‘Black diamond’ basically means you’re a ‘better kaffir’, says McKenzie

Controversial businessman, politician and author Gayton McKenzie took to Twitter on Thursday to discuss “white monopoly capital” and how blacks were being “taken as economic fools” in their country.

“Our race is not a market leader in any industry, we are spectators of whites making real money. Our ministers are hard at work for whites,” he wrote.

“A Swiss company is making billions from SAA, something that could have been given to upcoming Blacks,” said McKenzie.

We should stop blaming WMC, they don't write the rules & make the laws, we should start blaming ANC

In a series of tweets, McKenzie said that, contrary to popular belief, those saying there was no such a thing white monopoly capital did not hate President Jacob Zuma, but hated the radical economic transformation he was planning to bring before his term ended.

“President Jacob Zuma is late but he at least woke up. Thabo Mbeki is still not acknowledging white monopoly capital,” he said.

Those who said white monopoly capital did not exist had even managed to smear mud on black businesses, calling black business owners “tenderpreneurs” when, in fact, “white businesses are the biggest beneficiaries of state tenders”.

Words like "Black Diamond" basically means you a better kaffir, stop naming & giving nonsensical titles 2 Blacks.

The “tenderpreneurs” who were liked had earned themselves names such as “black diamond”, though some may not know it is a negative title.

“Words like ‘Black Diamond’ basically means you [sic] a better kaffir, stop naming and giving nonsensical titles to blacks.”

Though white girls were apparently constantly surrounding rich black men, they never got bad labels, when the same could not be said about black women.

“Black girls hanging with rich black guys are now pantypreneurs,” he said, in reference to a word coined by a journalist and for which she had to apologise.

Whites girls r constantly surrounding rich black men without being labeled, Black girls hanging with rich black guys r now pantypreneurs.

Though there was a problem with landlessness and poverty in the black community, McKenzie said white monopoly capital was not the only problem. It was time for the ANC to start changing things for the people who voted for it.

“We should start blaming the ANC,” he said.

He further encouraged black people to fight for real economic change in their lives if they did not want to die in poverty.
