@ill_Scholar@kimheller3 Mapanguwe kingdom was inhabited by what would be modern day Shona and Venda people, the Great walls of Zimbabwe by shona and karanga people - Over 40 centuries ago! Did Khwe/Xam build these? There's so much linguistic evidence to suggest we lived harmongenously with them. Please
@MWeepner@EmmanuelMotelin@elonmusk Let it go? Some of our older family members live with PTSD from the atrocities and displacement caused by apartheid that have caused a ripple effect to the later generations.
@Prettyboykayy@INdlalifa101@carpetmanxyx@iamkuhlesaki Judging by your excessive questionmarks, you're not asking for enlightenment or insight, you're asking for a rebuttal & some people are incorrigible, you won't even see a different perspective, when your thinking is so narrow.
@Tshidiso_Josh @ntokozo_eff @iamkuhlesaki especially when it feels like there's a lack of understanding or empathy around us. But conversations like this, where respect and open-mindedness are fostered are small but important steps toward positive change for us as blacks
@Tshidiso_Josh @ntokozo_eff @iamkuhlesaki It’s encouraging to know that even in a world full of difficulties, there are people committed to being better versions of themselves (whether they've been wronged or not), its good to know there's hope. Keep positive my brother. Lets keep Ubuntu & live purposefully👊
@Tshidiso_Josh @ntokozo_eff @iamkuhlesaki Anyway, I applaud you for engaging in this maturely & respectfully. We don't often give enough positive reinforcement. I understand how challenging it can be for us to navigate the complexities of society,
@Tshidiso_Josh @ntokozo_eff @iamkuhlesaki - how to have peaceful and constructive means to manage our emotions & when to have self respect and walk away before another black person ends up behind bars with no legacy/future. No one wins.
@Tshidiso_Josh @ntokozo_eff @iamkuhlesaki What he did is not acting on some uncontrollable instincts, it's actively choosing a harmful path, which society will eventually hold you accountable for. We are not passive participants in our lives. Everything is a choice. Otherwise he's an animal.
@Tshidiso_Josh @ntokozo_eff @iamkuhlesaki Killing people, especially in moments of heated emotions, is not justifiable. Even the laws of society reflect this shared understanding of our capacity for self-awareness and ability to distinguish right from wrong.
@Tshidiso_Josh @ntokozo_eff @iamkuhlesaki Even when faced with emotions like anger, frustration or stress, humans have the ability to pause, reflect, and choose how to respond. You're completely pushing away the idea of free will and autonomy, & at this rate my Pitbull has better self control than most people
@Tshidiso_Josh @ntokozo_eff @iamkuhlesaki We have advanced cognitive abilities/attributes that separate us from animals, that allow us to regulate and control our emotions. We have capacity to reflect, engage in decision making & plan.
@Tshidiso_Josh @ntokozo_eff @iamkuhlesaki Yes, we all have emotions but we are ultimately responsible for how how we manage and respond to those emotions, particularly in situations involving physical abuse. We have reasoning and if willing, can estimate long term consequences of our decisions.
@Tshidiso_Josh @ntokozo_eff @iamkuhlesaki Sir, respectfully. We are not animals. We are the one species blessed with consciousness and reasoning and yet look at how we behave.
@TumeloM34148078@LimpopoDaddy@MDNnewss Such a response only tells me you're a boy who can't engage in critical thinking & constructive dialogue without feeling a pinch to your fragile ego and needing to impose a sense of superiority "when you grow up". Ironic for an uncircumcised mind. Good luck on the self work🙂🫂
@Tshidiso_Josh @ntokozo_eff @iamkuhlesaki For centuries, women were told by men 'they're emotional creatures', now look at the current lack of polarity. So you're telling me the angry women on mnakwethu must kill their partners for cheating because of betrayal and pain. No justification man. Wrong is wrong
