Monkey do”
A country full of Sh*tholes!! ANIMALS!! Let’s bring them all to AMERICA!! YEAH!!
Ahh, the Lindsey Graham PG-Rated version.
if the sweatshirt fits...
WASH= what a shit hole
News? Sure
“Breaking” news? Nope.
“Another $$hithole”
Not just another $hithole, SA is near the top of the list of $hithole countries, and it’s been there since the Ni**ers/Mandela took over. It’s a sad thing to say, but Blacks have a dismal record when it comes to “running” anything. I am always left wondering how men like Dr. Ben Carson, Col. West, Niger Innes et.al have managed to break out and become the major contributors to the good in our society. Here in Oakland, CA a major drug dealer died a few years ago, and the “black community” had a parade for him. Go figure.
Africa is Africa because of Africans.....
No other nation has had revenue flows and assistance as Africa for decades and decades. ....nothings changed for long before they destroy what advances they’ve had. Apart from “outsiders” the entire country would still be living in mud-huts.
Another country that we cannot call a sh*thole, I guess.
Rioting happened this morning. What’s your definition of “breaking”?
>>>One reason every white South African who has a way out is leaving.
Trump should tweet that he is considering bringing in a million at-risk people from Africa and settling them in Florida.
The MSM will go wild for the idea.
Then Trump tweets.
“Whites in Africa are at risk and will be allowed to apply for refugee status and settlement support starting in the next few months”
Wailing and gnashing of teeth ensue.
That IS THE TRUE STATEMENT here. But as you can see, the Liberals have some sort of cognitive dissonance when in comes to what I call the “average behavior pattern” for Black populations. And when you attempt to transfer substantial numbers of that population here, you get criminal activity on a major scale. We need to judge people as individuals, but to ignore the "issues" certain ethnic groups have is simply stupid. Chris Rock said it best: "When I go to the ATM late at night, who am I looking for? Answer: Ni*gaz!"
LOL, see Trump is willing to take in folks from shithole countries after all.
The protested a monkey hoodie... by acting exactly like a pack of dung flinging monkeys. LMAO
They have always been first with last week's news.
“I wanna be a man, Mancub, and stroll right into town, and be like all the other men, I’m tired of monkeyin’ around!”
There are a lot more than the 3 you mentioned. But don’t expect to read about that in the NYT, or see in on CNN.
