[@thesoulbrother8636]

@Khensani Maswanganyi: That's because many Indians are extremely racist and it stems from that despicable cast system in their culture. They act the same way here in the Caribbean and in north America (with their racism) and many try their hardest to be white. It would be wise if Africans limit the number of them (and the Chinese) coming to your country because they bring that despicable mentality with them and they can't be trusted. Cheers🍸

It was such a taboo it is still something I notice. They must wonder why I grin like an idiot at them. It just makes me so happy. I don’t think there is hope for people like the grandmother that reacted so badly. It’s sad but I lost hope that the older generation can let go of that mindset.

[@mrsmackenzie7850]

It's not just apartheid. Black cultures differentiated by tribal. Indians in India segregated by class systems. Europe by class. So when these cultures and races mixed they added race. To make it sound it was just apartheid is not true. It's good these systems have changed. Let's stop pretending it was just apartheid.. Culture is more important not the race. You cant live with someone you dont share the same values with regardless if you have the same skin colour. Culture is not just about food and dress code. Most people can adjust to that. It's the overall belief systems...

Our people need to be about economic empowerment. We lack resources because they were systematically stripped from us. We have been economically isolated and not allowed to compete on an equal playing field. This is why there is so much poverty, crime, and hardship when it comes to our community globally. As black people our sole focus needs to be on economics. Anything also is a distraction or coping mechanisms as a means to deal with what we lack.

[@leratomoses25]

In the diverse country like South Africa, interrelationships are bond to happen. They happened during apartheid and they are happening now. How foolish apartheid it seemed then and today. What were they thinking, ‘ that evil and foul will prevail against the natives’. How stupid and nonsensical, especially when you represent it and you cannot see the wrong in it. Love will always and always prevail over evil. Peace and love to my people.

[@ManchesterBlue1894]

Stick to your own kind, diversity doesn't benefit black people

[@leratomoses25]

Man City 1894, how wrong you are. It was because of diversity of the black people and unity that we managed to free ourselves of the evil of apartheid. Africa is a diverse content and through this diversity we converged and break colonialism. Diverse means various, miscellaneous different etc, and that’s actually what black people are. And this difference and variety work for us as much as it works for the whites all over the world. I feel like I’m worsting my time entertaining a racist or ignorant black person like you . You don’t deserve my time.

The appropriate term should be "Afroasian" or "Afrosian" which will clearly depict the different origins. Africans out to be respected. Their complexion is by no way "Black"

[@trillfaldon9983]

Tha has much to do with value systems. Both Caucasians and Asians have high regards on their self-esteem, self pride and a superior view of their own cultures. Only when Africans can realize that there is value in self appreciation and a sense of respect in self pride and the projection of being superior to other cultures and do the same things to show that they are a better if not the best culture on earth they will never be respected. Mr Julius Malema is trying hard to bring back that kind of consciousness to the Africans but it's very sad there are still many Africans who doubt his ideologies and then still wonder and get surprised when they themselves get looked down upon by other cultures.

[@alanhansen6410]

@@m.g.6575 No, you are ignorant! Do you think India would allow black africains to set up businesses in India the way Indian were allowed to set ul businesses in Africa and South Africa? The answer is a big fat NO! India is a very racist country , they're even racist among themselves with the cast system. When some fled the war in India, they arrived in East Africa and South Africa and courted the colonial power at the time, the United Kingdom to get special powers to set up businesses when local people were not allowed to. And they were really racists against the locals. When the UK left the colonies and blacks became independenst, many Indians left East Africa for Europe. So, don't lie, check your facts and history!

[@kazkaz8131]

The reality is that a groups (ethnicity) power in part comes from the way we relate to each other and as far as group economics interracial relationships don't make any sense because you shouldn't date or marry outside your group because of the way money and generational wealth works. Example, Kobe dies horribly in a crash and he had a 500+ million dollar empire including venture capital firm. His net worth and holdings transferred to a Hispanic woman which is most likely not going to do anything to support black people long term and frankly why should she? Love as I have come to learn and understand is a relativity new concept and since this news is about Africa I'm sure most people and couples know when you get married its more important to align families and resources than it is to simply marry someone because you love them especially if that person is of another ethnicity. Look at any powerful and wealthy nation in the world, what you wont see is a bunch of interracial relationships you'll see a majority of any particular group at the top.

[@kazkaz8131]

@Ewarton Charlton Indeed it is a choice but at the same time you have to think about who taught us to love in the first place. Media plays a big part in how they portray couples marrying for love as opposed to marrying to align resources making love secondary. Their would never be a well funded and internationally distributed movie about a Kenyan Masai warrier and his family choosing his wife for him because in their culture your parents know best and you do not tell them no.

[@ButternutBanyana]

Exactly. Just look at how the British are punishing Prince Harry for marrying a half black woman. They know all about group economics. They can't stand Meghan benefitting in any way from British aristocracy and immense wealth created over generations. That the wealth was stolen from African nations doesn't matter to these people.

[@kazkaz8131]

@@ButternutBanyana You're right, also keep in mind Dr. Welsing's concept of them fighting for genetic survival because they cannot reproduce themselves outside of their group without inheriting African, Asian, Hispanic features.
