There have been a lot of people that suffered from the xenophobic attacks that have occurred in South Africa. Most of the victims are of course the black foreigners hailing from Nigeria all the way down to South Africa.
One wonders why these people are subject to such hostility and pain. Why after 1994 that black people are still fighting each other and we can not find a way to live with each other in a peaceful rainbow nation. Why can't we be happy that we have a black government in power which should be able to take care of their own people?
After all the fighting our ancestors (whether old or recent) had to endure to lay claim to what is rightfully theirs, one wonders if the fighting will ever stop.
The people of South Africa are not happy, they are fighting each other for crumbs. Why is this so? The government in power cares not to change the way things are right now, the government in power only cares about filling their pockets with enough cash, that when they retire, they will be rich and comfortable beyond measure.
The current status quo is pretty much the same as it was during the apartheid era. White people have always had economic power and they have done everything in their power to keep things that way, including infiltrating the very hearts of our government by giving them what they want, so they can keep what they want.
If we were to unit and get a government that will empower it's people economically, there would be less fighting with each other.
Black conciseness is not only about being aware that you are black, black conciseness is about realising that you have been marked by the systems put in place by the white minority on this country, that you are beneath them. This means that you have decided to fight these systems.
