These are the attacking (on one side) and smiling (on the other side) faces of white racism - on a black woman wanting to tell her story of racism. They denounced her experience, saying they are tired of hearing it. At an event sponsored by NandosSA.

I’m in no position to speak about how whites experienced apartheid South Africa or how they experience the current democratic dispensation even as I have a view. But I will never pretend to know nor speak on their behalf. I hope they’ll do the same.

After much thought and recent events, I'm leaning towards voting for GOOD. They're one of the few parties that are addressing homelessness as a core value. Low bar, but I'm keen to give them a chance. Here's their manifesto: forgood.org.za/wp-content/upl… Who else is considering them?

For those of us ⚪️ interested in learning more about Ubuntu, an African way of being, an intro is Everyday Ubuntu by Mungi Ngomane, #ArchbishopDesmondTutu's granddaughter. Shola Richards' book Go Together is also useful.

Accountability only feels like an attack when you don't realise the damage or effect your actions have on other people. So the next time you feel that you are being "attacked" or "cancelled", consider listening instead of defending.

The stress of scrolling through #Instagram these days and trying to fly past suggested posts before you fall into the algorithm matrix where all you see for the rest of your days are random toddlers trying to ballroom dance.
