"We are facing a disaster in the absence of a crucial social unifying vision of a humane society. The times are pitiless. No vision is coming to save us. Let us dirty our hands with the tactics of the kind of communality needed to create openings into which new rhythms, new language and new modes of being human can be poured."
Words from the speech of the poet and writer Antje Kroge delivered just days ago. BUT how will we do this?..

Three imbeciles representing what is wrong with many white Namibians, but even worse: the press supporting it. Disgustingly outrageous.

25 years after independence and we still see such things? And they expect us to forgive and forget past suffering and yet they are doing such things? Totally senseless and mindless! some of us are tired of sitting and watching people like these treat us like trash. Today it's KKK costumes tomorrow, shooting and killing innocent black people.
"Forgive and forget"! What a load of pure bollocks!

Das muss eine Demokratie aushalten, der Vorfall sollte aufgearbeitet werden. Man sollte die Leute mal in Geschichte unterrichten. Die AZ ist ein demokratisches Medium und auch hier sollte man bedenken, dass die Versöhnung nur so vorangeht.
Warum hat man diese Leute nicht sofort nach Hause geschickt. Ich erinnere aber auch an Prinz Harry in der Nazi Uniform

This is just dispensable for someone to think this is entertainment....they should be punished and the AZ paper too.... if I dressed up like 'Hitler' at any dressed up party, I dont think people will find pitty excuses such as "they are just kids"...

This is disgustingly disturbing. How is this being allowed in 2015? Shame on you all.
