I am a black guy from S.A.Being black to me means always trying to prove myself to white people that we are of equal in terms of qualifications and work in general.Being black means constantly being harassed by police which in most cases are also black.I am proud of being an african and black ,because everytime I have to go an extra mile.If I were to choose in the next life time I WOULD BE BLACK AGAIN AND GO THROUGH IT AGAIN.

In Nigeria when you came into democracy I believe the were no white people you had to prove youself too.You must understand that here in South Africa lots of companies are owned by the whites (minority)which are private owned.So the can dictate how much you earn these going back to the issue of proving oneself.You can get an CIVIL Engineer who is white we are doing the same work same years of experience but he earns twice as me.So if I would make you understand social politics of S.A then you will understand

Y'know what that's pretty much the situation for any black person growing up in a white country.

you can use a word Albino(Skin pigment deformation resulting into white skin) for whites. If they can keep names so can others. Color of the skin is the just a formation of skin pigments. If the whites consider that being a black or brown means a deformation of skin the even white color of the skin is due to lack of pigments so even that is deformation of skin. Though blonde is normal color and Albino is a disease but indirectly both means white this will be tit for tat answer for racial idiots. If they think that being black is disease then even being white is a disease.

 

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albino

 

These whites think that they were given higher status by God. But most of the religious figures of all religion were non whites then why and how do these white consider themselves higher than others. Either they consider each and every one as equal or even they will be treated with discrimination.

 

http://www.answers.com/albino

 

Even the word negro was a corruption of greek word nekros meaning  Necrophagy a term used to describe that group of people who feed on dead bodies. There are few group of people in Africa and a sect called Aghori saints and Rakshash tribe of  India who feed on corpses but this was their culture to perform last rituals of their dead but in Africa there were even other group of people who used to bury and other group of people who used to cremate so the term Nekro is not applicable for all. But some of these white had generalized the term Negro for all non whites. If they can use the term Nekro(Negro) as a common terminology for depicting blacks even though it is a term used to depict cannibalism  then why can’t we use the term Albino as a common terminology for depicting all whites even though it is a term used to depict a disease.

 

http://www.answers.com/topic/necrophagy-1

 

http://www.answers.com/topic/cannibalism

 

(Note: -Though there might be genuine reasoning for such practices of cannibalism but such practices should not be continued because there can be psychos in the society who can misuse this practice by killing innocent children. Due to this reason such practices were abandon. )

 

But as some practices were abandon so even the discrimination should also be abandon people should not recognize each other by their race rather they should recognize people on the bases of their skills. But if there are some racists who still discriminate people then even they should be answered back in the same manner by keeping names to them as Albinos.

@Browndash,

I have only visited S.A once briefly.

I would welcome more information from you about How Black South Africans feel in their own country?

What the situation is like with the fall of Apathid (spelling)?

Also, why are so many of the White moving out of S.A to European etc?

What do you feel about the Future in South African?

I am genuinely interested in your point of view and will not belittle it with simply glossing over it by saying your experience is the same as our here in the U.K or U.S.A rather I would like to learn about S.A so please fill in the Gaps for a better understanding.

The earth was designed to thrive and continue from heat and sunlight. Everything on this earth is created and adapted to thrive on the earth through the sun. It's human nature, thus why black people were created with melanin as a protection of the sun. Strange isn't it... God creates a race that is adaptible and physically stronger for life on earth then creates another that is COMPLETELY the opposite... Must make them wonder ?? and alot of white peoples jealousy of blacks thrives from this.
