Do you still have the mind of a slave

Do you still have the mind of a slave

THE moralistic condemnations that follow each episode of negrophobia – mistakenly named xenophobia – needs to make way for explanation.

All the explanations to date have failed to answer the key question: Why the orgy of violence for so little when there is so much to fight for?

A related question is: Why are only black “foreigners” targeted? What we see is in fact the outcome of the creation of the black as a subjugated non-being by the long period of racist colonisation.

The 350 years of white domination have reduced blacks to the status of sub-humans who wallow in deep darkness and have lost a sense of the self.

As Steve Biko said: “The white system has produced throughout the world a number of people who are not aware that they too are people”.

The fundamental problem is the “unpeopleness” of black South Africans, from the black squatter up to the politicians.


Blacks are the creation of whites. Modern Africa is a creation of whites. In the specific case of South Africa the creation of the black is associated with land dispossession, Christianisation and turning Africans into mere workers.
Cecil John Rhodes, one of the brutal colonialists, made it clear back then that blacks couldn’t be allowed to own land and cows because “in the future nine-tenths of them will have to spend their lives in daily labour” – basically working for whites.
This is an important issue to consider because we take it for granted that to work in order to live is a natural state of affairs.

The truth is we were made workers after being violently dispossessed of our land and black souls.
What the above shows is that you can make people into what you want them to be over time. Blacks have forgotten that they own this country, its land and wealth. They have accepted their position as workers, hence most of the so-called xenophobic attacks have been directed at those who are perceived to be stealing our jobs.

What is even more troubling is that the jobs we are prepared to kill for are the worst-paid jobs. The people of De Doorns are expelling Zimbabweans so that they can have seasonal farm jobs. This is slave labour.
These same people have never taken any meaningful action to demand land for themselves or to share in the local economy, which is owned by whites.

The problem is we have accepted a “workers consciousness” not a black consciousness, which would be a repudiation of the worker identity, an identity of subjugation.
Those who know have tried to understand how consciousness is formed. If we say blacks have over time accepted their position of inferiority that means they can’t think out of this reality.
Karl Marx has argued that “life determines consciousness”. If this is true then we have a part explanation for what seems to be the irrational behaviour of black against black for nothing.
Your circumstances determine who you are. The sense of inferiority is not just a psychological state. It is produced and reinforced by the material reality.

That is why whites are never amakwerekwere. They are employment creators and investors. They give us life. How could we not think of them as superior?
Let’s take a crude analogy. Hunting dogs catch prey for their owner and then enter into dog fights over the bones thrown to them by the lazy owner. The dogs never revolt against the owner.
Luckily for humans our minds can be aroused to higher consciousness and we can begin to ask questions of our conditions, what Biko has called Black Consciousness.
Without this consciousness it doesn’t help even if you have the vote and declare yourself liberated – your mind is still that of a slave.

Your thinking remains that of a happy hunting dog. To live you fight for bones!

O crap man! This is bullshit! Who thought out all this nonsense. They do not belong here. They must go back to Europe. Pack your bag's and go, go go!!!

Have we got news for those whities. They all think we are still depended on them and can do nothing for ourselves. We can provide for ourselves. Look who is in the top jobs today.

The whities are faaling out of the bus

To April: you must wake up, because there is sand in your eyes. Look at their movements for the Afrikaners and the small groups called Boere. Currently we have them where we want them, but I would not underestimate them. Furthermore, I am not a slave, nor do I have the mind of a slave. I am so sick of people who pity themselves.
