I'm pretty insulated to an extent but from what I stated earlier, it's all dependent on the age group. The older, the more they are willing to tell you their disgust and trust, they do, at length. I don't see that much disdain amongst the younger demo. They fully embrace the "rainbow nation" ideal. Now what I can say is, regardless of age, most whites that I correspond with distrust anything that this majority black government does. No different than the states. White folks can't accept anything a black person/people in charge issues. Where I live is majority Afrikaaner and you rarely, if ever, see any black folks dining out or walking around (unless they're servants). But whites have no reservations chillin at spots that are majority black. I know nothing about a white genocide but I do have a friend who's going to take me to an impoverished white township. I'm gonna take PLENTY of pics when I go thru there. Spent most of the weekend in Soweto and that shyt is jarring breh.
The blackouts have subsided this past week. My generator hasn't ran all this week (at least while I was home) so I don't know what happened with Eskom. We hit stage 3 for a couple of days a few weeks back and that was the worse for everyone that's around me. It was pitch black dark with the exception of my compound which was lit up like a Christmas tree. A piece of me feels bad for peeps that can't come home and cook after a long day cause the grid is all fukked up. Passing thru hoods where you see nothing but either candles lighting up homes or just nothing but darkness is spooky. Reminds me when I would visit my pops in Boca Chica.
I'm pretty much an ignorant American dudes but my girl broke it down to me this weekend about the difference in clan make up. Majority of folks I saw in Soweto were Zulu but she pointed out to me Tswana, Xhosa (very few, mostly EC), Sotho, Pedi, etc. they all black to me tho breh
I do go out of my way to not offend anyone.
I really don't know about the work environment but these cats will go on strike at the drop of a hat.
