As a woman I am extremely aware the only reason I have rights is because women before me got mouthy, organized, and made herself inconvenient. Thats why I see women who uphold the patriarchy as traitors
@Bokang_BigSis No, men and women attempt suicide at about the same rate. The only difference is that men actually pull the trigger. Women are so incompetent that they fail to even kill themselves.
There's a specific tribe in SA where the women and even girls from a young age are extremely marriage/male centered and I know it's not their fault but the patriarchy in their culture forces them to be this way.๏ฟผ
Societies are not built by good men alone. They are built by capable men.
The problem is that capable men are not always good, and good men are not always capable.
A civilization survives when it can cultivate both: the competence to build and the virtue to wield power justly.
Likewise, Africa is a mosaic of ethnic cultures participating in overlapping civilizational traditions. Indigenous African traditions, Christianity and Islam have all shaped different regions in different ways. That's a civilizational reality not a singular "black culture."
Race isn't culture. Ethnicity produces culture, civilization shapes institutions. There is no singular "white" or "black" cultureโonly diverse peoples participating in broader civilizational traditions.
A more accurate discussion is civilizational. The modern West was profoundly shaped by the traditions of Christendom and, in the Anglo world especially, Protestantism. That's a claim about history and institutions not about skin colour.
Race, ethnicity, culture and civilization are not interchangeable. Race is a broad physical classification. Ethnicity refers to a particular people. Culture is their inherited way of life. Civilization is the broader historical tradition that shapes many cultures.
Phrases like "white culture" or "black culture" are analytically weak. Europeans and Africans each comprise hundreds of distinct peoples with different languages, customs, histories and institutions. Race does not produce culture.
Label South Africans as xenophobic and afrophobic for Marching.
To shift the conversation from illegal immigration to a false dialectic of "good guy/bad guy".
Thus, your grievances are not genuine because you're a bad person.

What annoys me the most, about this so-called anti-immigration debate is the selective appreciation of the rule of law.
First, labeling these protects as "anti-immigration" is inflammatory. At the time of conflict, reconciliatory language is necessary.
Second, illegal immigration is unlawful. Protected protect marches are not, unless otherwise the protesters break the law.
Third, human dignity is the cornerstone of all human rights. However, this appreciation must be balanced against the need to uphold and enforce other laws, including rights and titles.
There cannot be peace when the appreciation of the rule of law is selective. Because, while the law is meant to protect the weak and vulnerable, it does not give the weak and vulnerable license to break the law.
