Tired of negative vibes people carry toward each other, those who stay love the country, intend helping wherever possible, too many don't see it this way!
Constant burning, rioting all does more harm than good!
My great-grandmother arrived with original 1820 settlers rightly or wrongly that is 200 years ago. Third generation born here one feels unwelcome at times in your own home, yet where would be go? I am African!
Hi Joan
I totally get what you are saying but after you are knocked down again and again, you start getting weary of getting up and fighting the good fight, you know what I mean?
My grand and great grandfathers both faught in World Wars to defend this country so I too have roots here that are deep, having a legacy here is important and I can appreciate your ancestry here too, it's also not something that I think you should be made to be ashamed of, I am proud of my ancestry even if others don't agree.
I love it here, I will always think it is one of the most beautiful places on earth, my heart will always belong here but it just seems to be getting worse at an increasing pace. I want to be positive and would love to be a part of the rebuilding of the rainbow nation, but where do we even start?
Our roots are so mixed and so deep very difficult to follow through, one grand dad arrived with Boer War, my father fought in WW11, brothers conscripted in their youth all to what end?
No we get up dust off and go again, youth must try rebuild new lives if they are able to find an open welcoming door.
Making positive by building friendships with new neighbours, community, getting to know more, learn how very different we are yet similar, there is no right nor wrong.
