Racism in South Africa

It is easy for state to shut their eye to things they do non witness, like bigotry, racial discrimination, and the cruelty of South Africa. According to Blob Kiwanis It has been nearly a ten-spot and a half after the end of apartheid and South Africans argon finally realizing on that point Is a business with racism (Swank, 2008). This realization occurred after white students from the university of the Free State, made a racist video. This video showed the students debasing and humiliating four vague workers. The racism portrayed by these students was said to be deep-seated.These students even went so far as to allegedly, urinate in the four lack workers food (Kiwanis, 2008). In 1994 a gentlemans gentleman was fed up with his black worker, so the black man was fed to the lions (Kiwanis, 2008). This type of cruelty is not as common as it once was, but any act such as this should not be allowed to take site in the free world. Imagine living every day in fear, never knowing wh at the day is going to be like. What about tomorrow? This behavior is something just about nation never have to experience in their life m, but what about those that get to witness these events first go through?The violence and hatred that has ca drilld a country to live In ear, was said to be a symbol of globalization, by a country that calls Itself a Rainbow Nation, yet was not supposedly about racism at all (Perry, 2008). 3 It became app atomic number 18nt in 2008, when 42 black slew were killed. These wad were raped, neaten, eroded, Ana off-key alive. I Nils type AT loathing NAS lave a country (Perry, 2008). These types of incidents have diminished all over time, but ar still evident in the culture. The cultures in South Africa are some and nearly are still high in the masculine beliefs. Ethnicity is the differences in culture and is diverse in SouthAfrica. The many different tribes and passel have similar yet different beliefs. Race refers to the social construction on the difference of skin color, or nationalities (South Africa and its Culture, 2011). Polygamy is still carried out and a dowry is still permitted in most of South Africans cultures. Cattle are a sign of wealth and also used as a symbol for sacrifice. The Zulu is one of the strongest surviving black culture in South Africa (South Africa and its Culture, 2011). Xhosa are also a strong presence in the South African culture, and are referred to as the red people.The red people are called this because the red dye they use on their clothing, worn by most adults. The Indelible are related to the Red people, but live in the North-western corner of what now is called Mulligan, in vibrant particoloured homes (South Africa and its Culture, 2011). Then there are the Dutch settlers along with the British, these people are known as Afrikaners, and are the majority of the South African world (South Africa and its Culture, 2011). Surprisingly there is a large Jewish population that resides in South Africa no doubt the survivors of Hitler and his brutal rein.Brutality is not the only problem that has affected the people of South Africa. Because of this racism the poverty level has remained a problem. If a company only hires white people to work, how are people of color ever going to rise above poverty? The Jobs available to black people in South Africa are almost non-existent. If there are no Jobs then there is no money to be made. No money operator no food, no shelter, and no means to support a family. This is another instance of the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. 4 argon people so blind and callused, as to not care how the actions and the words thrown out leave behind affect others?What about the future of innocent souls to come? Why is one color any wear out than another? Who gets to decide these types of things? If a person were to close their eyes and solely Judge another found on their personality, or the way they are treated by a person, our world wo uld be a different place to live. Discrimination has kept the people of South Africa in poverty for way to long, it is time to break the chains of bigotry and learn to live together in a peaceful place. A place where color does not mean you are rejected for a Job, or for housing. A place where everyone is color blind seems ideal, does it not?Education is a factor for the people of South Africa. People are more concerned with finding a Job instead they are worrying about whether or not they can attend school. And the sad part about that is that in order to get a good Job or even a Job, education would be beneficial. This is one of the excuses for not hiring people with black skin, they are not as educated. This is one way companies get around race (Reuters, 2001). The companies use this as their reason for hiring the white person applying for the Job and not the black person. It is a vicious broadcast for the people of South Africa.
