Upon critical evaluation of this latest massacre of Black Lives, I see 4 elements in full view; however, only 1 is not being critically analyzed. We Black life being explicitly on display in the following ways: Labor, which is the core source of wealth in Capitalism. The law of the land (South Africa 2012) is fully on display in a new (visible) way with Black Police & the Ministry of police being Black. Thirdly, we have the age old report of fraticide on full display. Although mentioned in the article, the owner/representative of the mine, Phillip? He represents the 4th element. He shares not a hint of commanality to the other elements on display. For starters, his name is foreign to all others involved. His position is foreign (The OWNER) is foreign to all other elements in this article. His ability to effect the mechanism ofCONTROL of the LABOR is a direct connection to the (SUB) standards of living and by direct correlation to men massacred at this particular PLANTATION controls the quality of LIVES for everyones connected to the massacred.
In summary, power never accede anything without a demand. That portion of the equation was fully visible; however, they were not properly armed.

The names have changed but it is still the same old game of brutal self-hating Apartheid. The lackey leaders of the ANC are regarded as toilet tissue, useable and disposable to those who have used them. The leaders of the ANC in their service as footstools and paty’s to the master have betrayed, mislead and misinformed other Blacks for whom they assumed representative or leadership status, and now they serve as surrogates in maintenance of the status quo.

It is over due. We must resume Pan-Africanism… Unite in the fight against Colonial Domination. Our forefathers would be proud of us if we did so.

Black is a color-the mind set of an individual is more understanding. To reference what a rapper said is very nice for those who have not the ability to use their own knowledge of life circumstances. The unfortunate conditions of the Brothers and Sisters in South Africa are as if not equal to ours in America-that's to say the killing of a Black Man or Woman is acceptable;and it doesn't matter what color the assailant is. Therefore may we be more conscious of the international genocide of people of COLOR. This weekend we'll see the number of uunknown African Americans who will be gunned down by his or her brother or sister- what about them? Boycott Christmas2012

Some of the shooters were black like me. I guess they felt they had to shoot to stay in favor with their white co-workers. Chuck-D from the rap group Public Enemy said, reminding us of the Malcolm-X assasination, “It was the hand of a nig who pulled the trig”.

The Workers need better ARMS! They and the Youth along the with poor, need to unite as an Black Army and close down the Nation and run out all the Europeons that see them as nothing but slave anyway! The Men in the ANC are lackeys of Western Nation that need to be sent to the grave for treason of Africa/Black People! Africa should not be trading with the so-called West anyway and the leaders in Africa know this! Pan-Afrikans Unite and Free UP! Mother Afrika!

Somebody should be brought-up on charge’s for these killing and convicted. This is the area of The Coward’s, the post 911 era, where cops shoot innocent civilian and Fire Fighter wait at the foot of a burning building while people die from smoke inhalation.
