Question

Describe 2 conflicts theory in the Skin movie by Sandra Laing.

Answer 1

There is no doubt in my mind that this movie (like many other entertaining tear-jerkers) has an underlying malicious purpose. The producer Anthony Fabian struggled for some time to market this movie in South Africa, but then suddenly our national TV, newspapers, and magazines, started an intensive and costly marketing campaign. This tells me that our Marxist government has an important message for the citizens of South Africa, ---- and the message is twofold:

1.... To remind South Africans and the so-called ‘civilized’ world that we can never ever go back to that cruel, heartless, racist system called “Apartheid”. --- No, we should rather plod on blindly, and mix with whom we please. We must tolerate the violent and senseless shedding of blood. We must tolerate the illegal drugs that are killing our kids. We must accept the fact that killing 900,000 babies (Since 01 Feb 1997) by legalized abortion, is a ‘normal’ practice in our ‘civilized’ society. We must accept that unemployment, poverty, starvation, and government incompetence to deal with these issues, will remain with us until Jesus comes! We MUST move forward and never back, ‘cause if we look back long enough we may just wake up and realize that we’re moving in the wrong direction!

2.... To ridicule the Afrikaner Christian Heritage.

The Film and Media Industries have already done an excellent job to accomplish this in numerous films, documentaries, and articles. The ultimate message that satan and his cronies are hammering into our heads, is that the Whiteman (and by implication the bearers of the Christian Cross) are in fact the scum of this earth. The message thus promotes hatred, more racial conflict, and also murder. The supreme goal is to further satan’s cause by abolishing God and His people from the system. (Take note: I deliberately avoid spelling the name satan with a capital “S”)

In Sandra Laing’s case a documentary was filmed in the 1970s. Before that time there were numerous newspaper and magazine articles about this incident. In 2004 Judith Stone’s book, When she was white , made its appearance. Now there’s a forcefully promoted block-buster movie showing on our big screens, and we’re already in the year 2010! How many more times are we going to be reminded about the idiocy of the Whiteman’s past?
