The Unbearable Whiteness of Being

Many moons ago I read the novel, “The Unbearable Lightness of Being”. With all the anti-white campaigns running rampart in South Africa, I got inspiration from the book for this post.

The Unbearable Lightness of Being is a 1984 novel by Milan Kundera, about two women, two men, a dog and their lives in the 1968 Prague Spring period of Czechoslovak history. The Prague Spring was a period of political liberalization in Czechoslovakia during the era of its domination by the Soviet Union after World War II. It began on 5 January 1968, when reformist Alexander Dubček was elected First Secretary of the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia (KSČ), and continued until 21 August 1968 when the Soviet Union and other members of the Warsaw Pact invaded the country to halt the reforms.

The Prague Spring reforms were a strong attempt by Dubček to grant additional rights to the citizens of Czechoslovakia in an act of partial decentralization of the economy and democratization. The freedoms granted included a loosening of restrictions on the media, speech and travel. After national discussion of dividing the country into a federation of three republics, Bohemia, Moravia-Silesia and Slovakia, Dubček oversaw the decision to split into two, the Czech Republic and Slovak Republic. This was the only formal change that survived the end of Prague Spring, though the relative success of the nonviolent resistance undoubtedly prefigured and facilitated the peaceful transition to liberal democracy with the collapse of Soviet hegemony in 1989.

Sounds like parallels with South Africa’s “liberation and democratization” history since 1994 with the role-players the ANC, Zuma, the Guptas and Bell Pottinger. From there “The Unbearable Whiteness of Being”!

Everything that went wrong in this country since 1994 was blamed on the whites. Remember the farce of decolonizing science and everything “bearing whiteness” and colonialism which culminated in the recent Bell Pottinger “white monopoly capital” scandal. It is ironic that a white monopoly capital firm – the London-headquartered Bell Pottinger – was hired by a Gupta entity to orchestrate a campaign to create the monster of white monopoly capital in South Africa. There have been suspicions and allegations that Bell Pottinger put together a devious strategy to defend the Gupta family and President Jacob Zuma by painting them as victims of greedy white racists. 

  

Well, I for one am fed-up with this anti-white racism and hatred that is devouring this democracy of us. Whites have an equal right in South Africa and there is nothing to be ashamed off. Contrary, was it not for whites the world would still be in the dark ages. Here is some food for thought:

Whites have been responsible for:

·         The invention of the printing press

·         Cement

·         The harnessing of electricity

·         Flight

·         Rocketry

·         Astronomy

·         The telescope

·         Putting a man on the moon and other space travel

·         Radio

·         Television

·         The telephone which include the cell phone

·         The light bulb

·         Photography

·         Motion pictures

·         The phonograph

·         The electric battery

·         Inventing the automobile

·         The steam engine

·         Railroad transportation

·         The microscope

·         Computers

·         The Internet

·         The discovery of countless medical advances

·         Inventing incredible applications

·         A whole lot of scientific progress

Here are a just a few notable historical figures that were white which had an positive impact on our world and lives:

·         Socrates

·         Aristotle

·         Plato

·         Homer

·         Tacitus

·         Julius Ceaser

·         Napoleon

·         William the Conqueror

·         Marco Polo

·         Washington

·         Jefferson

·         Bach

·         Beethoven

·         Mozart

·         Magellan

·         Columbus

·         Cabot

·         Edison

·         Graham Bell

·         Newton

·         Galileo

·         Watt

·         Ford

·         Luther

·         Da Vinci

·         Poe

·         Tennyson

·         Pasteur

·         Mendel

·         Darwin

I know some people reading this will say, “You must be a White Supremacist”. Actually there is no objective standard by which anyone can determine what a supreme race is.

But back at the ranch, those who want to decolonize South Africa, go on, but start with your cars, TV’s and cell phones and decide then if you can get along without it!
