I read the following South African case, and it really bugs me, and I wonder how secure other last wishes are around the world.
www.legalbrief.co.za...
Shortly, the case concerned the late Dr. Edmund Scarbrow, who died in 1921. Upon his death he founded the Scarbrow Bursary Fund Testamentary Trust.
In 2002 it advertised for applicants in a Cape Town newspaper, stating that it sought deserving students who were non-Jewish males of European descent.

However the then Minister of Education saw the advert, and decided it was discrimination and against our post-1994 Bill of Rights.

Eventually in 2008 Judge Ben Griesel decided against the wishes of Dr. Scarbrow.
Our laws make provision for "positive discrimination" in favour of women and blacks, and therefore all race and gender conditions in the Testament were scrapped.

I wonder, have laws elsewhere turned so much on the white male that even the dead are ignored?
Is this fair, or political correctness gone into fascism?
I think affirmative action and racism against white males is so harsh that I would also like to give part of my inheritence towards a fund for the white male student.
I guess I won't be able to.

However (and the context bugs me more) at the same University there is an eastern religious group which sends two female students to India every year on an inheritence bursary for that purpose.
OK, that's great - but why can a gentile, white male not be supported?
We had white poverty in SA too, we weren't all colonial rajas.
I have a feeling such a public advert would be controversial these days in many parts of the world.
The fake construction is that the gentile white male had everything, and therefore now it must be taken.
Maybe there's truth to that.
But to destroy the wishes of somebody who died in 1921 - that's just spiteful.

Selective racism and selective reverse racism have been around for a while. I remember it starting in the 80's in Canada. In Suid Afrika, Affirmative Action is a perverse and dysfunctional representation of what it stands for, that being, the betterment of minorities considered at a disadvantage. In Suid Afrika, the whites are the disadvantaged minority who have been deliberately made so by the Marxist terrorists, the ANC. So, since the country is controlled by petty despots and scumbags who are jumping to the tune of old Oppenheimer and the Rothschilds, their handlers, you really only have one choice when it comes to wills and trust funds, set them up offshore and out of SA jurisdiction.

South Africa is a Marxist experiment, I saw it coming in late 1989/early 1990 so I left and came back to Canada, which is also an experiment but of the socialist flavour. In any event South Africa is pooched, get out if you can, nothing will be right in SA until the Rothschilds, Oppenheimers and the ANC are gone.

Cheers - Dave

The strange thing is that it is said that the white male still runs so many top managerial positions.
Well since my generation I cannot see this at all. These must be very old white managers.
One only needs to look at the Uni entry requirements these days for different races.
I thought non-racism/non-sexism meant just that - apparently not.

Just received an alumni magazine, as usually begging for money.
The strange thing is, they had a blacks-only alumni dinner, which even got former white activists worked up.
Something else seems to be happening which they didn't "struggle for".
Oh dear, a rude awakening?
Well, the black Alumni have the money now - let them donate.
