I respect your hustle Waylander.
You seem to have a focus, what's your ultimate goal? What drives you when you wake up in the morning?
As for me, money doesn't drive me, even though my job practically safe-guards capitalism.
But, I mean, we all like to have nice things so I can meet you halfway.
I'm surprised you think the site is 'teeming with pseudo-intellectuals'. I always find the views vary to an interesting degree. Quite a few devil's advocates, afrocentrics and apologists. And a few posts to remind everyone not to take everything so seriously.
As for Gareth Cliff's letter, I did nod here and there, but nothing was new really, that's why I didn't comment before. Very few people would disagree that the government is corrupt. I was more interested in what motivated him to write it and whether it was really in the spirit of building the country. Also, I'm still sensitive to wording, perspective and tone used by white people in their criticism of black people, call it a nervous tick *shrug*
coolness.
My beef is that some people are dismissing the letter simply because it was written by a white person..
not because it doesnt make sense, or is a lie etc, but simply because it was written by a white guy..
As for it not saying nothing new, i agree, but that on its own does not make it irrelevant.. Gareth cliff is a radio personality, and has a wider and bigger reach than the average guy, and he has more clout(as far as listenability is concerned)than some politicians even..
Generally, when a politician speaks, you wouldnt think twice about flippin channels, but you wouldnt reali flip a channel because gareth cliff is being interviewed..
The stir this letter has caused is a perfect example of the clout and reach dude has...
As for his motivation, only he would know.. im not sure about this, but if he is speaking the truth, do his reason matter? i mean, when Helen Zille or Mbazima Shilowa speak truth, do you stop to think whether they are saying what they saying kauz its true, or kauz they tryin to get votes?
when a ref gives chiefs a penalty, do you focus on whether a foul actually ocurred and whether its deserving of a penalty or on whether they guy hates the team chiefs is playing against?
And i respect how sensitive you still are towards what white people say and how they say it, but my point is, when they do talk, what they say shouldnt be just dismissed because of their skin colour.. Keep in mind, that behaviour makes us just like them during the arpatheid era, it means we are employing reverse racism, which basically makes everything they did to us acceptable because we are now just as guilty...
As for this AG being full of pseudo-intellectuals, i think thats a fact.. Some big-worded views expressed on some threads are utterly stupid once you strip away all the beautiful colors they are covered with.
and i understand that this site is full of jokers, apologists and such, as you stated, but some things just get me going.. but ke, i do apologise for getting all emo on ya'll!!!
As what drives me and my ultimate goals, simple: MONEY MONEY MONEY!!!!
Thats the reason i went to school, got a job, started my businesses.. 95% of the decisions i make are motivated by gwop..
Money is 95% hapiness.. simple... everything thing that makes you happy except love(in some cases) requires money.. so its a simple equation NEEDS/WANTS + MONEY = HAPINESSES!!
and the more you have, the happier you are.. the only people who are happy without money are people who've never had it, so its value means nothing to them...
who the f*** is LIL B and who the f*** is that weirdo on your avatar, weirdo?
ive been wondering....where do squids store their food, considering that they got this big head and no abdomen?
anyway, i get annoyed when these SASCO fukers take they political shit seriously. dont u just hate it. these fagz cant even speak proper english!
This is wackness. Absolute nonsense. Only Onek1nd and whosane are Cape town's guardians. Dla too. Ma-b has a lot of potential. Jimmy flex is kak and so is Shorty skillz, he has delusions of granderur. Panic who are you really working for?
Sadly but not suprisingly, The president has given dude man his ear for the letter, now ims sure there's plenty of Black people who've said a lot of stuff but never got this.
Shit a nigger be stuck here needing good weed and these f***ers are out there doing this?
anyway,me panic and liquidZ we can smoke half that shit in one day playa!
Kool KIdz done f***ed with this sound already though. so its nothing new but I dont mean this in a negative way. I LOVE IT!
