I know. I promised to stay away. It's just easier said than done.
Anyway, this one'll be short.
According to the SACPYL and the ANCYL, the fact that only black miners were shot at Lonmin is a part of some big race conspiracy.
I want to add to that.
Damn you white people!
Damn you for getting up every day and doing jobs you hate so you can pay for your kids to go to school!
Damn you for working second jobs to pay the bills when time is tough!
Damn you for working through university, so you could afford your living expenses!
Damn you for not picking up machetes and tires and lynching innocent people when you have a wage dispute!
Oh. Wait. Never mind.
Carry on. SOMEONE has to do those things, and it seems you're damned if you do, damned if you don't anyway.
To the idjits who are demanding a probe into why only black miners were shot, they were the only people who took up arms to make a point better made in court - or at the labour department (snigger. As if.)
White people work for crappy salaries too. All the time. So do coloureds, Indians and all other races in SA. They just don't try to change their circumstances by being savages.
It's SO not a race thing. It's a class thing.
And if you don't get that, then that's a class thing too.
