Verwoerdian Racism

25 years after releasing Nelson Mandela, there is still evidence of deep rooted racial prejudice among white youth. A video showing Four "white" pupils from the Jan Kempdorp High School in the Northern Cape raping and assaulting, a black pupil at the same school with a with a broomstick. The "black" boy was stripped and painted white. After that he was sodomised with a stick, while other . boys watched and cheered them on."  Apparently the attack was blamed because the victim was dating a white girl.  Was it or wasn’t it a racial attack? the discussion has unfolded on South African social media.

Dr Hendrik Verwoerd (1901–1966, Prime Minister 1959–66) was the so-called ‘architect of apartheid’ He had undertaken studies as a psychologist in prewar Germany. There, he became enamoured with the ‘racial hygiene’ theories and policies of the Nazi. What seems to have happened is that such notions and attitudes were ‘grafted onto’ the Bible in an unholy union, with various distortions of Genesis used as rationales to justify these ideas about ‘race’. Verwoerd stated “There is no place for [the Native] in the European community above the level of certain forms of labour.... These theories led to an attitude of white supremacy amonst whites and in particular among poor whites.
