Kaffir Boy Journal #6 On Racial Relations

Everyone got together to go against the law about all black schools having to learn Afrikaan. When I say everyone, I mean the blacks. We are tired of not being equal and having to learn something no one wants to learn. We didn’t want to continue learn slave education. Neither did we want to be forced to. When policeman pulled up, the policeman that fired shots at us were our own black people. The people of the same race as other blacks shot at us. It’s like they don’t even care about us. They have been hypnotized by these white people to be on their side. What kind of people are these? I started to begin to hate those black policemen like they were the white people, because they went against us. I bet their families are suffering but they still go against us. What have these people done to us? If only whites weren’t so demanding in doing their things their way, we wouldn’t be like this. There wouldn’t be violence, anger and frustration about who owns South Africa. If we could just share it between whites and blacks, and I’m not saying share it like the blacks get the ghetto poor areas and whites get the rich and fancy areas, but equal shares of everything. We could fix up the ghetto and put better homes. Let me just tell you now, nothing will get better unless the government listen to us too and not just their own people. The government needs to act quickly before people of their own kind start turning against their people completely. I’m pretty sure South Africa could afford for that to happen. Actually I don’t even know anymore. People could probably be glad to go against their own, well at least not care about their own people anymore. Oh this country is so said. We can’t even get our voices heard without being killed by orders from the government or whoever ordered to shoot at us. I’m so angry just writing this down. As much as I love my country, I hate whites who are in it. Why did they have to come and take South Africa away from us blacks like they don’t have enough country they’ve invaded? Whites are so selfish. They want everything for themselves. Ugh, selfish bastards. I hope that our ancestors curse these people so that we could have our country back.
