Guptas did what blacks do
BLACK South Africans are hypocrites. The Gupta family is not racist. It was their right to choose who served them at their daughter ’ s wedding at Sun City.
Black South Africans are the ones who are racist – and worse – against our own race.
We like seeing our people cry, sad, angry and helpless. Go to many government offices and see how black people treat other black people.
I can’t blame the Guptas for this.
How many teachers are teaching in township schools while their children are taught in former model C schools? This is a choice and that is what the Guptas did.
We are racists who vandalise and burn facilities that service us. No one in their right mind could burn a clinic that helps their family.
Who else has burned so many libraries other than black people since the dawn of democracy in South Africa? And those libraries were meant to help black communities.
I can’t blame the Guptas for this.
In most of the troubled municipalities around the country, black South Africans are the ones “misleading” and fellow blacks are the ones who are still under-serviced by these municipalities.
I can’t blame the Guptas for this.
Instead of taking our sons and daughters to libraries at weekends or at any other time, we sit in all corners drinking alcohol and making a noise about nothing.
We are good at complaining. When it is time to find solutions, we are negative .
We have failed ourselves economically because we do not support businesses owned by fellow blacks. For example, the black business owner will not give satisfactory service to a fellow black person. He will cut corners and that will be his downfall. And this is why blacks do not trust blacks in business.
Just like we choose schools for our children, our doctor when we are ill, our friends and what car we want to drive – the Guptas did the same at Sun City.
