I WRITE WHAT I LIKE- Are we not demanding too much

By Osama

I am a black South African, even blacker than the blackest black. I have been caught between two extremes of the deeper edges of my mind. Yesterday I serendipitiously found a very racist blog in which the blogmaster was questioning the intelligence of us, (us) meaning'blacks'.( me included) . His arguement was based on the DNA tests wihch he claimed they prove so. He provided no empirical evidence. Well my todays topic is not about that and I can't susbcribe to such senseless outlook. One thing for sure is that intelligence is not about race.
For the past few years there has been strike(s) where ,we - the blacks, have been complaining about the high university tuition fees. Actually our SASCO was demanding something they called "free tertiary education'. I am trying to figure out how possible is that in our country. I don't want to reach my superficial conclusion of that they( SASCO+ ANCYL+SADESMO and any other students leadership organisation) are trying to be popular in an irrational way.
