[The Daily Show @TheDailyShow]

The U.S. has reached 1 million confirmed coronavirus cases. Let's take a moment to honor the heroes who helped get us here.

Women under estimate the power of having your own money. No matter how little it is , it's yours .

Drop your Handles, let's grow our accounts.❤️

[Khanyile Runeli @Kenya_Runeli]

This is simply not true.

[Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump]

The only reason the U.S. has reported one million cases of CoronaVirus is that our Testing is sooo much better than any other country in the World. Other countries are way behind us in Testing, and therefore show far fewer cases!

[Jeff Tiedrich @itsJeffTiedrich]

@realDonaldTrump fact check: we're far behind other countries in per-capita testing, which is the only metric that matters. stop bragging that you've only tested 1% of America's population. most people are still afraid to leave the house, my dude, no matter how much you claim the opposite

[Eugene Gu, MD @eugenegu]

@realDonaldTrump We are in the middle of the worst pandemic in modern history. People are scared. Some are dying. Many are out of a job and worried about their future. Maybe instead of complaining about how the media is so unfair, Trump should have some empathy for the suffering American people.

[Eugene Gu, MD @eugenegu]

@realDonaldTrump The problem here is that Trump cares far more about what the media thinks about him than he cares about the American people. Everything is about how his coronavirus press conferences have huge ratings even higher than The Bachelor. But what about the Americans who have perished?

@Trevornoah My mummmm, she is a public school teacher and is always having to use her phone even til midnight when she supposed to be sleeping.

Her excuse is, the students have to wake to everything set as it would in school. She loves what she does and would appreciate this 😩🙏🏿

Democracy

The Group Areas Act of 1950 encourage seperate developments, mainstream economy for whites. Rural for blacks.

Then in 1994...

All the Billion Rand whites invaded the entire black economy, killing all black businesses

That's why Shoprite became rich after democracy.

[Nthapeleng🇿🇦 @Nthapeleng__]

The unconscious mind of a black child today, oblivious to all these truths, only sees "white success", "black defeat"...

She goes to pursue everything white. Be it clothing, lifestyle, looks.

The whiter she becomes, the less black and defeated feels.

[Nthapeleng🇿🇦 @Nthapeleng__]

Bantu Education was designed to subjugate us. All we were taught was to serve the white man...

To this day our parents say "funda, uzothola umsebenzi ebelungwini"

To this day bantu education continues in informal areas.

[Nthapeleng🇿🇦 @Nthapeleng__]

5th: The mind

No job, no wealth (livestock/land), poor skills, no business experience....

was completed by Bantu Education

"There is no place for blacks in the white community above the level of certain forms of labour ... Why teach blacks science and mathematics?" -Verwoerd

[Nthapeleng🇿🇦 @Nthapeleng__]

In business, black people were left out of the mainstream economy. In manufacturing, Commerce, Mining, etc...

It is for this reason why to this day all our cultural foods are still manufactured by whites.

E.g Mageu, Amarula, Mabele (by Rupert) Amasi(Danone)

[Nthapeleng🇿🇦 @Nthapeleng__]

The job reservations Act of 1957 aimed to raise the wages of semi-skilled white workers to a civilised level.

White people became underskilled as time would go.

Motive of Apartheid government, to offer black people a skill good enough to slave for the white man.

[Nthapeleng🇿🇦 @Nthapeleng__]

with the outcry "Workers of the world, unite and fight for a white South Africa!"

Black people were killed by whites during this revolt for occupying "white"jobs.

And as Afrikanerdom became more powerful, many black people were fired, their jobs taken by Afrikaaners.

[Nthapeleng🇿🇦 @Nthapeleng__]

The British mine owners didn't want them as workers, considered them lazy and unreliable. They preferred black workers instead.

This created jealousy and hatred towards black people by the boer, a jealousy which would later become Apartheid.

The Rand Revolt of 1922...

[Nthapeleng🇿🇦 @Nthapeleng__]

3rd defeat: Privilege

after the Anglo-Boer war (1899-1902)

The Boeres came out of this war defeated and poor, referred to by the British as "the disgraceful whites"

A stigmatised version of whites.

[Nthapeleng🇿🇦 @Nthapeleng__]

The 1913 Land Act set aside 7.5% of land for black people.

Also, all the good land was given to the white farmers.

In the 1960s, my Dad, 6 at the time, recalls how they were kicked out their home. They were told to go find a new place to stay. Their homeland became a farm.
