A quote from the daughter of former South African president Jacob Zuma, Dudu zuma Sambudla. In the tweet, Sambudla is making the observation that white men in South Africa fear black men who are united. The tweet reflects that this fear is rooted in the history of white supremacy in South Africa, and that it continues to manifest itself in the present day.
Sambudla’s tweet has been met with mixed reactions. Some people have agreed with his assessment, while others have argued that it is divisive and unhelpful. However, the tweet has also sparked a conversation about the relationship between race and power in South Africa.
It is important to note that Sambudla’s tweet is not a blanket statement about all white men in South Africa. There are many white men who do not fear black men, and who are committed to working towards a more just and equitable society. However, Sambudla’s tweet does highlight the fact that white supremacy is still a problem in South Africa, and that it can manifest itself in a variety of ways.
It is also important to note that the fear of black men is not unique to South Africa. This fear can be found in many other countries around the world, and it is often rooted in racism and white supremacy. This fear can have a devastating impact on black communities, and it can lead to violence and discrimination.
It is important to challenge the fear of black men, and to work towards a society where all people are treated with respect and dignity. We need to dismantle the systems of white supremacy that continue to uphold this fear, and we need to create a more just and equitable society for all.
