If this was blacks being racist this wouldnt make the news. Even malemas racism never becomes a topic pretty much accepted by media except afrikaans newspapers.

Racism is not practiced by one race. For instance "the word lekwerekwere is used by the blacks on fellow blacks"

The black student who was killed by a fellow black student in an EC school. Is this racism or just normal?

Classic example of "Monkey see Monkey do" in that Pinelands video...That's Cape Town for you.

Im so tired of all these racist accusations and people blaming other races for this or that. Come on people we are all living breathing humans with feelings. This Country has such bigger problems. We need to stand together and fight for this Country. I hear the black South Africans when they say they are not treated equally and i sympathize with each and every one, that is why i am praying that this GNU Government will prove those haters wrong and put the poorest of the poorest needs first. But things are not going to happen overnight. 🙏

Kids also see the news.
Politicians and journalists need to mind what they say as they have a bigger platform.

Our leaders are responsible, BEE, PARLIAMENT allows statements like moer the boer and Afrikaaner blood. Now you want to blame Children. Despicable.

Wake up black child wake up down with GNU down

[GarthJack-jzkd]

So much is implied. So much is not stated directly. This is so politicised. Racialised politics should be the issue.

I disagree with you Asanda why must we take our children backwards by telling them about racesism they have a choice to choose who they accept in their space as long as they are not disrespectful toward other races..It's how we feel about the other races must not be forced to accept who we don't want to be with..
