Black faces, white mannerisms.

I was just watching a British guy documenting the history of South African television. And we never mention this even though we unanimously know it, but we have a class of quasi-European black people in South Africa & nobody is addressing this issue decisively. It's not always the people who went to white schools who act white but it's people who have simply embraced the South African system & somehow become quasi-European. We often call them Uncle Toms, Uncle Ruckuses & Aunt Jemimas but we never go in-depth at addressing this problem other than just ridiculing it.

There is a SERIOUS problem with black people embracing foreign/un-African systems & having genuine hatred towards their own kind. 

We can see it in our xenophobic sentiments towards black African immigrants but not so much towards white European immigrants. I know of black people who genuinely dislike black tendencies in South Africa despite over 80% of the country being black. 

This then begs to question, the South African system that these quasi-European black people are embracing has to be non-African at the very least for them to have such a manner towards other black people to uphold this system. 

I mean, I've seen enough media from the African continent to understand that South Africa has too many barriers to entry in some places. There are some things that are still subconsciously reserved for certain races in South Africa even though it is a "liberated" country. 

These quasi-European black people then become gatekeepers of certain activities which are reserved for certain racial groups. For example, there are very few black franchises & banks in South Africa in comparison to white franchises & banks. So 9% of the population has more than six banks while the over 80% black majority has less than three - if that. Yet there are black people actively working at stifling black banks. The richest & most powerful black people in South Africa are often ridiculed while the richest & most powerful white people in South Africa are left untouched from character criticism or ridicule. 

I felt that I had to blog this because we have black people who have never set foot in Europe acting European in South Africa & perhaps other places in Africa also have this type of person. These quasi-European Africans have genuine hatred for other black people for the mere reason that they are opulent or mildly well-off while not being white. 

I imagine there are such black people in other African countries but to a lesser extent than in South Africa. And in South Africa it comes off extra bad because we kept our colonizers, so it ends up looking like some black people are willing to be slaves of South Africa's quasi-European system & actively attacking other black people to uphold a system that is not theirs. This is what I see among many black Americans also, especially from the USA. These black people see themselves as so apart from Africa & Africans that they go as far as threatening death to Africans who reject USA's imperialism. It doesn't take a genius to figure out that such people are really "Not Like Us" even though we have a common origin. They have had Africa, literally, beaten out of them. The language & cultural systems they had while in Africa are completely forgotten to them & southern USA culture has replaced everything they knew from Africa. Virtually making their ancestry British. 

As for me, I did pick up quasi-European mannerisms in some places during the course of my life but I would only hate another black person if they themselves took it upon themselves to be my enemy & not because they are simply black. 

We have a serious problem in black society & we're just laughing it off as "coconuts", "Oreos" & Uncle Ruckuses while the root of the problem is very ominous & destructive towards black people in general. It's funny but it is no laughing matter.
