“These Blacks..”

Insert a word that has been ruled illegal. And finish off the statement, “These Blacks are all the same…”

Or what the one guy said to us, “We Coloureds don’t like Black people. Especially Xhosas. They’re all lazy.”

Yeah, racism is built on a lie. It’s evil.

I wish I could show all the racists in our country articles such as this one from News24. A group of XHOSA residents trying to fix the mess SOME other Xhosas made during their protest. I see dignity and ownership. I see hard work and sorrow.

Do you see laziness?

I have seen sweat and tears. I see domestic workers and gardeners. I see shelf packets and cashiers. I see job SEEKERS and security guards. I see road workers and police officers. In my country, I see students who can’t finish university-out even start-because they can’t afford the fees after working hard in high school. I see street sweepers and bus drivers. I see all those Blacks. I see them working hard.
