Stevie Wonder and Paul McCartney may have been onto something...
The saddest thing to come of this farcical circus otherwise known as the State Of The Nation Address is, contrary to popular belief, not the great revelation that the ruling party is a bunch of bungling buffoons interspersed with the odd maniacal manipulator. Rather it's the reaction of a dumbstruck proletariat. The willful ignorance. The plainly unsophisticated attempts at humour. The surprising surprise. The shock and indignation, as if they were expecting a civilised discourse concluding in a rational solution towards a colourblind Utopia.
And the unashamed racism. Oh the racism! Ja but it's kak unfair that we don't get everything the way we used to! Let me tell you something you blinkered fool. The degree to which I have struggled in my life time to find employment in the field for which I hold a Masters, is staggering compared to yours. Nothing says overqualified, under experienced, too white and too male more than a look in my mirror. Yet somehow I manage to refrain from blaming my woes on the inevitable redress. Amazing isn't it? Perhaps, instead of besmirching social media with your archaic and hate filled rhetoric, you went out and did something pro-active to improve your life and the lives of others you'd feel more fulfilled. I suppose it's a small mercy that you've taken a break from posting 20 billion pictures of your progeny, or someone else's pet.
How is it possible, in this the age of enlightenment, that we are surrounded by such bald faced bigotry? Did you watch 12 Years A Slave and root for the slaver? Do you yearn for the good ol' days when every person of colour was stripped entirely of their basic human rights? You're complaining because your undeserved privilege has been diminished and the elected leaders of the day are making matters worse. Fair enough. Almost. How about the vast majority that still endure daily strife and will never see the level of privilege you once enjoyed? Do they fit your cultural profiling, or is your resentment reserved only for the new black elite?
Perspective is everything. All you're doing is outing yourself as an infantile shithead incapable of discerning the dire from the dramatic. You're actually lending credence to the assertion that Steve Hofmeyr is as dangerous as he is awful. And that you're no better than the lecherous leeches dismantling our fragile co-existence. Yes, their actions are despicable, and their transparent lack of giving a fuck even more so. Your forefathers did worse and they were my colour. The way forward is not to point fingers and promote divide. That's a recipe for disaster more devastating than the current train wreck. Charity starts at home, ladies and gentlemen. And by that I mean your Homepage.
I'm not suggesting for one minute you fall silent on the irrefutable truth of the ANC government's glaring fuck ups, deliberate or otherwise. Please feel free to ridicule and repost as much as your black little hearts desire. God knows South Africa needs the humorous distraction. But for fuck's sake would you please stop blaming the colour, culture or creed of these clowns. I've said it before, but it obviously needs saying again. Cunts are cunts regardless of their pigment.
Spread The Love. Ebony And Ivory... All Together Now!
