Ponderings of the Man from Mpofana...

I'd like to start by saying my level of understanding of black America is of an outsider & will always be of an outsider, all I know is basic sociology & human interaction that allowed me to create this solution.  I believe if the USA really wanted African Americans to leave to Liberia/Maryland, they should've made the transition as easy as possible. Maybe even offer free trips & benefits... but Liberia had established tribes who lived there so maybe they could've got an island off the coast of Africa or some island in the Atlantic Ocean. My best solution for a black Usonian state would be to get the island Haiti & Dominican Republic currently is... make that a US state just for black people. And in time, grant it independence. Haitians & Dominicans could still speak Creole, French & Spanish & do whatever they did before... The new country could be called Ayiti... they could consider themselves as part of Africa or the Americas or both... I c

1) The problem with claiming "you made someone" of a different race or even ethnicity to you is that to them, you're just being stupid. Because even if you did "make them", you gave away for free what you could've kept for your own race & ethnicity. Claiming a black person is white because they're better than many white people at a particular task won't make the black person white. You don't become another race because of a certain level of competence. Even if the famous Michael Jackson bleached his skin, learnt Hungarian & how to manufacture a gun from scratch; he still wouldn't have been white. Likewise, getting a suntan & learning Swahili wouldn't have made F. W. de Klerk black. Hijacking the success of other races is another form of soft neocolonialism.  2) Black unity was introduced to South Africa - & perhaps Africa - by a group of academics who were educated by people who were not from Africa, not to say black unit

I am trying to realise what it means being a white South African & I will surely never understand as a black person but knowing that the whole world, apart from a few far-right groups, questions your existence in Africa must make you consider whether you really belong in Africa. I mean, sure, you could be hard-headed & continue forging ahead with the (now defunct) colonial ideal but after all the wars & racist policies, it is no longer welcome in Africa. So what to do with white South Africans?  The group of whites that is considered the most racist in the world: white South Africans. What's makes them particularly more racist than other white people worldwide? The future of the white South Africans .  I think as Africans wake up to their world, the idea of colonisers - let alone colonisers hogging their land's economy - will be less welcome. What we will see is increasing xenophobic sentiments towards South Africa's white population. And I can imagi
