Wilhelm wou weet of blankes in 1900 in die meerderheid was... Dit was darem
nie so nie. Aangepaste (om voorsiening te maak vir weglatings ens)
sensussyfers en sedert 1904 gee die volgende persentasies. (Die afname in
oor die jare in die persentasie blankes beteken natuurlik nie dat daar 'n
afname in die totale aantal blankes was nie. Daar is huidiglik ongeveer 5
milioen blankes - amper net soveel as die totale bevolking van SA in
1904). Die bron van die 1995 syfer is die Bevolkingsregister.
Die hoogste persentasie blankes in verhouding tot ander
bevolkingsgroepe was omtrent 22% in 1920. Sedertdien was daar 'n
voortdurende afname (behalwe vir 'n klein toename net na die tweede
wereldoorlog as gevolg van die toename na oorlogse "baby boom" en 'n toename
in immigrasie) in proporsie blankes in die bevolking. Die grootste
relatiewe afname is na 1960 soos blankes al hoe meer die "Wes-
Europese" model wat betref gesinsgrootte begin volg het. Indiers
begin hierdie model navolg vanaf 1970 en kleurlinge vanaf 1980.
Suid Afrika, in terme van welvaart, bly een van die ongelykste lande in die
wereld: Die gemiddelde inkomste per persoon van blankes is nog
steeds meer as tien keer so hoog as die van swartes, (daar is egter 'n baie
klein persentasie Swartes wat besig is om besonder ryk te word -
die verskille tussen die baie klein persentasie rykes en armes binne
die swart gemeenskap is nou groter as die verskil tussen Blank en
Swart - dit bly egter 'n feit dat bitter min blankes, en 'n
besonder groot aantal swartes brandarm is). Indiers as groep het
ongeveer een-derde van die gemiddelde inkomste per persoon as
blankes en kleurling ongeveer een-vyfde.

Word wakker ou bitter bek. Daar is meer mense van ander kleure wat afrikaans
praat as die wat 'wit velle' het. Hulle sien ook 'n groter toekoms vir
Afrikaans - in 'n onlangse menings peiling sien 20% wit afrikaans sprekendes
geen toekoms vir Afrikaans terwyl net 9% van 'nie wit vellige' Afrikaans
sprekendes dieselfde standpunt huldig. (As ek nou moet sê wie die peiling
gedoen het sal ek moet lieg - maar ek kan altyd uitvind.).
By the way - die woord kleurling word nou in sekere gemeenskap as 'n skeld
woord gesien. Enige iemand wat weet wat 'n meer aanvaarbare groepnaam sou
wees?

And we're to blame because our forefathers were better warriors, farmers

Wen,
Mense het probeer om die farao reg te help. Hy (sy?) stel nie daarin
belang nie, maar maak sy stories net slimmer.
Mense het probeer om die farao uit te trap. Dit blyk net olie op die
vuur te wees.
Al wat nou oorbly, is sensuur. Sensuur is baie gevaarlik. Sensuur kan
individueel (privaat) of kolletief (openbaar) wees. 'n Manier van private
sensuur is om die persoon te ignoreer. Die gevaar is dat die sensureerder
sal vergeet om as barmhartige Samaritaan teenoor die gewonde op te tree.
'n Manier van openbare sensuur is om die persoon deur 'n moderator t
oegang te wyer. Die gevaar is dat 'n skewe beeld van die werklikheid sal
onstaan.
Ek dink steeds dat as reghelp nie wil werk nie, is individuele sensuur die
volgende stap van optrede. As sensuur nie meer wil werk nie, is 'n
voorkomende aanval die voorlaaste stap (3) van optrede. Die laaste stap
(4) is verdelging. Ek wil nie graag by stap 3 betrokke wees nie. Ek probeer

Hello At,
Miskien weet die ander mense op die nuusgroep van sy geskiedenis, maar vir my - wat eers
onlangs begin deelneem het, sou bit baie interest wees om te hoor hoe dit ontstaan het, wie die
mense is wat dit saamgestel het, wanneer, die geboorte-pyne, ens... Wil jy nie bietjie vir ons
vertel nie?
Asseblief?
Klaarblyklik weet ons held net so min oor Egipte en sy geskiedenis as van Suid Afrika.
Wag, laat ek eers diep asemhaal en my elemente balanseer, voor ek my bloedig vererg.
Shame, hy probeer darem lees, maar dis begrip wat kortkom. ("None so blind as those who
_Will_ not see").
Verskoon asb., maar nou móét ek eers so bietjie na Engels oorslaan, want Afrikaanse woorde
ontgaan my -

Wrong! Under the Pharaohs the land was called Kush/Cush.
Sety I was an Egyptian king of the 19th dynasty who campaigned in Syria, Libya etc. The
hieroglyph of the bow symbolized the might of the Egyptian nation over its enemies. 19th
dynasty military expansion is also represented in art by surrendering enemies/captives being
shown as holding their bows above themselves , symbolically placing themselves beneath the
dominance of the victorious Egyptian king. See the image of the captive Libyan in the mural of
Seti I, temple of Amun, Karnak.
The Egyptian word for bow is "iunet" or "pedjet", and doesn't even remotely sound like "Sety".

Wrong again.
Egyptians made a habit of invading and occupying Kush, the earliest record being of King Snefru
(c.2613 BC). Pharaoh Thutmose I occupied it way beyond Abu Hamad, at which point they
decided they may as well incorporate it into Egypt. A viceroy was dispatched to ensure Nubian
tribute was paid to Egypt. Kashta managed to conquer upper Egypt, where Piankhi ruled for a
very short while, before he was forced to evacuate. Nubians had _Absolutely NOthing_ to do
with Unification in Egypt. What a flagrant display of ignorance! The legendary Menes, in about
3100 BC, was responsible for this feat. When speaking about the conquering of Egypt and
subsequent occupation, we can mention the Persian Cambyses, the Hyksos, Alexander the Great
and the Roman Empire, Muslims, but definitely Not Nubians!

This quotation indicates the mind of one who concentrates on the drop, ignoring the ocean. Like
Chicken Licken who screamed "the sky is falling down" when an acorn fell on his head.

Need I say it? WRONG! - as usual.
The only one ever depicted as jet black was Anubis, who was associated with death and the
Underworld.
cf.: Isis - pearly white; Horus - pigmented with red ochre, as was customary for the male form;
Amon, Osiris, Khons, etc., etc., etc., - the list goes on and on.

tula : "Thula" is Zulu for "to be quiet."

The FAK ( collection of Afrikaans folksongs)
gives the spelling as "tula" for "to be quiet." But
the Zulu spelling is actually "thula" for the word
meaning "quiet, silent, peaceful." I am not quite
sure that the Afrikaans "tula" used as a command
to "shut up" is used in the same way in Zulu.
thulasizwe: Zulu for person in authority.
thule: silent, quiet, peaceful
thuli: reserved person
