That all of the black people were waiting for Nelson Mandela to die before rising up and killing all the white people. Because he wouldv'e been disappointed in them if he were still alive.
-And then Nelson Mandela died in December 2013. Which was a very said time for most of the country.But none so much for the Suidlanders, because the predicted genocide didn't happen.
Ugh! This is EXACTLY why when you're building your sect around the fear of an Upcoming Doom Event, you have to make it vague. Otherwise, if you say, tell your followers the world's going to end January 2nd 2014, and then the date rolls around and the world's still there, you get that awful, cringe moment, when your followers give you the "Look." Even the ones who still want to go along with it, even them, they all have that "YOU PROMISED US THE WORLD WOULD END!" look on their face. You can hit 'em with the whole "It didn't end because of us, and what we're doing" schpiel of course, but that just come's off as hollow.
Ugh, the whole thing it's ... the worst feeling ever. Just say, "Soon." The Doom is coming Soon. You can stretch that out as long as you like. Life, amiright, it don't come with an instruction manual.
