Anywhere in the world where they congregate this is how they solve any argument. People that dont know this is just not paying attention.

You will probably discover thet the farmer reprimanded the employee (black? youth) for some minor misdemeanour related to his work performance.

This is how liberated Africans resolve their disagreements and disputes.

Where is MP Peter Hain now?

Absolutely silent given that the score is approaching 4,000 farmer killings in 17 years.

Not quite going according toe the integrated-non-racial-democratic-equal-human-rights-happy-clappy-rainbow-nation script he promised white South Africans would come to pass.

Well if your grow up with a language that's barely better than grunts and clicks, you don't posses the vocab to discuss things, so you have to resort to other forms of communication.

I sincerely believe that their language which lacks higher reasoning and abstract conceptualizations, has chosen the genetics which allow such a languages to exist.

They are savage, I feel for that family.
