"Violence as a way of achieving racial justice is both impractical and immoral. It is impractical because it is a descending spiral ending in destruction for all. The old law of an eye for an eye leaves everybody blind. It is immoral because it seeks to humiliate the opponent rather than win his understanding; it seeks to annihilate rather than to convert. Violence is immoral because it thrives on hatred rather than love. It destroys community and makes brotherhood impossible. It leaves society in monologue rather than dialogue. Violence ends by defeating itself. It creates bitterness in the survivors and brutality in the destroyers."
Martin Luther King, Jr.

im signing this because we are better than this. life has no space for such thoughtless idiocies and the damage caused over and over again. what we should focus on is being the best expression of human nature and treating every person as such. the parents of those children should be ashamed of themselves, what have they taught their children? why?

I am condemning such a racial festival and I do not believe that a merely written apology is quiet enough to calm my bleeding heart. Down racism down.

I cannot believe this incident happened in the Namibia of 2015.
The KKK is an historically discredited terrorist group.It has lots if similarities to The Nazi regime in The Germany of Second Wirld War era.
The young people and The Newspaper that published the articles need to be shamed in public.Then ; they need to attend a history and cultural sensitivity classes.
I am going to share on multi-media this horrible incident and the actions of the cowardly newspaper that lent coverage to it.
Disgrafeful.

Preposterous as it is disgraceful. This is not part of the Namibian spirit. The Karneval Verein needs to revise their policies towards nation building, not against it,
