LouBelle,
You are blaming the native blacks for everything, and you are doing nothing but attacking them. If you eradicate race from your anger!, then I would be more able to understand your point. All these silly racial categorizations do nothing but add to the divisiveness of your country. While you are supposedly not guilty of the sins of your forefathers, you obviously are well over 15 years of age, which means you actively lived in the era of apartheid, did you not? And I know for a fact that coloreds were not treated anywhere near as harshly as the blacks. I mean the way you are writing your response is as if this happened eons ago.
And try as you may it is "I" and "we the non/blacks are doing so much for the blacks" that is problematic to me. It is "us" versus "them" and it is so glowing in your responses. To me, I don't see anything in your writing that does not even begin to walk away from that paradigi for a solution. You are not a black native african, am I correct? You are not writing in any way to even begin to understand them at all. You are writing a bunch of negative ATTACKS (let's make it really plain here) and that's it.
I also have a problem with people like you that are actually doing the same exact thing that the rulers of Apartheid did to the rest of the world. You are attacking, degrading and making the native Africans out to the bad people. Well guess what! There are a lot of hard working educated black natives of South Africa that are NOT ANYTHING LIKE YOU ARE WRITING and they are just as disgusted by the attacks racially like are happening in that country. The reason I am writing is because I have south african friends that are black and they are native and if you do not know what that means, let me make it clear. These people are the indigenous people of that country. Everyone else migrated there from another place and did nothing but make the indigenous people life's hell.
I am curious about what you are going to do about it! Since it reads like these black natives are such a problem, what's your solution, maybe a more justified racial apartheid! Is that the solution? Maybe separate schools so the coloreds and the whites won't be soiled by the blacks? Or maybe they should just piss in their food and show them whose boss!
I am trying very hard to understand your point, but I have to tell you that are coming off as more than a little bit biased and prejudiced toward the natives blacks of that country. Can you even see it??
And before you ask I have been to South Africa. Yes, seen it first hand. I know you are grossly exaggerating and telling half truths about apartheid in reverse. Who are the richest people in South Africa? Who owns all the business and has all the power? Let's be real clear. I appalud people like Oprah Winfrey that would even attempt to respond to the glowly descrepancies in education and the poverty levels in the black natives communities. Whites are rich on the backs of blacks, and now that is apartheid is over, they blame the blacks for their poverty. Which is downright silly to me. You put them there, you created the slave class, you killed them, imprisoned them without mercy and NOW, you want to extend to the rest of the world that it is totally in reverse? Hell, there are still most universities and schools where whites go and live in the very best, that black do not. And before you ask, I have taken money out of my pocket in support of educating the poor blacks of that country and I have also contributed to the Oprah Winfrey School for girls. I
You are angry, I get that, but what I am really incensed about is that you are not only not telling the entire story, and your story is not totally accurate.
