The racist joke, told in whites-only confines, is seldom challenged; the person who utters it is seldom shamed.
It is interesting to see some in the white community preparing their responses to the awful racist incident at Stellenbosch University where a white student urinated on the books and belongings of a black student. “Not all whites…” has been one of the predictable arguments which followed the outrage over what is, effectively, a hate crime.
It is interesting to see some in the white community preparing their responses to the awful racist incident at Stellenbosch University where a white student urinated on the books and belongings of a black student. “Not all whites…” has been one of the predictable arguments which followed the outrage over what is, effectively, a hate crime.educational institutions“But why the fuss – no one died” was one line of logic which tossed in additional whataboutery by raising the spectre of black-on-white farm murders and alleged genocide.
The fact that this incident happened in South Africa, 28 years after the official end of the apartheid system – and in the same week that at least 10 black people were murdered by a young white gunman in Buffalo, New York – shows that racism is very much alive and well.And a major part of the reason for its hale and hearty existence is because so many well-meaning and thinking white people turn a blind eye to it.
And so children learn by example. The alleged perpetrator was a “born free”, who arrived into a country which was politically democratic for the first time in its history.
