Surely the affirmation that black lives matter should include the lives of black people in South Africa. Surely, we should know, after the Obama presidency, that having black people in political power does not necessarily reform racist systems.
After the Ferguson uprising Angela Davis, the brilliant African-American activist and academic, pointed out that there were clear links between the oppression of black people in the US and Palestinians. Davis advanced an internationalist position in which we should be in solidarity with the oppressed everywhere, from Gaza to Ferguson. This is an impressively principled form of politics that carries a real moral authority.
The reasons for this are not entirely clear.
What a headline 🙌
the_smme We have the same problem here, the same man whose name is all over marikana massacre is the one who unleashed the army on peaceful citizens
paraskip daizeyx see what I mean
Lies same out rage you just didn’t do your research
nordienmn The kind of people who make me want to vomit - they all call themselves 'liberals'.
That time you are so quiet. Sithini thina?
How stupid
That's your opinion, Khosa would still be alive had he not been found with a glass of alcohol when alcohol was banned and undermining female soldiers who called up for back up, he is not innocent either, so are the soldiers who killed him, it's 2 wrongs that unfortunately messed
in the eyes of our people the ANC cannot do no wrong, when it does excuses are made to sanctify it such as blaming it on individual cadres. we don't deserve a better government until we are willing to hold it fully accountable for its actions
African-Americans are our people too. Stop spreading narrow-nationalist ideas.
O bari straight
Yeah this boggles the mind . how many Africans did south Africans kill during xenophobia
newfoodlab South Africans are worst of cowards seeking international fame.
What is happening in US is gonna happen in stellenbosch when we burn some rich dicks
Which South Africans?
Its not true that SAns are silent. On social media platforms SAns have been very vocal against SAPoliceService police brutality. SA is the protest capital & most are not covered by the media. If silence means to you there are no riots, then i suppose its silent 🙄
But you are also quiet about racism here at home.
Black in USA are better than realy africans
How are we silent though
As we are also quite about your agenda.
South Africa must stay out of USA,,,got their farm murders and corruption to worry about
So are we going to the US Embassy tomorrow or nah?
Kolie_Yola South Africans and Zambians are in the same WhatsApp group...
You are so divisive, using your power to cause black-on-black war. White man's best strategy: divide and rule. Shame on you!
Ye they are but not outraged by their own that was recently killed bu their army
MolokoHM Brainwash
White media always ready to divide blacks.
IsaacKgafela This is a trap...
What a beautiful headline.

It's turning out that a third force is instigating the riots. Too many 'bandwagoners' in SA.
This is why they suddenly dragged the CollinsKhosa case just to fit in all along it wasn't that important.... Nomonde22_ come see
Yep the killings at home are an inconvenience as most are committed by black people. No racism there.
We are used to soldiers killing us , police take cooldrink money, they don't kill here🙄
It's South African celebrities on ANC dirty pockets!
Black on black is ok.. white on black is racism..
FistazMixwell is one of them

The question is are we guilty of doing such? If not great Chubeka you're doing good, if yes, better wake up and smell the coffee.

Self hate, including celebs
Many black Americans have been killed by White policemen.
Self hate and internationalists Populism
Attention seekers
sihlemahamba27 Don't quote me
Because they were black soldiers
South africa nd us are the same
Did we ask for justice, yeah, we got it in court but now the police are disputing and appealing it. What kind of government allows it's armed forces and uniformed officers to dispute a court order against their misuse of power? Do you really think the rot is just there?
Only white on black generates outrage black on black and black on white is fine. The world is broken all lives matter wake up sheeple
So true. We have so many Socio-economic issues to deal with, but throw stones at others.
There would have been the same outcry in SA and the world in response to Collins Khoza’s death if the thugs in uniforms had been white. All lives matter. The abuse of power is the issue
Not so long ago they were making noise about PrayForParis
Very true.
What do expect from people who get too excited about alcohol
Hypocrites
This is not true. Plenty of outrage. Search for Khosa on Twitter:
Because it was done by black soldiers and police. It's fine if it's black on black violence but not white on black.
Exactly in our own backyard people are beaten to death by the nrs yet we are quiet
