When South Africa, marginalise and disregard Coloureds, it says ‘being South African means get rid of your Colouredness’-I am Coloured and so PROUD!
Coloureds are often overlooked and discriminated against. South Africa, when you marginalise and disregard us, you tell us that being South African means we must get rid of our ‘Colouredness’.
I’m sorry South Africa, but right now, just for a bit, Wayde Van Niekerk does NOT belong to YOU.
Because,
When we drink alcohol, we are ‘Coloured’.
When we say “awe mase kint”, we are ‘Coloured’.
When we have guns and knives, we are ‘Coloured’.
When we smoke tik, dagga and have crippling addictions, we are ‘Coloured’.
When we have no front teeth and kroes hair, we are ‘Coloured’.
But,
When we smash a 400m sprinting WORLD RECORD that was held for over 17 years, we’re ‘South African’ …
When we prove that we have greatness inside of us, we are ‘South African’ …
When we have the power to inspire an entire generation to believe in their dreams, we are ‘South African’ …
You see, South Africa, when you marginalise and disregard us, you tell us that being South African means we must get rid of our ‘Colouredness’.
Because you use us when you need us and when we’ve outlived our usefulness, you put us back in the Cape Flats.
But right now we are NOT in the Cape Flats.
We are in Rio and we are standing high on a podium with gold around our necks.
Because right now just for a bit
Wayde Van Niekerk is NOT South African …
Wayde van Niekerk is Coloured, Benni Mcarthy is Coloured, Steven Pienaar is Coloured, best young football manager Clint Larsen is Coloured, Kwagga is Coloured, Bryan Habbana is Coloured, best comedian Trevor Noah is Coloured, best politician Trevor Manual is Coloured, Hector Pietersen was Coloured, SA’s original anti-apartheid challenger/activist Mr Morris Fynn was Coloured …
I am COLOURED and so PROUD!
P/S … Let’s make this heartfelt post go viral amongst all our cyber contacts, because in a majority black South Africa us Coloured’s are BEST skilled and hardest workers and the BEST damn sports people, as is the case in the USA, yet … We are often overlooked and discriminated against.Keith Solomon Williams.
