Kaffir Boy Journal #7 On education #2

What is with this family and education? If my wife’s children was raised and lived in the tribal reserves, they would hate education and know the truth about education just like me. Education is just a way to get into black people’s mind to teach how to be white people’s slaves. My father told me all kinds of stories that made me believe that education was the tool to get white people to take things away from me and other black people. I told myself that I would never get an education because those white fools won’t control me all my life. Not one bit. White man’s education is worthless insofar as black people were concerned because it prepared us blacks for jobs we wouldn’t even have. Now tell me, does that sound like a useful time to get an education. NO! I think my wife has some witchcraft in her because she thinks education will get the kids a better life. I was trying to tell her that it was a waste of our money and time to even take our kids there but she didn’t listen. What makes her think the Whites will change their minds about blacks getting fancy jobs and a fancy house? That is what I call nonsense. I really don’t have money to waste for paying for Mark’s education. Neither do I have time to waste arguing with my wife about education. I even told her that she should find work not to pay for his education but for other things like food and groceries. I actually don’t want my wife to work because of my reputation. I would look ridiculous if the woman I owned was to work. I really just don’t believe in schools for her to take Mark to school. I tried to knock some sense into her by beating her up. I was kind of drunk but I know what I was saying and doing. She deserved it because she disobeyed my orders. Wife’s these days disobeying their husbands because they are not in the tribal reserves. If only they knew how we men are still in charge and we own these people. Anyway one day she’ll see that it was a waste of time to send her children to school. I say her children or the children because I don’t consider them my children. If they were my children, they would obey my orders and practice what I believe is the way of life, not their mother’s beliefs. They are just living in a lie. They will come back crawling to me when everything goes bad. Let us just wait and see.
