When we think of racism it never crosses your mind that it something that takes place in an learning environment where learners are suppose to be taught between right and wrong, it's gob smacking to think that there is non equality in classrooms because of color and race  one would think that it is a thing of the past. A classroom is a place where a child is suppose to nurtured and molded but instead they are broken down to the core of their skin color how is the generation of tomorrow suppose to survive in society like this?. First things first i am root of a born free generation whose ancestors where deprived of their rights of education and when granted to them it was Bantu education which was more or less gibberish if you ask me,letting such issues take place in our classrooms is unacceptable to the say the least.  About a month ago a white teacher called a black parent "uncivilized" what does that say about the teachers who are suppose to remove remove such thoughts in pupil's minds, Bob Marley once said "emancipate yourself from mental" slavery but the way things are going on in our nation kids are imprisoned in their minds and way of thinking .

The society needs to learn that we will no longer sit on the sidelines and watch ourselves being labelled in an unruly manner of racism and inequality in a teaching space, we are all children of the same soil strip away all the color and hate speech we are all united by one thing the right to life therefore the right to one's  freedom and that should not even discussed the fact that people need to prove their capability because of their skin is unacceptable our nation and government needs to realize the immense pressure  learners face in general and now for them to be constantly oppressed that could have been accepted in the apartheid regime but not now and it starts with one person standing up and speaking it's up to me and you to make this world a better place for our young brothers and sisters so that one day they don't have to go through that depressing phase. Children commit suicide because of racial comments at school they are scared to go to school because of their skin color, even by saying that out loud sounds hideous this is the kind of behavior is the kind that makes kids ashamed of their skin color or hair or the way the way they talk and end losing their sense of being and losing touch with their roots, no one should ever tell you who you are define yourself. Stand out from the crowd it's makes you special you are who you and where you are for a reason do not ever doubt yourself. Love yourself and everyone else will it doesn't matter what someone else thinks.

We need to stand up to such behavior my brothers and sisters it's starts with me and you believing in what's change comes with the will try we may not succeed the first time but we'll get up and try again because we have a long way to give up the revolution continues everyday we wake a struggle.

  1. Indeed no child is born a racist it is something you learn.. But for racism to end I don't have any hope ,when people out there still get treated differently because of the colour of their skin..

  7. racism is very much a part of our lives, we must teach our children to be proud of who they are and be unapologetic about it!
