No excuse for racist acts

Following an initial embarrassed silence after the racist University of Free State video was released to the media, racist types have regrouped and, amazingly, sought to justify or excuse the disgusting incident.

In my book there is really only one way to live your life: a simple credo of treating others as you want to be treated.

If this were adopted by most people in our country I have no doubt most of our strife would end.

One of the four racist UFS morons who brought shame on our country has an equally brainless father.

One can only feel sorry for the varsity four because their racism doesn't exist in a vacuum. A child will invariably be cursed with the bigoted values of the family circle.

Johnny Roberts' fun-loving dad is reported to have told the press that he regards the atrocious behaviour merely as a big joke, typical varsity fun and games.

I wonder if he would find it so amusing if his domestic urinated in his stew?

Perhaps some of the local university yobs, who have no respect for senior citizens, got his mother drunk and had a hilarious initiation ceremony with her.

Of course they wouldn't use real urine. Yeah, right!
