Race war? Not if I can help it!

I’ve been shocked and disappointed over the past few days to observe my fellow citizens devolve to racial stereotyping and unpleasant epithets  about each other. I’m not limiting this comment to any particular racial group either: I’ve heard black persons speak about driving the white cockroaches into the sea or chopping them up with pangas, and whites refer to the murdering baboons they live amongst and threatening to reach for their guns.

The really sad part about this is that these people regard each other as radical extremists, but don’t see this failing in themselves, and don’t consider that the vast majority of the population are decent, law-abiding citizens who actively seek a positive outcome for their country. Let me make it very clear: we need to put aside our differences, and work towards a future where our country is prosperous, where all our people live in a land of peace and opportunity, unless we want the bloodshed and hatred, the rape and plunder to continue.

We need to hold our elected representatives to account, and where they fail, vote them out of office. We need to educate and uplift each other – only in this way, will our country grow strong and healthy.
