WHO IS THE RACIST?
*
You pass me on the street and sneer in my direction.
You call me "Whiteboy," "Famma," "Maboeroe," “Lekoa,” "Whitey," “Settler,” "White Trash" and that's OK.
But when I call you, nigger, caffir, piksteel, houtkop, muntu, or Gook, you call me a racist.
You say that whites committed a lot of violence against you, so why are the ghettos, townships and Africa the most dangerous places to live?
You have bursaries for previously disadvantaged.
You have Freedom Day.
You have Youth Day.
You have Thabo Mbeki.
You have affirmative action
You have Black Economic Empowerment
You have Employment equity.
You have BCM, PAC and Azapo.
You have people singing “kill the Boer, the famma” .
If we had WET (White Entertainment Television) we'd be racists. If we had a White Pride Day you would call us racists. If we had white history month, we'd be racists.
If we had an organization for only whites to "advance" our lives, we’d be racists or white supremacists.
If we had a college fund that only gave white students scholarships, you know we'd be racists. There are 100% Black colleges and universities in SA, yet if there were "Afrikaans universities" that would be a racist college.
In the Soweto March, you believed that you were marching for your race and rights. If we marched for our race and rights, you would call us racists.
You are proud to be black, and you're not afraid to announce it. But when we announce our white pride, you call us racists.
You rob us, murder us, rape us, hi-jack us, and shoot at us. But, when a white man hoots a black man, murder or burglar posing a threat to society, you call him a racist.
I am proud. But, you call me a racist. Why is it that only whites can be racists?
