[size=17pt]All Nigerians with Slave Mentality Shoul read This[/size]

There were two kinds of slaves, the house Negro and the field Negro. The house Negroes - they lived in the house with master, they dressed pretty good, they ate good because they ate his food - what he left. They lived in the attic or the basement, but still they lived near the master; and they loved the master more than the master loved himself. They would give their life to save the master's house - quicker than the master would. If the master said, "We got a good house here," the house Negro would say, "Yeah, we got a good house here." Whenever the master said "we," he said "we." That's how you can tell a house Negro.

If the master's house caught on fire, the house Negro would fight harder to put the blaze out than the master would. If the
master got sick, the house Negro would say, "What's the matter, boss, we sick?" We sick! He identified himself with his master, more than his master identified with himself. And if you came to the house Negro and said, "Let's run away, let's escape, let's separate," the house Negro would look at you and say, "Man, you crazy. What you mean, separate? Where is there a better house than this? Where can I wear better clothes than this? Where can I eat better food than this?" That was that house Negro. In those days he was called a "house nigger." And that's what we call them today, because we've still got some house niggers running around here.

This modern house Negro loves his master. He wants to live near him. He'll pay three times as much as the house is worth just to live near his master, and then brag about "I'm the only Negro out here." "I'm the only one on my job." "I'm the only one in this school." You're nothing but a house Negro. And if someone comes to you right now and says, "Let's separate," you say the same thing that the house Negro said on the plantation. "What you mean, separate? From America, this good white man? Where you going to get a better job than you get here?" I mean, this is what you say. "I ain't left nothing in Africa," that's what you say. Why, you left your mind in Africa.

On that same plantation, there was the field Negro. The field Negroes - those were the masses. There were always more Negroes in the field than there were Negroes in the house. The Negro in the field caught hell. He ate leftovers. In the house they ate high up on the hog. The Negro in the field didn't get anything but what was left of the insides of the hog.

The field Negro was beaten from morning to night; he lived in a shack, in a hut; he wore old, castoff clothes. He hated his master. I say he hated his master. He was intelligent. That house Negro loved his master, but that field Negro - remember, they were in the majority, and they hated the master. When the house caught on fire, he didn't try to put it out; that field Negro prayed for a wind, for a breeze. When the master got sick, the field Negro prayed that he'd die. If someone came to the field Negro and said, "Let's separate, let's run," he didn't say, "Where we going?" He'd say, "Any place is better than here."

Malcolm X
Couldn't have said it beta myself.

Rest in peace Malcolm. You are my role model for life and they knew you spoke the trugth. Thats why they killed you.

I would rather we Nigerians become extinct before succumbing to such stupidity

RSA:
Let me say this,the reason South Africa will never be like any other failed state in Africa is because our people demand changes when the goverment is not delivering.Goverment must listen to its people not the other way round.Fortunately for me I live in a upmarket subburb where service delivery is not and has never been a problem but I do understand the frustrations that this poor people go through,they want the goverment to act on it's promises and sometime violence(not killing) is the only way you can draw attention,esspecially when you're poor.
I don't condone violence but that's the only way they can be taken seriously.This has nothing to do with foreiners but a South African problem
Every thing that I have written in my previos posts have come to pass. I had said how the government would be confronted early on in its admisnistration regarding the "poor" class citizens.  It is in every SA's right to demand and pressure its government to look into their needs as this is the job they have been elected to do using "Civil unrest", as a means to achieve such a goal. In no circumstance is and should "violence be condoned" as an acceptance for frustrations. Who are you being Violent against is the question?

Stricter welfare state laws will drive investment out of the country as the market enviroment becomes more government regulated. The only way the government can counter this, if they choose to move towards a socialist state is to give the means for their people to become self sufficient by encouraging self reliance. The middle class should be the focus of most of their programs by giving them incentives to create new enterprises therby employing and training underskilled labor. The big business can be taxed a litte more to fund these programs and in exchange they restricted less as far as business is concerned.

PS the word "foreigner' has very evil connotations. Words are very powerful in how they are used. I would prefer you call these people Non South Africans or by their nationalities. At least give them that dignity.

It has started again.

As I predicted it was only a matter of time. When we talk now they will say we are hating.
