@Goosewaynee01 @Rolandschoeman @lepitsi_lucas The system was to keep separate. It’s in the name. Each group got access to facilities and services. Sure there were levels to what you got and that was messed up. But we got them. What you chose to do with that was up to you.

@MayibuyeAzaniaa @Rolandschoeman Thats not quite what that extract means though. Its the opposite. It’s a concept designed to keep victimhood mentality long after the chains are removed. Words, imagery weaponised to trigger emotions. Even when there’s no reason to, or something never experienced.

@FHoesit @AlBunding What was painful during that time, was lining up to do the pencil test for your hair.. If you failed cos the pencil fell, you were put in a van and taken away.

@FHoesit @GriffinForGold We absolutely deny your offensive fake news. Our ancestry can be traced to the point of origin.

[Sharon King @ShaCatt]

@FHoesit Nee man stop spreading your fake news. Those happened as odd exception.
I know because my ancestors can be traced to the farm where two Brit brothers set each of their 3 xhosa wives up in their house. The farm still belongs to us. Stop spreading lies.

@zakareeee It’s literally the opposite. From posts I see Black people are very needy for attention. I think at this point whites would very much like for the drama to end & be left to go about their business quietly. Like normal everyday SAfricans.

@NefTaryn92144 @ScallywagPeet @BenMenziwa Mxm that’s not only WC problem. You’re adding your own spice for dramatic effect 😂

[Sharon King @ShaCatt]

@RonnyShipalana @BenMenziwa @masotobe39 You can’t hate what you are.

@Ndi_Muvenda_ Classic 😂😂😂 plus they only barked in Afrikaans.
Die hond blaf 😭

@Lebona_cabonena I think aspirations and value systems are just different. Every other nation felt the need to go on great voyages of discovery, wanting to conquer new lands. Inhabitants of Africa had no such ambitions. I think speaks to being wired differently.

[Sharon King @ShaCatt]

@kpseabi @anthonyojee @adalluch @elonmusk 30 years of broken promises. Schools promised never, built. No regard for basic services like running water in rural areas. We should be better off living in communities, looked after. At the very least things like hospitals should be in same state as 1994.

I forgot about that “born free” term. It used to be spoken with pride and such happiness thinking about the wonderful lives they had in store. Free to just live their lives. No concept of racial inequality or injustices. That was the dream.

I went from being called previously disadvantaged to historically disadvantaged. And then one day just quietly excluded from any sort benefit there was to be had. Sometimes think being ignored is as bad as being outright hated.
The joys of being coloured.

This you?

@Mar1Dan @kalliekriel @afriforum Also wanted to say - Congrats on your cousin getting their land back. That's so exciting. Hope you won't wait much longer to get yours 🙏

[Sharon King @ShaCatt]

@Mar1Dan @kalliekriel @afriforum There's a land claims process for restoration. We're worse off-failing infrastructure, schools, healthcare. Our communities neglected. But we're blaming white people. They're the easy target gov makes us believe is the reason for all their failures.

[Sharon King @ShaCatt]

@Mar1Dan @kalliekriel @afriforum All those unselfish heroes, enduring the unspeakable, giving their lives, we won the fight for freedom. We got to vote for a gov promising to serve the interests of all. 30 yrs of being played & sidelined, we have a right to be angry. Not cos of past victimhood. I don't get that.

@Mar1Dan @kalliekriel @afriforum Dude I'm a coloured female. I lived through all that. I was raised not to have a victim mentality so know first hand, that the past does not define you. You can achieve what you want in spite of it. Being treated and seen as less than, is a choice. You make it acceptable.

[Sharon King @ShaCatt]

@Mar1Dan @kalliekriel @afriforum All that time to learn that life owes you nothing. You have a choice to decide your path. Sit back expecting your turn until its 30 years later and things are worse. Hold the gov accountable. That's what matters.
