DJ I get your point.
But we are 1 country 1 nation. We are not 1 Afrikaner, 1 English, 1 Zulu, 1 Xhosa, 1 Chinese, 1..... We are a South African Nation, we are an African Nation.
What he is doing is not right, but by showing a flag, and 'standing up for what you believe in' is what got us as messed up as we are today.
If it was not for apartheid we would not need 'black empowerment now' like stated, X believes 1 religion and another believes what, if you read what is said in the 'Bible' we will suffer the sins of our farther.
Now yes, most of us where not 'physically involved' in the old area, but our parents and grandparents where. And there is nothing right about the way black people were treated in this country. And I believe what we are going through now is nowhere near as to what we could have if it was not for a level headed man like Mandela.
Now this Malema is an idiot, but talking about his action is not going to change anything. And yes he is causing allot of friction but let us be better people.
People talk about all the problems in this country, I don't see them, I see 1 guy who has an ego issue and trying to get attention regardless if its positive or negative he just thrives off it. Go turn on the news on every other country and I can tell you there is more shit going on there than here... Imagine our country was at war and we had 'all our children' fighting in war they don't even know what they fighting for. But propaganda states you fighting for your 'freedom' and you fighting for your 'country' bull shit. That’s the same crap Malema is feeding people and the same bullshit we were told by our former president. Now forget Zimbabwe this is South Africa, leave their problems alone and deal with our own, we are all too busy worrying about what has happened in the past or what somebody else has said to actual make this country a better place.
Just live your life as best you can and be an example to those around you. If you have a place in power that can help with any of these situations by all means act civil and take control. But 1 word of hate towards race will throws us back at square 1.
You are born black, white, Indian, etc. Now what makes you better if you born white -nothing-.
Now the shit we went through is going to take years to come right, it probably will not come right in our life time, but none of that matters, as when we die others get born and so is the cycle of life. What we need to do is make an example of what a multi racial country is about and be proud of who we are and what we are as a 'combined' nation, not a nation drawn by hate and racial comments but a nation that will protect each other and cast out the handful that are bitter and cold. And this can only be done if we work together, so let us all get off our high horse and stand up for our black brother or white comrade and forget what is happening on the news because is it effecting you personally? And everyone is suffering from this the past 1 way or another.
Yes, AWB leader was killed, so what, people die all the time, I might be killed in my house next week, or I might grow up to be a 90 year old grandpa. Get over it and stop looking for a reason to be a prick. Every little reason fuels us to make what we doing now and saying feel right when we know it’s not.
So I’ll say again, let us protect this country and give it what it needs, love. Get over your heritage because what are we history professors? We live in the present, what happened yesterday should not cause tomorrows sorrow but what we do today should is what is important, and today we live together in peace, and we turn the other cheek when it gets slapped, and we care for the people and feel sorry for them 'for they know not what they do' so do not worry about what is not yet done and worry about living your life to the best, and when somebody does wrong retaliate with a kind heart and a level head.
It saddens me when so many of us "educated people" act in a manner which is just as bad as those we hate and complain about. Just tell me how many of you who pass judgement on others are sin free yourself, how many of you who state he is this and they are that have looked at yourself and see what a twat you are. How many of you who complain about what Malema actions, do the same to your friends, "you know that fucking kaffir". Or say, you know that "fucking boer, I’ll rape his family". He just has a bigger following due to his ‘abused position in power’.
Yet on the outside we like, how dare he say that and look at the person saying this... We are all equally to blame for this mess, so let us all equally work together to sort it out, and that doesn't mean it will be easy or even possible in our lifetime but none of that should matter, because when you go to bed at night you should have no problems sleeping knowing what you do in your life will be remembered by all those around you and be admired and looked up to. Not he was this racial man who had all this anger.
Now many of you will disagree with what I said, and you entitled too, all i’m trying to do is make us understand that ‘bad dogs are not born’ and certain actions in his life has made him the man he is (Malema) now that doesn’t excuse his actions and it doesn’t give us the right to act in any way that resembles hate to your fellow brother.
PS: I just wrote a whole lot of shit on my heart and not going to re-read it just know there is some truth to what I have just said, and others might believe it’s just a story like little red riding hood. Point being be a better person and don’t attack me for what I am saying here, I am trying to be a natural as possible.
