Racist Case

Yes, You Are A Racist.

Nothing has destroyed the African continent and her men more swiftly and violently as the White man and his Apartheid. It was a convenient regime that set about to completely dismantle and bastardize the complex concept of the African man. 

Without even a crumb of remorse, the white man has exploited our African people and taken their land. They came in their ships to the "dark continent” with their religion and science constantly justifying it with patronizing ramblings of western reformation and de-barbarism, that would eventually bestow upon us a knowledge that was supposedly superior to our petty superstitions.  

Now after all the dismantling and destruction what are we left with? An angry, ignorant, pseudo- integrated post Apartheid South Africa.

People are angry because even though institutionalized apartheid is gone, societal and economic apartheid still reigns supreme in South Africa and that's always been the problem. It is therefore not shocking that the writings of Steve Biko are still as relevant, today as ever before. "The South African white community is a homogeneous community. It is a community of people who sit to enjoy privileged position that they do not deserve, are aware of this, and therefore spend their time trying to justify why they are doing so." Their modern day anger stems from a place of realizing that they are losing control in a system that has largely benefited them for centuries. It is a selfish anger that refuses to acknowledge the poverty and inequality that their regime has created.

“There is nothing the matter with black people. The problem is White Racism and it rests squarely on the laps of white society" until white people can realize that the current South African condition is a result of their regime, and that it is their problem to fix, they will forever stay frustrated and play the victim "blacks are over-reacting” game. White people need to realize that blacks have their own struggles and are merely responding to a situation where they find themselves the objects of white racism. We cannot effectively progress as a society if we cannot acknowledge that black people and white people are different and that enhancing and nurturing those differences can help us truly integrate as a society. We should not be maintaining a system where the white man is a perpetual teacher
