Kanye West is right, white lives matter

-

I DO not know the validity of claims that Kanye West is mentally unstable, but I do know that when he was getting divorced, many were very happy.

Yes, we live in a world where the pain of someone, depending on public narratives, can be a source of pleasure. Such was the time of Donald Trump when he was still president in the US. But all lives matter.

As a result, I see nothing wrong with West wearing a T-shirt saying, “White Lives Matter”.

I find it surprising that black people whose leaders in Africa have failed to even surpass the poor conditions of colonialis­m and apartheid would now be experts on which lives matter.

We all know that for any black person visiting any major SA city or town, the most dangerous places are not where there is white racism or apartheid-gained prosperity, but where there are poor social conditions and black people.

Whites need blacks and blacks need whites.

The sooner we embrace the need to collaborat­e, the greater our ability to change the destructiv­e course our country is taking.
