Dear Twitter Person
Your tweet below says much between the lines.
"White people are mad apparently they have reported @Julius_S_Malema to the SPCA for slaughtering a cow without covering the cow face without putting a cloth so it could remain calm 🤣🤣🤣"
Let's switch this around:
" Black people are...They.... "
Remind you of something? Yes, those mindless adherents of the brutish apartheid cult. My, you have learned well.
If the clownish Twitter police actually used their brains and could read for understanding, they would be more concerned about this sort of ranting than about trigger words taken out of context.
Comments like these abound. They are boringly similar because they all come out of an empty space where clichès and slogans rattle around. And intelligent thought fears to tread.
Racist generalizations are the first step. Anything can follow. All the way down to the "cockroach calling" of Hotel Rwanda. People who have nothing positive to offer their country tend to wallow in this murky stuff. Grow up, for Pete's sake. Or, at least, for your own sake. Everything that follows your first four words might be logical and reasonable, for all I know. Those four words place you in the deep cave of those who move in the darkness of unreasoning mental grunts, twitches and tics.
Inevitably, there was a rash of responses from other dwellers of darkness.
Out of such intimacies between mindlesness and an uncritical acceptance of racist rubbish are born the ugly progeny of hatred and division. In this case, I would support abortion. In a struggling, divided South Africa, better such comments die stillborn.
Our country needs critical thinkers. And doers. Parrots are a dime a dozen.
Yours in the struggle against mindlessness.
Richard
