A person is a person because he recognizes others as persons. Be nice to whites, they need you to rediscover their humanity.Children are a wonderful gift . . . They have an extraordinary capacity to see into the heart of things and to expose sham and humbug for what they are.God, we know you are in charge, but why don't you make it slightly more obvious?I am a leader by default, only because nature does not allow a vacuum. If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor. If an elephant has its foot on the tail of a mouse and you say that you are neutral, the mouse will not appreciate your neutrality. In the land of my birth I cannot vote, whereas a young person of eighteen can vote. And why? Because he or she possesses that wonderful biological attribute - a white skin.My humanity is bound up in yours, for we can only be human together.
Those who invest in South Africa should not think they are doing us a favor; they are here for what they get out of our cheap and abundant labor, and they should know that they are buttressing one of the most vicious systems. We may be surprised at the people we find in heaven. God has a soft spot for sinners. His standards are quite low. When a pile of cups is tottering on the edge of the table and you warn that they will crash to the ground, in South Africa you are blamed when that happens. Without forgiveness, there's no future.
You don't choose your family. They are God's gift to you, as you are to them. |
