But it got me thinking. <br />My conclusion: I reject the label “racism” and all other –isms.<br />There are two kinds of people in this world, those that harbor baseless hatred and those that don’t. It’s been like this since the beginning and will probably always be so. Groups of people hating other groups that look different or think differently. And when they all look the same they form tribes and go to war. And when they all belong to the same tribe and have the same faith system they put their kids in houses at school or form sports teams - artificial divisions to create rivalry, an excuse to go to war.<br /><br />Some of us have evolved to live and let live and some have not. <br /><br />Do what you like. Do it quietly and don’t hurt people animals or nature.<br /><br />All this from a right-wing, occupying, apartheid, Zionist!

Neighbors who didn't want blacks living next door to them, or the bookseller in one bookstore in Sea Point who told me how savage blacks are and how they only understand violence. I've heard it from mixed-race individuals towards blacks too. Very disheartening--I came to this country thinking there was greater dialogue between races, greater openness about problems, but now I am not so certain.Mattnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6644742690759744999.post-5411274211544707252010-01-22T08:37:18.369+02:002010-01-22T08:37:18.369+02:00As a born and bred Capetonian it is very sad for m...As a born and bred Capetonian it is very sad for me to say that your assessment of racism here is 100% accurate.Ramblings of a disturbed mindhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10193831469559929129noreply@blogger.com
