Tutu's glee at conflict between Whites (Source-Victory or Violence:Story of the AWB of South Africa by Arthur Kemp)
Bishop Tutu has criticized the schism in the Anglican Communion over the role of homosexuals in the church. At a 2006 conference in Nairobi he was quoted as being "deeply disturbed that in the face of some of the most horrendous problems facing Africa, we concentrate on 'what do I do in bed with whom'".

==Comment following Pietersburg fight==
On April 22 1986 a National Party meeting to be addressed by then Minister of Foreign Affairs Roelof "Pik" Botha in the Transvaal town of Pietersburg (renamed Polokwane under the ANC government) was disrupted by 5,000 White rightwingers (including the [[AWB]]) Desmond Tutu expressed glee at the violence.
He said, "If they (Whites) can turn on each other now, that means our battles are going to be less horrendous".
This also signified that he was preparing to engage in battles with Whites. Which could be seen as shattering the myth that he was a peaceful man.
