Yes, this is a political debate, political parties make their live out of this one, but in general Boer is referring to the Afrikaner in a broader context, in other words what would be politically, by certain political parties be implied as pure bred Afrikaners that should be, you know have certain rights on whatever land, whatever the case may be, in other words we talk about Afrikaner as you would find it in text books.
	Then boer would refer to the farming community as such, which may be Afrikaners but which may be some other people too.  Now in the Free State the two are basically synonymous because most and at that stage specifically, now you have a small number of commercial Black farmers too, but here during 1989, 1991 probably ninety some percent of the farming community in the Free State would be Afrikaner people, in other words Boers and then farmers, boers and very few of them would be English speaking people.
