IT'S THE WHITE MAN'S FAULT
To
steal from a white is not a crime … one bullet one settler … whites stole our
land … whites were privileged and used us as slaves to enrich themselves…whites
are dogs who do not deserve to live … I will never forgive whites for what they
did … whites had the best land that they stole from us … whites must go back to
where they came from … you are not African if you are not black … whites had
the best of everything … whites are the scum of the earth … all white farmers
are thieves … whites put us into over-crowded homelands that were nothing more
than ghettos… whites locked us up by the thousands … whites killed us off like
animals …whites should be grateful we allow them to live in SA or to allow them
to live at all…whites still own all the riches…whites still own most of the
land … whites can be called umlungu, dogs, whites, boere, boers, pigs etc. but
blacks can only be called African.
South Africa is in a mess because of the whites…everything
that goes wrong in the country is because of the whites…whites had the best
beaches…whites had the most fertile soil…apartheid was a crime against humanity…Eugene
de Kock killed blacks in the thousands…Mandela is a saint, and FW deserves
recognition because he realised his mistake…the ANC won the fight for freedom.
And
so our Youth of all shades believe that white is bad and black is good. If you happen to be of mixed race, you can
call yourself black. It is a much better
skin colour to have. White is bad. White youth hang their heads in shame and
accept with humiliation the honour of being allowed to live in SA. Black youth have become the oppressors. We have generations of people who have
little or no education because the schools were burned, but that is also the
white man’s fault. Liberation before education! Now we have freedom and no bread. Now we have democracy and no work. Now we have human rights but we can’t read
our Constitution. We have leaders who
make us ashamed. We cannot be proud of
ourselves when the world laughs at our stupidity. The oppressed have become the oppressors and
that is fine because it is the white man’s turn to feel humiliated and they
need to be punished.
I
do not believe that separate development and the apartheid laws of keeping us
apart were acceptable. It was wrong – as
wrong as the laws are in Israel/Palestine.
Both situations were based on the
idea that one group of people were/are God’s chosen race. The Jews believe they are the chosen race –
the Afrikaners thought they were the chosen race. Apartheid and the Broederbond did not only
hurt and damage black South Africans, but also whites whose
home language was English. They even had to have seperate schools! Even in the
army, to which all white boys were conscripted, the English boys were treated
as inferior to the Afrikaners.
Perhaps
I was different to most. I did not start
fighting against Apartheid because there was discrimination against black
people. I started fighting when I was
not allowed on a beach because the beach was for black people only. How dare anyone tell me that I can or can’t
go somewhere because of the colour of my skin? How dare anyone tell me that I need a resident’s
and work permit to continue to live in the land of my birth – because my skin
was white and only black people could live in the Transkei?
And
how dare people in our democratic and free country now write into law that I am
prohibited from the job market because I am white? How dare people categorise other human beings
according to the colour of their skin??
And how could we have allowed this?
What happened to that feeling of pride we all felt in South Africa when we won the
1995 rugby world cup? We should all hang
our heads in shame because every country deserves the leader and leaders they
have. We have allowed this to happen …
to our eternal shame.
For
further reading – here is a little history from a German book published in 1988;
from the time when we were not allowed to mix together, when only white people
were given education … when it was the white man’s fault that SA was a police
state, when only black people suffered!
