I was chatting to a friend this morning (Timon) and for a moment we thought how life would be if we still had apartheid, WOW! the amount of things that would change.
People you interact with would change and how you interact would change, it would prob even change what you did for a living and how you saw yourself and others. Also I’m pretty sure that with many people thinking I’m black (many) and my husband white (they think these things) we would have even more stares. (Personaly I like interacial couples, they make the cutest kids, lol)
I hate racism, I was a little girl when I had this old white lady refer to my brother and I as dirty little monkeys, my parents could not really do anything and that thought stayed with me.
How can you base your feelings towards someone on nothing, but the colour of their skin.(seriously there is so much more to be annoyed about, hehe)
Personally I am a equal opportunity racist, I have been annoyed by most of South Africa’s races, mine included, the colour of your eyes, hair and skin doesn’t bother me, if you are a jerk, you are a jerk – the colour code doesn’t matter (same with your status in life, an idiot is an idiot regardless of what they have in their wallet).
No I’m not preaching I just think that even though we do hav LOTS to be worried about and LOTS to complain about (and hopefully change) we also have LOTS to be thankful for as we have a chance our ancestors didn’t have, we get to judge people on who they are and not what they are, that’s BIG.
