So lets talk about class baby.
Enough about race, let’s talk about class
Sandile Memela writes:
“If truth be told, black people are not interested in the confessions of white people who suffer with guilt from the sins of colonialism and apartheid. In the 21st century where both colonialism and apartheid have – depending on how you look at things – been defeated, we don’t want to know of people who indulge in self-flagellation. In fact, we should be disappointed that there are some whites who think they please blacks by making the issue of race an obsession in a non-racial society.
If white people want to remain relevant to genuine transformation and change in this country, we want to hear or see them talk about the issue of class oppression and exploitation. It is only when they address the issue of class and power more than the matter of race that they can make significant changes to the economic structures in our society. For far too long, whites have expected blacks to embrace them and treat them as heroes for simply being so-called anti-apartheid or guilt-ridden. But we now demand that whites (and blacks) raise the issue of class contradiction in our society, especially those inherent within the capitalist condition. Perhaps blacks know that when white comrades and intellectuals raise the issue of class, we will sooner see how blacks have betrayed themselves.”

i fully agree with this statement, no one can liberate a black man from his own beliefs about his reality than himself, its fundamental that intraspection and the soverinity of each soul is liberted and its confidence in its own abilities restored, all souls are born into grace, we learn and aquire beliefs of seperation, lack and powerlessness from experiencing life the currentcombined created enviroment that is derived from so many conflicyting beliefs that are taught and spread without ta thought of there effects in the young mind, we must re-member our selves, nkow our selves as individaul expressions of christ conciousness expressing ourselves through our beliefs,imaginings,thoughts and there ultimate manifestation in our personal realities and our combined world. till we each individaully know that the power of the universe lays within and not on the outside, will we beable to move to change first ourselves then the world. this is the message god shared and commanded, know thyself, then love thy nieghbour as thyself.
a lifetime is designed for a good 100 years , we are wasting time and valuable human resources nitpicking,demorralising,segregating and trying rectify past injustices. its the past. Now is all we have, and the thoughts,and exzample we set today will bring tommorrows challenges, we are simply repeating the past in another way.Free first the mind OF THE individaul from its torture of faulty beliefs, then liberation will be enjoyed by all who desire prosperity,peace and harmoney, it will be theres, the living dead will be swept up by the positive growth and dynasism created by the free. and we will all prosper. on the otherhand unfairly tipping the scales to serve one sector of the poulace at the expense of the the others is a deadly ,selfish, unconciouse mistake, that cannot be fixed by the wave of a dictatorship or surrpressive regime. we will all suffer the consequences down the road.AND IT WILL A BE COSTLY waste of a trained and capable work force. the drivers of economy and a nations wealth.absorbed into other fair and thriving economys.
