Xenophobia

In this country we have short-cuts to everything, including the scapegoats we adopt when we can't navigate out of a sticky situation. Recently with Julius Malema making it a habit of pointing fingers at Helen Zille it has become fashionable again us to realise that there are darkies and larnies. So, this week I tried to look at how much prejudice do we cultivate in the name of political correctness. I would challenge many darkies who live in townships to protest when I call them bloody racist scoundrels who make the larnies their scapegoats.

A certain academic once observed that in 1994 when apartheid finally crumbled 'the settlers were forced out of the ossewa but the problem was that the wagon was never dismantled' instead the newly truimphant darkies marched into it and occupied the warm laureals left by the fleeing Boers. Suddenly you had darkies who were moving to the previously exclusively white suburbs, those who were taking their kids to previosly Model C schools, playing golf and taking up gym memberships they didn't intend to use. In other words they became the new ruling class with an elitist twist. It showed that they hated apartheid not because it was evil but because of the advantages that it was providing to white people. They hated the Boer because they envied everything about him. They wanted his schools, suburbs, cars and power.

And now the same darkies have got the audacity to stand ontop of highrise buildings and accuse whites of not understanding darkies because they (whites) have never been to darkie areas as if it's the rite of passage to be considered a South Afrikan. At the mere mention of a larney who has never walked my ghetto being less-patriotic I usually ask if we major conformity by visitation.

Then I adk the so-called hardcore ghetto dwellers to tell me how many of them have been to a Coloured suburb? How many of you darkies have ever been to Eldos, Phillipi, Westbury and even Valencia? Darkies talk all shit about how Coloureds are mentally unstable and how they'll never hesitate to strangle you with a guitar string or stab you after another session of tik. That's perception; based on lies and miseducation by apartheid authorities. The problem is that the only time television shows Coloureds is when the story is about drugs, gang violence, teenage pregnancy and spinning cars.

Thus the Coloured becomes a distorted race. A race associated with everything bad. A race which's suburbs darkies are scared to walk. But the same darkies accuse whites of the same crime. Hypocrite muthafuckas! That's xenophobia and it should stop.
