Thoughts of a person belonging to a minority

Opinion by Daniel Sutherland

I just had this thought. Is it now too late to save this country? We have been trying for years to shout from the rooftops that the country is sinking in a quagmire. Yet it seems that all our efforts were just in vain ,what we are facing is an entrenched ideology of entitlement and expectancy of free everything in the majority of the black population for perceived historical mistreatment (debate on its own).

Of course this narrative was largely entrenched and driven by Malema and the EFF, but now so pervasive that it is also ANC policy and even the DA’s Maimane is too weak to set an alternative narrative, so he seemed to have joined the black nationalist bandwagon as well as the “white privilege” debate rages .

Stealing, looting, robbing, taking from the white man are all seen as justified actions because “it is our turn to eat” .

In this new narrative they will tell you openly that this is a black country and you are disqualified from most jobs and perks. It is their country, as their politicians say, we only cater for “our people” .

Our skin colour as minorities disqualify us from most jobs, we stand last in the queue when it comes to handing out free houses and jobs and we have to pay for everything ourselves because the State is collapsing and cant provide proper security, healthcare or education .If we complain we are racists.

What to do now ? In nature there is only 2 possibilities. Fight or Flight. Those who freeze in fear gets eaten alive.

So my question now is. What will you do? It is not a game anymore. And no, I wasn’t talking about physical fighting as that is never a solution. We have nothing to fight with anyway. We are disarmed and helpless against criminals as it is.

We are slowly being mowed down and nobody seems to care.
