I'm not sure if the paler South Africans (I'm pale) actually get it after all these years of "separate development". South Africa is made up of a vast majority of indigenous people, perhaps 90% (?), so why do we get all uppity about the fact that it's "another black" doing heinous crimes??? Although heinous crimes are heinous and must be stopped dead, statistically the probability of the criminal being black in SA is 90%, so why the comments always about the race of the criminal? Pale South Africans, we are, and have always been THE MINORITY!
If you did a statistical analysis based on heinous crimes committed by whites in the small white community (like a father machine-gunning his wife and 3 children because he wanted to), then you could say that the whites are quite f#*"d up when you do the maths. We have the highest family murder rate in the world, and I'm sure the stats would shock us when we find out that most of these family murders are found in our tiny white community!
Now let's all face it, race is not the problem, it is the fact that we are reaping what we and our ancestors sowed, and we have the ignorance to be shocked and surprised! We took tribal elders away from their (very good) tribal systems, men away from their families, mothers away from their homes, and we can't understand why there is so much "playing up"??
This wound is deep and will take generations to heal. In the meantime why don't the "moral majority" (mostly living in the townships) become more salty in SA and make a difference instead of hiding in our houses? And why don't we whiteys quit with the resurgence of racism in our hearts? (didn't you spend years trying NOT to be racist???)
CHALLENGE TO US ALL: Do the maths and the history lesson next time you want to vent racism!! It's normal to be outraged and saddened, but without the racism....
