Helen Zille sparks Twitter ire again with 'black privilege' comments | Ethan_VD

Why is she saying this stuff in English?That set off a chain of events with everyone, from PowerFM talkshow host Aldrin Sampear to Madonsela, responding to the former DA leader.

Would you ask of a rape victim"why did she keep the baby?"Don't be that person. I know that you are always up for a debate but sometime you tweet the most hurtful and inconsiderate things. Mmusi speaks of White privilege are you gonna ask him why is he speaking English?It was, however, her response to actor Hlomla Dandala that really turned up the heat.

Dandala was responding to a Twitter user who posted:"Suits are associated with colonial influence no? How about all the other privileged colonial stuff we take for granted, the car, the suit, the cellphone, iPad, bank account, internet, mansion in the burbs, where would you like to draw the line?" Suits are associated with colonial influence no? How about all the other privileged colonial stuff we take for granted, the car, the suit, the cell phone, iPad, bank account, internet, mansion in the burbs, where would you like to draw the line?Dandala said:"You clearly don't understand white privilege. We had plenty technology here that was eroded/annihilated by colonialism. You did us zero favours by colonising us.

You clearly don’t understand white privilege. We had plenty technology here that was eroded/annihilated by colonialism. You did us zero favours by colonising us.Zille responded:"Well, you clearly don't understand black privilege. It is being able to loot a country and steal hundreds of billions and get re-elected. If ppl want permanent poverty for the masses they are going about it the right way.Well you clearly don't understand black privilege.

Ethan_VD Hands off Zille!

Ethan_VD She is correct!

Ethan_VD This old hag is going to cost the DA a lot. She has already cost them a lot at the polls. That's why I did not vote for it this time around

Ethan_VD News24 has it wrong! Helen never sparked twitter ire! Racist Helen pissed off millions of South Africans white and black with yet another racist tweet! Thats what it is!! Call it that!!

Ethan_VD This idiot is the reason why DA will never win

Ethan_VD Ohhhhhh im triggered

Ethan_VD If youre shocked at this you haven't been paying attention!

Ethan_VD Oh no that's racist .

Ethan_VD If everyone catches on to Helen's need for attention and stop responding to her nonsense, we will be rid of her. We will then be at liberty to engage at a sane level.

Ethan_VD White privilege, more like black racism/jealousy

Ethan_VD White people are jailed for saying anything remotely to do with blacks, blacks call for genocide and nobody bats an eyelid. Professional outrage mob at work again.

Ethan_VD Watch MmusiMaimane stand by while Helen Trumpifies the DA. By the way, when is he going to Harvard?

Ethan_VD CoconutKelz.... surely.

Ethan_VD Blacks are qyick to say white priviledge but dont want to hear the words black priviledge and its true blacks are more priviledged since anc took over 25 years ago but they still blame whites for their failures lol

Ethan_VD I guess this a black privilege according to her helenzille

Ethan_VD Shame who the care what she said. Just another liberal 🦇👽

Ethan_VD We must just mute this women . We are giving her too much attention . It’s not like we are suprised that she has superior complex

Ethan_VD Ire or debate news 24

Ethan_VD Dumb thing to say but so is white privilege or any other racist stereotypes. Seems outrage only applies selectively.

Ethan_VD People never learn. This is just to divert your attention from growing and reaching better heights. Actions speak louder than words, just avoide and block her. Simple. There are important things to worry about like woman abuse especially at their work environment

Ethan_VD DA needs to be challenged to deal with this aunty. She is too tjatjarag and disrespectful.Lets see if Mmusi has balls enough to discipline and expel her cause her conduct is uncalled for and perpetuates race as a key factor in the country.

Ethan_VD ‘While Genius may have its limitations, stupidity is not thus handicapped’

Ethan_VD Just unfollowed her. She tries too hard to be controversial and we feed into it. She likes all the attention.

Ethan_VD Sounds like Helen Zille is being attacked by Black Privilege. We need balance. There is some truth in what she is saying about colonialism and apartheid, and thats the balancing point. There was good and bad.

Ethan_VD 🙄🙄

Ethan_VD Her reason is not to hurt Black's however desperate to please arrogant White DA members who flocks to ff+ because DA under MmusiMaimane is too sweet, anyway helenzille must apologized. ne

Ethan_VD She is SPOT ON !!!

