As a white guy, I've been out of South Africa for a couple of months. And it's such a relief. South Africa has so much anger and race issues and sheety attitudes, so many people holding a grudge and blaming one or more races for whatever.
I've been living in other 3rd world multi-cultural and racial countries, where there happen to be very few white people. There's also a lot of corruption in some of them and things are also pretty f'd up in some other countries also, some more and some less than SA. But without all the heavy aggro vibes. Without walking around and having non-white people looking at me like I'm responsible for their sheet life. Their sheet life is because it's sheety living in their mind with their sheety perspective. "You shall find what you seek." Most of the people with those sheety attitudes have never been to other countries with differing races, demographics, cultures and economics, which would bust their racist beliefs. By the time apartheid ended I didn't even know what apartheid was. My best friend was black growing up in the 80s, I had no clue about apartheid. I'm not making any statements about apartheid, just about myself. The colour of my skin has effall to do with my actions, attitudes and my interaction with apartheid. It's like giving all Germans a hard time for the holocaust. I've had family that were killed by anti-semitism also, so I'm not a hypocrite saying people should move on with life, and give every person the benefit of any doubt and treat them as well as they would like to be treated.
The whole anti white thing is not going to stop by itself. Not if hypothetically Zuma is removed, not if DA gets voted into power and creates a thriving place to live. There will always be those South African attitudes: "Poor dumb f me. You're responsible for my sheet. Give me more sheet. I didn't get enough sheet. I'm self rightuous blah blah blah. I want to work less and be given more sheet."
I think the only way the anti white thing will stop is if ALL the white people leave. So those people with the dodgy attitudes can look around and not see any white people anywhere, and then maybe, just maybe a light bulb will come in inside their head. "Hey, I'm responsible for my own success in life!" What an effing revelation!
I think people make a place, and there are places with much less heavy vibes. Peace my dear gentle South Africans.
I may be back, but I'd rather not be... for a long time.
I'd probably march too if I was there. But you're just going to have a bunch of black haters thinking you're racist white people. Hopefully there will be a balanced mixture of races. The fact that I even have to say that is a huge problem. When someone can't see past the colour of your skin, you're wasting your energy trying to talk to them. Give them a hug.
Maybe instead of political marches there should be love marches. Hug somebody who's a different race to you. Instead of leaving, make SA into a family. It's the only other option that makes sense to me.
