So many words
written about a stupid employee employed by a stupid company, who mistakenly
thought she/he could save a lot of time by re-enacting job reservation in the
name of the new apartheid. The amount of
mealy mouthed, sanctimonious, responsibility evading commentaries that have
been made about this topic, would make a whore with the most advanced gag-reflex
control, projectile vomit across a soccer pitch.
There are no
shortage people who fondly believe themselves to be luminaries, such as Jacques
Rousseau, and a whole gamut in between, to comedian (?) John Vlismis who have all weighed in, on this,
beating their little self-righteous chests, and bleating plaintively about the
need to address the “injustices of the past” by wait for it, continuing to discriminate
against people on the basis of race. The
most recent diatribe, and the reason for this substantially shorter piece on
the subject, is none other than the MD of TBWA Hunt Lascaris, an advertising
agency (really?) either pitching for, or recently lost the Woolworths business.
The chorus
which they all sing is nauseatingly familiar, it is not about addressing the
injustices of the past, as they announce with such alacrity, it is beyond any
doubt to prop up their decaying positions in the current rotten corporate and
tertiary education hegemony, dominated as it is by unconcealed racists who dole
out tenures and positions to those who best lick racist boots. This is the
cacophonic chorus of in the interests of redress to keep the minority oppressed
at the pleasure of the minority. A minority which to their chagrin and great
personal revulsion, they unfortunately find themselves ,members of, if only
they could change their own melanin levels and join in, in the unbridled
condemnation of the pariahs, they so fervently wish they did not resemble in colouring
and hair consistency, where applicable.
This
outpouring of verbal diarrhea in support of a practice which debases humans and
reduces them to mere skin coloured objects of various shades to be pushed
around an environment ruled by colour, is beyond reasonable human comprehension
and is redolent of the actions of collaborators of Nazi Germany leading up to
and during World War Two, who for a few favours, and be allowed to live a
little longer would sell out their fellow humans. History is littered with the bones of
collaborators, who died at the hands of the oppressors while waiting to be
favoured for their betrayal. These are the
Judas goats of history, the cowards of no moral convictions, and the abusers of
human rights by omission and silence.
Not one
person has stood up from their scrupulously guarded liberal bolt holes and said
that human rights abuse cannot be tolerated, nor can human rights be selectively
applied to one elite group of humans who happen to be more favoured than others
on the basis of their skin colour. Not one person has taken a stand to say
that, the injustices of the past can best be addressed by not perpetuating them
into the future. Because as it stands we are as a people becoming more and more
polarized and enraged by those who would
manipulate race for their own advantage, instead of constructively uplifting people because not of
their colour, but because of their humanity. The lack of cognitive processes in
these sycophants, who are too eager to please the race Nazis of the day, makes
them beneath contempt.
If the worth
of humans could not be measured by skin colour before 1994, leading up to the removal
of the racist government of the day, what the hell makes it acceptable now, 18
years after democracy?
