Racist

The Resume

    (January 31, 1941-April 3, 2010)
    Born in Ventersdorp, South Africa
    Founded the white supremacist organization Afrikaner Weerstandsbeweging (Afrikaner Resistance Movement; AWB) in 1973
    Opposed the repeal of apartheid laws
    Advocated creation of an independent Boer state
    Granted amnesty for politically motivated acts by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (1999)

Why he might be annoying:

    The AWB first gained national attention by tarring and feathering a liberal professor.
    He led an assault against the Kempton Park World Trade Center to disrupt the negotiations to implement South Africa's first multi-racial elections (1993).
    He then launched a bombing campaign to disrupt the elections (1994).
    He led an unsuccessful AWB invasion of Bophuthatswana to prop up the homeland's autocratic leader (1994).
    He served three years in prison (2001-04) for assaulting a security guard, leaving him permanently disabled.
    He was widely mocked after falling off his horse at an AWB parade.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He was a powerful orator.
    He never did follow through on his threats to launch an all-out civil war if apartheid was dismantled.
    He was bludgeoned to death by two of his farm hands over a wage dispute.
