I am probably the most amazing creature that God ever created, what do you think?
I agree with you totally you are amazing.
the beef was how colored folk will gladly accept they white ansestry and TOTALLY shun and look down upon they black ancestory they were disgusted by the black in them and that obviouly means they would totally detest a black person, I can understand the pure owner of this planet(i.e the white man that some of our people idolize to the point of inducing bile extrectment) would look down upon a savage monkey like me but coloreds looking down on blacks is laughable.
the colored dude proceeds to tell me I am what wrong with this country "you blacks don't wanna speak out languages...ek is Afrikanner.."I exited and this is the same dude who while talking with his white friends freely spews the the k****** word ..he unforunatly is not a minory I hjave encounted a lot of this attitude type colored folk..
Thanks, but back to the topic at hand.
Unfortunately this is true of a lot of colooured folks and I think it is still a remnanat of the whole divide and rule policy of apartheid. Under the previous regime coloured people were told that they were better and that they somehow deserve to be treated better than the "monkeys" which are blacks. This was done in order to divide the strengths of the ma**ively overwhelming black population and have an ally in coloured folks. Sadly, som eof them were stupid enough to fall for it, which is why you still have coloureds who call other black people k******. You even have coloureds who refer to other coloured as such or as "boesman". This usually happens in situations where the one has straight hair and is lighter of complexion than the other.
There was a lot of friction in coloured communities in the past because of shit like this. In my dad's family, some members were cla**ified as "Cape Coloured", while others were considered "Other Coloured". Even brothers and sisters were cla**ified differently based on how their features were judged by whoever was in the Home Affairs office. So, osme people in the coloured community naturally had a more consciouss outlook on what was going down, while those who were getting the preferential treatment fell for the bullshit and instilled this same f***ed up mentality in their kids.
I have cousins who often use the K-word and they know that I dont appreciate that shit. I've had to go through a lot of drama for dating black girls and shit and at some point I even refused to f*** with coloured girls, cos I found them extremely superficial (A few years ago, one wanted to hook up with me, until I took off my hoodie and she realised that I have a huge "kroes" afro. She told me straight up that she only does guys wiuth straight hair. I said, "well f*** your superficial a** then" and f***ed her friend.
Yeah, to make along rant short, its inherited bullshit, that's causing shit for people now, until parents stop teaching their kids this superiority bullshit, it wont stop. Look at coloured folks from Lesotho, they were never treated any different from other black folk, so they dont have any of these complexes.
I know its easy to blame apartheid for a lot of shit, but this is one of those that will take a very long time to go away.
I've found that most often the coloured people that are most racist are the ones in the major centres like Cape Town and Jo'burg.
