When Brandon Huntley is finally deported we should give him a Caster Semenya-size welcome at the airport. Hopefully with as many blacks as there were when Caster got her hero’s welcome. But I want a T-shirt that reads “Mug you later whitey” just for laughs. He must not be given the satisfaction of getting the hostile reception he expects and hopes.

Let’s face it, he hopes we are hostile to him when he gets back so that he can justify his actions. If we don’t succumb to emotionalism this will annoy him more than anything else in the world. It was Oscar Wilde who said “always forgive your enemies: nothing annoys them so much”. Not that he is an enemy. He is not worthy of being one. We should welcome him as the prodigal son. But then again, is he? When he arrives, will he make a repentant return? Somehow I doubt it.

I must admit, I never saw this one coming: A white guy uses the race card, and surprise, surprise, it works! Clearly Huntley had run out of ideas because he had been staying in Canada illegally for some time after his work permit expired. He stumbled upon a genius idea: apply for refugee status on racial grounds. And it worked. He reminds me of a murderer, who, after having killed his wife realises that he has no defence and the only defence that is available to him is to plead insanity and somehow, his plea wins.

A part of me believes that Huntley may just be an ass, not racist. Just your average, opportunistic general run-of-the-mill ass. He’s tried everything to stay in Canada, get a job, get married, the final trump card — seeking a refugee status. That speaks opportunism to me. But …

… then again I wonder if he really is racist. Why else would his case for refugee status hinge solely on race if he were not? This begs the question: what about the immigration tribunal that heard his case? If this tribunal (the word tribunal sounds so fascist) had any decent legal training I doubt they would have arrived at this decision. What bothers me about this is that fact it was a board. One can understand one person coming to such a conclusion, how did they all agree with him?

A lot of people seem to have missed the point. It was not the Canadian government that gave the famed and now much vilified Huntley refugee status. It was not a law passed by the Canadian parliament or their constitutional court. A tribunal that is given the authority to make these decisions on a case-by-case basis. Many of us are already doing our best to vilify and insult Canada. They did not do this. Just a group of ignorant citizens given too much power.

The people who made this finding have sealed the records of the hearing. The Canadian government is obviously embarrassed by this turn of events, which would explain why their lawyers are studying the controversial and short-sighted decision by the immigration board.

There is no doubt that there is a small section of white people who believe that crime affects white people a lot more than it does blacks. Mr Huntley probably falls under this category. It is also possible that he really wanted to stay in Canada, didn’t care what form of defence he used to stay and if it had to be race based, well he would use it. Maybe he is just an unscrupulous bastard. The kind of guy you’d want to vote off Survivor as quickly as possible.

One of the reason’s the decision was so outrageous is the fact that a lot more black people per one hundred are affected by crime than white. Of course this is not to make the crime problem OK, the government needs to work harder. White people are still much more likely to be employed than blacks. The rate of white unemployment is less than that in major Western powers. The rate of white unemployment is only 5%, so Mr Huntley can’t use that as an excuse for not getting a job. Would this tribunal now offer all blacks that live in Khayelitsha refugee status because of crime? As Mr Huntley stated, “he’s been attacked by blacks”. Well, so have the people in Khayelitsha! What about all the Colombians who are not protected by their government from cocaine lords? Will they too be afforded refugee status? Did they even think about the precedent a decision like the one they made would create? Obviously not. Maybe it was too cold for them to think that far.

According to news reports, Canadian Citizenship and Immigration Minister Jason Kenney told the South African High Commissioner in Ottawa, Abraham Nkomo, that his government did not “necessarily” support the decision.

It looks like good ‘ol Brandon may have to contend with blacks sooner than he hoped. If he really is racist I hope what Chris Rock spoke of happens to him: “If you hate gay people your son will be gay. If you hate blacks, your daughter will marry a black man.”

There is no doubt that there are some who will see him as a hero. Hopefully Orania will welcome him with open arms. He has a bright future over there, I doubt any other country besides the one he turned his back on will ever welcome him.

Do not worry : this is just the beginning, and there will be many other such cases of South African whites, coloureds and Indians obtaining refugee status in some truly democratic and non-racial country, due to black racism.
Remember, much of black Africa still gives standing ovations to Mugabe. And much of black Africa does not consider South Africa a black enough country, black enough for instance, to support the ANC ambition to have South Africa as a parmanent member of the UN Security Council.
So that those few poor loyal ANC comrades who may not be black racist nationalists are in a tough situation. As for those even more loyal ANC comrades who are balck racist nationalists, well, their dirty games are going to become an international hot issue …

Don’t you think Brandon Huntley is a better option to contend with. Just read the Thought Leader blogs. There are many closet Australians and Canadians judging by those who support Brandon.

If the aborigines from Australia would all apply for refugee status in Canada because they perceive that they are being persecuted in Australia and their material conditions are worse that the white Australians, would the same tribunal grant them refugee status?

Similarly, if indigenious red indians from Canadian reserves (or US) were to seek refugee status from any where on the grounds of perceived generational persecution would their case be accepted.

