the keys to the shithouse
i think that what every colonized mind wants more than anything else is to respectable, to be respected
(by the mythical colonial “mother”)
this keeps colonized people in a state of perpetual infancy
as so-called “white south africans” we shared this infantile mentality with the so-called blacks
without realising it of course because the so-called whites always had the so-called blacks to feel superior to
when so-called white left-wingers erase their feelings of superiority to so-called blacks
they are left with… PANIC
and they need to replace the security blanket of racial superiority with the anodyne comfort of respectability
but fundamentally they don’t get to the point of letting go of the “mother”s” approval/opprobrium
ie, they remain infantile
and hence entirely unable to deal with criticism
they become cry babies
all this happens in the shithouse of the “post-colony”
and it’s telling because isn’t it in the shithouse that the proud infant desperately seeks approval from its “mother” for the little dump it’s just deposited?

the only so-called white left wingers i have ever come across that would respond in this way have been those who have been trying to mask their very definite right wing sentiment i.e. kaftans, african beads, o so trendy outlook, but the minute they are alone with you they spew out their racist drivel. thankfully, they seem to have become a dying breed. however, the new white racist youth are cause for concern. they seem to be taking off from where their parents lost hope.
