White People are Vile

Quoting something someone posted on X.

No offense, but to me, that’s just as vile as the person who promoted her to type that is. It was in response to some teen (who should know better) calling a young Black man, the K word.

What followed was a lot of “See? I told you White people are evil! See, they’ll never change.” And the above line. Going ahead generalizing a whole group of people because of one idiot who hasn’t yet emigrated. Please, do us a favour, if you hate us, leave our continent! I’ve asked this before. 😝

And while we are calling White people “vile,” let’s not forget ourselves too. I hope when the next taxi protest starts and buses are petrol bombed, innocent people attacked, she will say, “Black people vile.” Keep the same generalising energy, sis. Or change it completely.

I’ve walked past quite a few Black staff members in shops. Not wanting to work hard, not wanting to leave even ten minutes after the shop closes to count stock etc. Not wanting to be helpful to a customer who can’t find something… Should I then say “Black people are lazy?”

South Africa is a mess. Our economy is going down the drain. We should be focusing our ire on the criminals scaring tourists away and scaring overseas investors. We should be protesting and demanding that the government to build proper toilets in all schools so that no more children die in pit latrines. But other than lambasting White people, these people aren’t into reality, but into celeb watching. That celebrity won’t save or economy. Won’t raise the number of available jobs.

I love my country. I love all people. Criminals, racists, petrol bombers..are vile.

As a Christian, I’ll repeat a portion of scripture I referred to when racists were vile to me.

For I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Great and marvelous are they world, and that my soul knoweth right well. Ps 139:14

White people who uplift others, who care, who share, who don’t paint everyone with a brush that only a select few deserve…They are wonderfully made. Just as much as Black kind-hearted people are.

Remember the Black Sash and the Whites who fought against apartheid… It wasn’t only Mandela and Zuma who were fighting. People of all races did. Read their books. See how even their three year old children were targeted. I wish that unity would prevail and fill our whole land with peace-lovers.

I guess we will have to wait for heaven for that. If you’re a Bible reader, you know things are only going to get worse.🥹