The Canadians are responsible for any lies that are believed in their name especially when those lies say that ALL black South Africans are criminals. Canadians and Australians are the last nations to ride a racial high horse.

Interesting how personally we take this. I think the dude has highlighted a very important issue…racism and dicrimination do not belong to exclusively to anyone. He is like the fiorst woman to walk into a men only club.

The real indignation here revolves around the fact that this guy is white. White!!! How could a white guy steal our lines? Its not his right. Only black people are allowed to cry foul and be refugees.

The fact is the guy may have been a chancer. It is also possible that he did feel racially discriminated against. He lives in a country obsessed by race with a government that deals in race with relish and lives under a constitution that places him on the back seat by law in the job market and many other situations. Maybe some the guys who held him up seven times actually did racially abuse him like you did in your article (mug you later whitey?).

Maybe they said things like “I’ll kill you whitey” while they pistol whipped him. Turn the colours around and a black guy getting pistol whipped and told he was going to be killed by white guys seven times wouldn’t cry racism? Eish, we are so blind to the other side.

Imagine a bunch of white guys pitched up at the airport and with Tshirts saying ‘test you later, Semenya’.

See the other side my bro, its not all one way traffic. The past is gone. We live now.

And think, just maybe, Brandon wasn’t lying? Then they will really all look like fools.

Sarah Britten has had the same opinion that this guy is a total idiot and not deserving of his status and hey maybe you guys are right, but it doesn’t make the crime situation any less real. And one more point, your figures on white unemployment are completely misleading as the majority have emigrated to safer environments and an equal playing field. If they had stayed the unemployed percentage would be far higher.

I think its a bit unfair labelling him a racist because he played the race card. Are you saying there are no black racists in South Africa, thirsting for retribution? And are you concluding that he just dreamed up the attacks he experienced? I think the families of the 3020 white people murdered on farms since 1994 would disagree with you. I think the real issue is that he has lifted the lid and exposed something that no one in government will ever admit to, and clearly neither will the majority of the population.

It was not the Canadian government?

ALL governments devolve their ‘authority’ they presume to have over people’s lives onto an army of unelected bureaucrats.

And yes, ‘tribunals’ and commissions and the like which are officially chartered through such devolution of state power to ‘regulate’ people are indeed fascist, and are extensions of government.

The charter of such bureaucrats and their ‘boards’ through which people are so regulated IS circumscribed by law, in this case Canadian law, and such bureaucrats are an arm of government.

You cannot now try to sidestep by saying Huntley’s case does not represent the official Canadian position because it is deemed to reflect poorly upon conditions prevailing within South Africa, for which our own government, through their administration of the country, is responsible.

Nor is it any business of the ANC to attempt to apply ‘diplomatic’ pressure in order to influence official processes within another country simply because they don’t like how such processes might reflect upon them and the efficacy of their administration.

TlanchTau on September 9th, 2009 at 9:37 am

Huntley may be an opportunistic looser (if you choose to believe his SA detractors) but the jury is still out on the merits of what he alleges about this society.

The fact that proportionally blacks are affected more by crime than whites is simply because of their proximity to their brethren blacks –who also happen to be the criminals!

However, the clear evidence that whites are criminally targeted because of their skin colour is accumulating daily.
It would be interesting to see honest statistics on the added gratuitous violence (torture, burning, crippling bullets in the spine, murder) meted out both on black and white crime victims during “ordinary” crimes.

To be just robbed of your cell phone in your own home is one thing, to be repeatedly burglarized for this, until you can be finally shot dead is another.

And of course whites have more possessions (despite AA and BEE they always will) but what must they do so as not to be targeted with crime? Give it all away to blacks?

The precedent may be worrying –but for whom? It seems that SA is a lot more bothered by it than the Canadian public. They can easily absorb a few thousand or so this way –but if each and every case receives just a fraction of the media attention that Huntley’s does, the ANC government will have mountains of egg on its face.

And it is all their own stupid mistake –they doth protesteth too much.

Khaya - prejudice one: you are playing the man, not the ball. Huntley is just doing what he needs to do to survive. If he was lying then he is guilty of prejudice.Other than that he has not resorted to crime to make something of his life.
Prejudice two:
I dont like your stupid joke in your first paragraph, “Mug you later, whitey”, trivialising crime in South Africa.And it is irresponsible. Based on just the above two prejudices , chips on your shoulder, the entire spirit of your blog is wrong.

Perhaps we are looking at different sides of the elephant. You focus on the race card. I focus on the fact that according to Canadian laws he was entitled to refugee status from SA. This ugly truth is a mirror held up which makes many saffers, especially those in high places, see a truth they do not like at all.Including you, I think.

My Huntley just did what he needed to do without doing crime to make something of his life.If he had a work permit in Canada he then had a police clearance certificate form Canada. He is not a criminal.

People of other colour in SA, I betcha, could also apply for refugee status in Canada and would be entitled to it. THAT is where Canada may have screwed up a wee bit, setting a precedent which a lot of saffers (regardless of skin colour) could follow. Many, many blacks suffer enormously in SA, for example.

