4 " Some say your whole life appears before you like a TV when someone is about to shoot you, but the reality is you barely have any brain control beyond thinking about the muzzle and the finger on the trigger. "

5 " Life is like the wind on the ocean; if it is against you, it doesn’t really matter what direction it comes from or what direction it blows. It also doesn’t matter what you do or fail to do. So you are better off doing whatever you want. "

6 " POVERTY CRIME
When you push people
Into the throes of poverty
They tend to think their value low
And so do they yours
They will not think it grave
To lose their low valued lives
And so will they not yours "

― , Roses in the Rainbow

7 " Everyone’s got a little devil inside them, I’ve just learned to control mine that’s why you’ve not seen it yet; I advise you to keep yours under control before it ruins you. "

8 " In a state of anomie, the absence of justice becomes the panacea for justice "

9 " The Dutch Reformed Church was the state church of the apartheid regime and a fervent supporter of apartheid; it inspired and condoned rape, abduction and murder. "

10 " MY DEAREST MY EVER CRUSH
I couldn’t have wished anything more
Than that the spaces between my fingers
Were filled with yours
As I strolled and sample the best of NYC today
I wish that every wish become real, and all dreams true
Because in my dreams I am always with you
Our friends both envy us and rejoice for us
We are ever madly in love and think less of who cares
I can’t wait to see you again
True Love "

11 " One would expect Willem-Alexander of the Netherlands, who is said to have studied history, to know better and act better, but he too rejects all advice and criticism and runs around obliviously in a coach plastered with pictures of his grandmother abusing her captives, including women and children. You might imagine the bigoted Donald Trump to be riding a coach like that in a mock presidential parade in his dreams, but certainly not a twenty first century Dutch royal. I wonder if he ever considered how their Calvinist pomposity affected the psyche of black and white children. "

12 " MOUNT PLAASMOORDE
If ever you visit South Africa
And do
Leave the brilliant beaches of Cape Town for a moment
Climb Mount Plaasmoorde Witkruis monument
And you’ll see the victims of apartheid
White crosses marking a thousand white victims
Planted in the earth of a million black victims
They lie dissolved in the humus of the soils
They were too many to have their own marked graves
Too many to build black crosses for
And just too hard to forget about
Because they make the soil under your feet black "

13 " How remorseless must one be find pleasure in riding a Wilhelmina golden coach in the 21st century. "

― Mawuena Addo, , Roses in the Rainbow

14 " How could the eagle-eyed politicians of The Hague, who specialized in pointing out the tiniest specks in other people’s eyes, overlook someone riding a racist coach in their own neighborhood? "

15 " SYMPATHY FOR THE DEVIL

Now please let me introduce myself
I’m the wealthy charming man
Been here on earth for many, many years
Many hearts, faiths and souls I stole

I was around and watched Jesus Christ
Had his faith, doubt and pain
Conned goddamn Pontus Pilate
To wash his hands and doom his soul

Thrilled to meet you
Do you guess my name
Thought I’m in hell but no I’m right here
That’s the puzzling nature of my game "

16 " I DREAM OF A CHARCOAL CHALKY AFRICA
I am as black as charcoal
But that is only my skin color
I don’t need to see hacked white bodies
To know that we are the same on the inside
I feel the same anguish and disgust for the innocent
Murdered black South Africans during apartheid
Murdered white South Africans post-apartheid
We might not be there to fight apartheid era atrocities
But we are here now and must prevent post-apartheid atrocities
Murdering innocent whites will not bring back murdered blacks

I challenge you to search online now
Google ‘South African farm murders’
And see if you can look at the gruesome pictures
Of innocent children, women and men
Do we need more people to be horribly hacked to death?
Before we stop the divisive rhetoric of the extreme left?
We made a mistake letting apartheid drag on so long
But must we repeat that mistake with post-apartheid massacres?
Some of these murdered whites fought against apartheid
These murdered children didn’t even know about apartheid

Don’t take away your eyes now!
No, don’t you dare take your eyes off those pictures!
The real apartheid criminals are rich and well protected
Killing these innocent people is not justice
It is inhuman; it is cowardice
Don’t look away and don’t hold back the tears
It is not only a cry for white victims
It is not only a cry for black victims
It is a cry for a better South Africa
A cry for a richer, charcoal, chalky Africa "

17 " Did you know that even 50 years after all other countries had abolished slavery, the Netherlands refused to? "

― , Roses in the Rainbow

18 " Just as the Netherlands was the last country to abolish slavery, they are still the last one opulently celebrating racism; the English had to force the Dutch to abolish slavery in the late 19th century and now the US and the UN are forcing them to stop celebrating bigotry in the 21st century "

20 " The press can’t do shit about corruption in Africa without the masses. Everybody knows the offices that ask for bribes and everybody continues to pay. So reporting an incident of corruption in the media is like announcing that the sun rises in the morning. "
