Dear South Africans… It’s long past time to find a way of relating to each other that forgoes the ‘group’ mentality, the apartheid mentality. We’ve been there, done that and we continue to pay the price. It will take some effort to consciously regard others as human beings primarily, which is what we have to do. Race? Colour? When do we get it into our heads that it’s a man-made construct which has already done untold harm. The challenge is to avoid talking entirely in terms of black versus white, in terms of white supremacy and black poverty; to find ways of sharing that do not leave any ‘group’ – any South Africans – ostracized or emotionally diminished, while accepting that sharing has to happen in order to empower the 50% of South Africans so bitterly abused over the years...
