Recently, there was a trending video of a white lady who was beaten so badly by a black lady after she called her a slave and monkey. It is not evident how the misunderstanding started, but on the video, a black lady wearing pink pants could be seen giving the white lady some hot punches. People who were there didn’t even bother to intervene; they just stood there and watched while taking video. You could tell that the black lady was so enraged and full of anger.
After this video was posted, many people praised the black lady for not allowing this white lady to bully her. Most white people are bullies towards black people, and they always get away with it, but today it ended in tears. Do you remember that video of Petros? The white man who beat up a 17-year-old black boy for asking him to pass him the salt at the restaurant? That video and this one just make it evident that we haven’t made peace with each other and are still holding grudges.
Although we are past the apartheid era, there are still some people who are stuck in the segregation mindset, especially whites, and not all of them have made peace with the fact that we are all equal. They still look down on black people and call them different names. Even on black people’s sides, most of us haven’t healed from what whites did to us during apartheid. Some of us still have so much hate for whites and want revenge so badly.
Opinion:
I don’t blame the black lady for beating up the white lady so badly; nothing is painful like being called names in front of people. White people are not yet ready to be equal to black people. They have so much anger, and they are still treating us like dogs. That is why she even had the nerve to call someone a slave. With all that, I say the black lady did nothing wrong; she stood up against a bully that police and the law always fail to protect us from.
