Not everything is about racism

-

YASEEN Mohamed’s letter (Election confirms US is racist at heart) of November 11 refers. What would your story have been if Hillary Clinton had come in? Looks to me that if you are non-white everything becomes a racist thing.

What of black economic empowermen­t? In this country that has a black government which is so corrupt do you hear whites complain as much as blacks about their government? Get over it.

I don’t worry about it as I’m powerless over the government. The only thing I say is it got my vote and it ends there. I do unto others as I wish done unto me. My neighbours are black and fantastic people.

With this I wish that you stop worrying about something like the US which brought blacks as slaves from Africa.

Everywhere in the world you will have racism. It is just one must learn to live the way you want to and treat the next person the same with respect. Get a life and believe in your “Higher Power”, whom I wish to call God.