Ethan_VD When will she go away? Lady, it's enough now.

Ethan_VD helenzille is venting because of the outcome from the polls. Nothing more this' so not her, this' unlike her.

Ethan_VD Everyboy attacking Zille as A racist, just tel me why can’t people of colour not be racists. I understand racism , as hate for another race.

Ethan_VD Really not useful

Ethan_VD whats wrong with her, is she on a path to destroy the DA. i wonder.

Ethan_VD She is simply responding to Maimane sentiments on white privilege and black poverty. Clearly u Maimane usengxakini.

Ethan_VD Our government must criminalize racism, because whites are not interested on principles of reconciliation and the constitution such as non racialism.

Ethan_VD Good day to my fellow black brothers and sisters who voted for DA how is life after hellen racist zille's tweet

Ethan_VD Oh, the outrage! The truth hurts.

Ethan_VD Helen Zille is soo Racist and she is contagious to her white folks

Ethan_VD This is why DA struggled with the “black vote”.

This monkey is very annoying

Ethan_VD You know what!! this thing is racis finish and klaar

Ethan_VD Look helenzille your idiocy made it to the news

Ethan_VD German immigrant

Ethan_VD So she said something that can be debated now she's labeled a RACIST, a black person says something similar but is taken out of context 🤦‍♂️ if I went into Central African would I be given the same rights/deal as the locals 🤔

Ethan_VD Is the old lady white enough to see these corrupt criminals as representation of black ppl. Some comment are better off social media. She is making it difficult for race relation in SA and across. Looting is there and that's fact but putting color on it is the problem.

Ethan_VD FF+

Ethan_VD I love wat that poet sed she really got my heart pounding.

Ethan_VD This is why DA did bad not MmusiMaimane

Ethan_VD Basically Helen has apparently decided it's critically important to win back the people who left the DA for the FF+ even if it means permanently alienating the people who left the DA to go to it's LEFT. Weird choice since the latter group probably outnumbers the former 2 to 1.

Ethan_VD She is a legend 😂😂😂

Ethan_VD She just can’t help herself!

Ethan_VD What would the outrage brigade do without helenzille ?

Gogo helenzille is just bored, BlackPrivilege 😅😅

Ethan_VD Black Twitter is triggered by HZ's mere presence. If she tweets 'it's a nice day' they will also be outraged. No news here.

Ethan_VD truth shall set you free madam Godzilla, 😂she is showing her true colours now,

Ethan_VD People shouldn't get excited just because it's Helen saying this, prior elections, BLACK members of SAPS threatened to go on strike because of the very same things against a BLACK government, have y'all been living under the rock? c'mon now!!!🙏🙏

Ethan_VD Only whites can be racist jaja

Ethan_VD Helen Zille on Twitter isn't news. Do better.

Ethan_VD Bitter and grumpy old woman...😤

Ethan_VD They voted for them...... I know

Apologise for branding black privilege as licence to loot: Thuli Madonsela to Helen ZilleFormer public protector Thuli Madonsela on Friday called for controversial former DA leader Helen Zille to withdraw and apologise for comments that 'black privilege' was looting and getting re-elected. Yawn. We are slowly normalising the idea that one can go as far as disrespecting us as Africans as long as they apologise afterwards. She must Apologise for wat For showing her true racist colours?. Then we get even after the 'fake' apology? It's not her first btw. She's used to this But the situation on the ground supports Helen's argument, you don't have to take her word for it, look at our SOE's and Municipalities to mention but a few, you'll have a tough & difficult time arguing against this Ms Madonsela🙏🙏

OPINIONISTA: From the Inside: The DA and the ANC took a knock — both require some soul-searchingThe journey away from racial nationalism is a tortuous and difficult one. But I hold on to the belief, encouraged by the result in the Western Cape, that it is possible. It will take longer than we hoped. But we must keep on keeping on because there is no other hope for South Africa. helenzille I agree 100%. What made me reconsider a lifetime of PFP/DP/DA support was the (new) double standard on issues relating to race and the support that gained in the upper levels of the DA. The lazy, self-serving reaction of the woke was to label me a racial nationalist. Enough. helenzille 'The face of privilege has been transformed by a predatory ANC/EFF elite that has looted the country and set us on the road to ruin.' This is worth repeating many times helenzille What a piece. Thank you, Helen. This should be compulsory reading for all. Superb accurate analysis.
