Will this country ever change?

People may argue this and deny that there is still racism in our country and our government may hide this and promote South Africa as a democratic country which promotes unity but the fact is we are different and still suffer from discrimination.

It is so sad to read on the media how people comment ands use harsh words to describe other races in this country. SA is perceived as this perfect country who was saved from apartheid, a country with 11 official languages and a country that is ruled by a black president. A country with different races living together happily ever after but to be honest there is no peace and unity in this country. Blacks still refer to themselves as blacks and whites still refer to themselves as white people and each race lives on their own little world. We still use harsh words to describe each other and we still discriminate each other from one another.

Our standard of living is still different, white people live in their own suburbs, black people live in shacks in dodgy communities and coloured people also live in their own community. when a black person leaves in white communities then the officials will question that. I don't think this country will ever change even though black people are given opportunities but we are so used with our poor standard it is hard to keep up and we are so used to be second best because we are never offered a high standard of living, I guess it is not for us and we are happy with this life i don't know why our government is trying so hard.

I don't think this country will ever change, we will always be unique and different. Let's just find a way to leave with one another and stop pretending.
