White Lives Don't Matter


The 2019 National Elections are coming up fast, less than a week away and the campaign trail is getting heated. Already I have gotten calls and messages from the 2 leading parties that they are bordering on harassment. And then this.

Driving through Krugersdorp, I saw this banner outside a house, "White Lives Don't Matter - Only Votes". Wow this made me think. I knew about the "Black Lives Matter" rally call and the sinister "Land or Death" hate speech, but not this. Now I am not going down that road of making this blog all political but this sure did stop me in my tracks.
