I'm not sure why you think it's offensive that someone defend themselves. Seems pretty common sense to me.

I don't think it is offensive, I think it is necessary. The government doesn't like it. Apparently whites who defend themselves are fascist while blacks are freedom fighters.

Why is it so obsessed? Because it reminds them of the Civil Rights movement - with their paranoid fears of "blacks wanting to get back at whitey".That canard about blacks trying to take white land in South Africa's been floating around for years. In the end, it's about whites accustomed to privilege losing a good bit of it, due to having to re-learn what actual fairness toward others is.

I guess that proves a president still isn't a saint even after he drives down inflation and unemployment, returns to a "muscular" foreign policy, and kicking Soviet ass in the Cold War. Reagan just swallowed too much right wing propaganda that equates ANY deviation from 'traditional values' as "communism". The Apartheid regime pulled the same trick in the 80s that the White Citizens Council (among others) pulled in the 60s: Back us or communists will take over. We saw how that went both times.

So why dont you justify giving what you own to the native American tribes? You know, someone actually lived where you live now. Is the native American justified if he or she uses violence to take what you own?

Facts.......... The GRASSROOTS and the rest of the civilized world helped topple the Apartheid regime. Our Gov supported the regime and the CIA found Mandela and delivered him to the regime as well as killing and dismembering African leaders who preached pan Africanism.

Justification is always subjective. The Native Americans surrendered. It's funny. I bet you supported the IRA when they were bombing and maiming the British.......

Pan Africanism is a joke. The elites who run the African economies are terrified of losing power, status and privilege and most certainly dont want to voluntarily give up power without a fight. The reason so many African countries are growing economically is precisely the opposite of pan Africanism. Its because elites fear the economic power of their neighbors and a future invasion, so they are forced to open up for reforms and progress to fund a stronger military.

The apartheid regime ended right after the Soviet Union collapsed, because the threat was then over.
