i HAVE MIXED EMOTIONS IM NOT SURE IF I SHOULD BE ANGRY,UPSET AND KICK MYSELF CAUSE AS A BLACK YOUTH IN SOUTH AFRICA AT TIMES WE TEND TO GET OURSELVES CAGED BY NOT LISTENING TO ADVICES OF OUR ELDERS/LEADERS AND NOT NECESSARILY ABOUT APARTHEID OR THE WHITES BUT EVEN ABOUT RELATIONSHIPS OR LIFE ITSELF. I THINK WE TEND TO THINK WE KNOW EVERYTHING AND WE CAN DO WHATEVER WE WANT ANYTIME WE WANT. YET AGAIN I STILL BLAME THE APARTHEID AND SLAVERY CAUSE EVEN NOW IN 2015 MOST WHITES SEE US PIGEONS OR THINK THAT WE ARE PIGEONS AND CANT ACHIEVE ANYTIN ON OUR OWN WE NEED THEM TO "MAKE" IT. DO I HATE WHITE PEOPLE HELL NO ITS THE EMOTIONS THAT CLOUD MY MIND WEN REMINDED OF HOW THINGS USED TO BE AND AT HOW SOME OF "THEM" HAVENT CHANGED THEIR ATTITUDE OR BEHAVIOUR TOWARDS US. YOU SHOULD SEE HOW MAIDS ARE TREATED IN SOUTH AFRICA, YOU SHOULD SEE HOW COMMONERS ARE TREATED IN THIS COUNTRY, U SHOULD SEE HOW HELPERS(MALE/FEMALE) ARE TREATED.MAYBE I AM WRONG OR IGNORANT AND EVEN UNWISE TO USE SKIN COLOUR OR RACE IN MY COMMENT ITS BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE A TAMED BIRD THAT CAN ESCAPE ANYTIME IT WANTS BUT IT DOESNT CAUSE OF COMFORT N SECURITY DATS SO LIMITED AND CONTROLLED AND BECAUSE ITS BEEN ALSO BY THEMDECEIVED THAT OUT THERE THERES NO FREEDOM BUT COLDNESS AND HUNGER. BY FAR THIS IS THE BEST READ OF THE MONTH FOR ME.
