Condescending tone aside, there is a lot of truth in that letter.
just a shame that it is overshadowed by the few stupid statements.
cosig!!
Fully agree with this.. you know, ive noticed a disturbing trends amongst darkies... and that is, a white person can criticise the guv'ment, and make very valid points whilst doing it, and everything he/she says will be dismissed because it was said a white person... and the only grounds used for dismissing that criticism would be that the white criticiser is, well, white...
To me, thats stupidity, and its a weapon that our leaders are using effectively to run-away from answering to what ppl think of them...
The ANC rarely criticises its own, so its mostly left to the opposition to do that, and unfortunately for us, the opposition is mostly white.. and so the cycle begins..
If Helen Zille says something thats not worth listening to, it must not be listened to because its not worth it, nort because she, a WHITE woman, said it..
I still say, The current leadership of this country is f***ing this country up, and thats it...
Zuma and co still sing "umshini wam", and kill so and so To me, those types of songs are irrelevant nowadays, and that type of activism has become a relic.. Honestly, we need new songs.. How about some1 writes a toy-toy song which deals with our biggest enemies right now(no, not white ppl)? like a song about HIV? or Service delivery? or Poverty? or dropped education standards? or gettin rid of corruption?
Amazingly, we r supposed to be at the cutting edge, we are supposed to be progressive thinkers.. open-minded ppl.. u know, the 'brand news'.. but we r js as backwards as the rest of them, the only difference is that we speak proper english, have non-black friends, drink alcohol with fancy names and wear expensive clothes.. but we r js as backwards as the bundu-dwellers we r so ashamed to b compared to...