Steal from them, because their white. And NO the govenment with all its anti racial campaign does NOTHING to safegaurd the white tax-payers.

I am not saying that Crime is ever isolated to one race or another, I am saying that Crime is currently being tollorated for this reason and that : Poverty, Unemployment, Illigal imagrants. There is always a scapegoat of some sort and the Govmt seem to remain oblivious to our (U & I) nations outcry over this. Then there is a character like Mr Faraday Nkoane, leader of the Uhuru culture Club was allowed to adress a 100 children: He explicitly told them it is never wrong to steal from whites in the subburbs, he infact outright incourages the practise. And herein my argument lies… Someone in power should do something about this Nkoane guy becuase it is people like him that chase away any white person with the means to get away, as well as possible investors. If this guy came to my town with his gang, and I had the chance of getting somewhere else to live and be safe… I;d choose to live and keep what I have. I was born in 1982, matriculated in 2000. My question was this ? Who gives someone aged 20-21 the right to point at me and tell me I stole from him when what I have, I built for myself with no aid from my parents ?

Twannie/Johan -

I’m saying Johan needs to stop using the apartheid “pay back” line of reason. Crime is a general problem in SA, and your race really has nada to do with it. As far as I am concerned, characters like Nkoane, are really, REALLY STUPID! Simply put. There is a small percentage of crimminals who take, specifically, from white people.Its like certain crimminals don’t rob old people, or they choose not to rob women, for whatever reason. The point I’m trying to make is that, yes we’ve all worked hard to get to where we are. Im not where I am because of the colour of my skin or because of AA/BEE or whatever is out there. I went to an excellent multi-racial independent school (pre 1994) so I don’t consider my self a “beneficiary” of ANC leadership. Sure, we would all move to greener [and safer pastures] if we could. You’re insinuating that, as a white person, chances of you being a victim of crime are higher, and all I’m saying is that you’re wrong - we’re all vulnerable, no matter you class, race, or gender. So, lets forget the whole, “It’s because I’m white” notion, and focus on the actual issue - crime.

If Mr Huntley had some formal education he would have been gainfully emp,oyed in sunny SA like the majority of White South Africans with jobs. The fact that he left SA on a 6 months visa to work as a circus attendant and has to work more than 12 hours extra to make money to pay for his ice cold basement apartment says a lot.

My next vacation would be to Canada and maybe Brandon mught serve me dinner or carry my luggage to my room (”,)

“BRANDON Huntley is the new black. Or more precisely, the former Capetonian who is now a race refugee in Canada is the descendent of one Francina van der Kaap, a woman “of colour”, and more than half of his relatives are similarly coloured.”

Some jokes are in poor taste. Since you mention the homecoming of Caster, would it be acceptable joking if alongside your insensitive Huntley joke, you also wore a sign saying “Rape you later, Caster?” The more I read your blogs the more I believe your bio satetment that you know “nothing and shouldn’t be here.”

Azra - thank you for “Mug you later, whitey, just for laughs”. Like Zuma’s followers who successfully threatened the democratic process with “Give me my machine gun.”? Just for laughs, huh?” Agreed. I made a similar remark and got an infantile retort from the author of this piece, which is why I refuse to engage with this author. The crime situation in SA is not something to laugh about. Unless you are a complete fool.

Xabsie,

In Nkoane we have a documented case of a black openly promoting crime on whites.

But he is very mild in the type of crime he is pushing for.
We are only aware of him teaching black children to merely steal from whites.
Of course he may progress to later offer advanced courses, such as how to:
-use burning plastic on white victims
-use hot clothes irons on white victims
-where to place a bullet in the spine of young white women so that they will survive –but be wheelchair bound for the rest of their lives. Etc, I won’t give the rest of the long list -it comes down to blacks venting their hate towards whites by torturing them in all kinds of ways.
(Of course we also have the thousands of “farm murders” etc.)

This simply happens, and surely a statistical analysis of this type of horrific crime will bear out that it is directly targeted at whites and only because of their skin colour.
I am not aware of one single such torture on a black victim. (Only of equally brutal so called “muti killings”. Here we have a whole chain of criminals involved: the person removing e.g. the penis, fingers from a live baby, the “retailer” and the purchaser. “Beastly” does not begin to describe the horrific nature of such crimes….But that’s another story)

@ Khaya Dlanga,
You asked: “Who doesn’t get that I was joking about the “Mug you later whitey” comment?”
Don’t worry, I hardly think that many would put you in the same league as Faraday Nkoane. (You should hope not.)

But “joking”? No, I don’t think it particularly funny and I can think of how to write a long list of such “jokes” supposed to make fun of blacks and their hang-ups. I can guarantee that many of them will be simply removed here under the rules.

(Incidentally, I agree that it may be well so that Huntley’s claims to personal experiences of racially motivated crime need to be taken with a load of salt –’does not detract from the reality that other whites do suffer such crimes.)
