      So you took offence. Unless you are a troll who commits ad hominem attacks? No offence taken here at all. You told Africans to stand up as if they run around on all 4's like animals. Your words ... not mine. Instead of getting a education where you could have been taught not to write offence properly without a capital letter for no reason you went out attacking people online who stand for others from your slander they are not even walking upright.
      And no unlike you I do not use drugs. You are not African. Real Afrikaners all know they walk on two legs and do not need to stand for anything. Cos they already mastered standing up like a million years ago?

      Now I stand with Africa and every human being in Africa who like all other humans on this planet has known to stand up before written history even. You can run around on all 4s if you like like some kind of animal.
