I agree with you that the more inflamatory posts can be particularly interesting, but I was far more excited to discover some of the really thoughtful posts on many of the other blogs (and in particular, many of the South African blogs. Go SA!)<BR/>I also agree with you, that the song itself doesn't seem to be racist, and I find it interesting that there have been only a few suggestions (none of them particularly serious) that it may be offensive to English South Africans.<BR/>Again, thank you for your comment, and I look forward to reading your blog regularly.choirgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07298814601047612467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8771456.post-30580585067824604572007-03-05T06:36:00.000-05:002007-03-05T06:36:00.000-05:00Hi Nicol, nice blog, I've added you to my RSS feed...Hi Nicol, nice blog, I've added you to my RSS feeds. <BR/><BR/>This post must have taken quite a while to pull together, some interesting links and I think you are right to link to the more inflammatory posts as the conversation on those blogs is often more interesting and thought provoking.<BR/><BR/>My opinion on the song - I like it, the Afrikaners are entitled to celebrate their history and pride in their culture. The song is not rascist.Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09227558738159272264noreply@blogger.com
