Well lets start with the definition of what Xenophobia is.And here is its definition from www.wikipedia.org Xenophobia is the unreasoned fear of that which is perceived to be foreign or strange. Xenophobia can manifest itself in many ways involving the relations and perceptions of an in group towards an outgroup, including a fear of losing identity, suspicion of its activities, aggression, and desire to eliminate its presence to secure a presumed purity.Xenophobia can also be exhibited in the form of an "uncritical exaltation of another culture" in which a culture is ascribed "an unreal, stereotyped and exotic quality".
There have been numerous attacks on foreign nationals by some inhuman black South African youth.I say inhuman because these attacks are just that.I think Xenophobia is just a lame excuse for people to break the law in the claim of something they say is rightfully theirs.If something is rightfully yours the claim it in the right way.Come up with a petition,use the law courts,appeal to your Government.Black South African youths are sending the message that South Africa is not friendly or welcoming to foreigners.All over the world people from different nationalities and countries settle,study and work in countries in which they are not natives.That is just how the world is nowadays. Does South Africa need to be the exception because that is the signal that is being sent out.
Foreigners are always good for the economy of any country.Foreigners being welcomed into countries make the world see the hosting country as a good place to invest in and do trade with.It is even a boost to the countries Tourism industry.Many of the foreigners or rather migrants in South Africa are there seeking a better life.They go there to get a good Education and jobs that sadly they cannot get in their home countries.People can feel bad that foreigners are getting jobs and they the locals are not.But this is certainly not the way to go.South Africa looks very ugly and inhuman to the world.And i hope and pray that the killings and madness end.The South African Government should arrest everyone doing this even if it is being done in mobs because people should respect life in whatever situation.
I do not sympathize with South Africa because there should be an after effect of all this madness to their economy and their relationship with the world in general.This should be a valuable lesson to South Africa.I know not all South Africans support this but the government should go into extreme measures to put its citizens in check .Because it looks like a group of lazy jealous black South African youth are going around killing migrants who are working so hard to better their lives.South Africa looks very ugly and i bet Mandela where he is,is so disappointed because that is not what he fought for.Instead of Africans sticking together they are killing each other.These black South African youth are ignorant,stupid and have no respect for the laws of the land and most of all the laws of God.What has happened to love compassion and brotherhood.
Xenophobia is just an excuse because South Africa looks very ugly from all this madness and the dangerous cities because of the high crime rate and the highest cases of HIV in Africa and the world.I wrote this article because of the escalating violence the ugly pictures i have seen on Facebook and i hope the World can give this sad situation in South Africa the attention it deserves because people are saying it deserves more coverage so that the World can step in an end this.I saw a picture of a young boy almost three years old with a deep wound on his head bleeding,his parents where beaten by a mob and burnt to death and he was also beaten.This is just madness in the highest.They say its because foreigners are taking their women and jobs.All i can say to them is you do not have women or jobs because you are ignorant and stupid because that is what all this violence is.It is senseless and a reflection of who you are.
This is a by a guy known as Stanley StanoMastermind Keya:
Black South-Africans are claiming that
the black migrants from other African
countries are taking over their jobs,
that is why they are burning and
killing them. Already a group of South
African students killed 5 Congolese
students, 10 Nigerians, 5 Gabonese and
10 Somalis yesterday around 10:00 am
in Johannesburg. The police is advising
foreigners to avoid using public
transport specially train,taxi etc. Please
share this warning with friends and
families leaving in South Africa
especially in Johannesburg. We urge
everyone to pass this message on until
it gets to international media because
the local media are not broadcasting it
in South Africa and Kenya. Yesterday
too the locals attacked an area called
POINT Johannesburg and a lot of black
were displaced from their flat. Massive
xenophobic attack is going on in South
Africa right now.
This is the darkest side of humanity.For These South African Youth they should know they are behaving like animals and animals belong in cages and guess what that is where you belong,you are not wise or bettering your lives,you are just making things worst and you are stained with innocent blood.Way to shoot yourselves in your backside.This is a reflection of a failing Society South Africa.
