Why are you scared? If your ancestors have been here & you gonna be still here as an ancestor yourself? Why are you living a life of fear when your heritage & inheritance is infinity?
The thing that annoys me about the xenophobia/afrophobia chats is that they call us coons but when they get here, they don't join us in our struggles against white economic domination. They don't believe in our hard fought labour laws or the right to black dignity. They're willing to take whatever job they can get for whatever pay and live in whatever conditions because they aren't "lazy" like us. They don't even push back against this "lazy" label we are given. They reinforce the idea that workers should be grateful for whatever they get regardless of the exploitation happening. Do they not see how this undermines the existence of black people in this country? It's reinforcing this idea in employers' heads that there's nothing wrong with exploitation, the locals are just "lazy". But I guess since this isn't their home, they don't care what state they leave it in?
She is right. The educated middle class should stop intellectualising the poor's problems. Stop dismissing poor people's lived experiences simply because you have a theory about what is happening.
The reason they speak like this we all know it because people refused to associate themselves with any political party now they are frustrated they canโt control this revolution and canโt use it for political gain, We are tired of politicians this is our daily lives we are the one whoโs affected not Kings and Politicians
As fukd up as it is, people respect you more when you're mean, cold and set boundaries, and Africans have been the punching bag of other races for centuries. Weak people are exploited. This has been the rule of life itself.
It goes hand-in-hand with people who abuse the system. Having a 30-day visa and refusing to leave when it expires shows a complete lack of integrity. Both issues coexist and feed into the larger problem. Every right has a responsibility ๐
๐จ๐ฟ๐ฆ The richest man on earth. Born in South Africa. His name is on nothing there.
Not one hospital. Not one trust. Not one shelter. Not one library. Not one scholarship. Not one clinic. Not one housing project.
He could fund any of it. He has chosen none of it.
Instead he sells the world a story of white victimhood, while millions of black South Africans still live in the conditions built for them by white supremacy.
