HAAAAAAIII!!! Ay this weekend was the bomb.. chilled with friends, met losta new ppl and watched alot of fights… yeah fights… but to my suprise it was not the normal im “im gonna moer u!” kind of fight.. these were young women ages 18-23 (with kids already) fighting over a BLACK LABEL!!!. I was highly embarrased but this made me think.. it also made me thank god that i was not 1 of them or thier friends..The way some Coloured women disrespect themselves makes me ashamed of being a woman. So i tried to get into the mind set of these women coz u ppl know me i like news i should be a reporter.
Anyway i tried talking to them, tried to resolve the issue. It turns out that they stole gold rings from someones house and went to pawn it for BLACK LABEL!!! ON A HOLY SUNDAY.. anyhow the issue was resolved but i could see that this was not just a normal fight.. it was actually degrading to all women of the coloured community. Iv noticed that Coloured women are not equally respcted as women of other races because they dont expect more from us. Most coloured women are said to be Gold diggers, alcoholics, party animals and the list of degrading qualities goes on.Most of us are said to be violent and arrogant to.. This is not the way we see us ,but this is the way most of South Africa see`s us. The sad part is that we believe that,thats the way we should be.Im not painting all the women in the coloured community with the same brush( just now ppl wanna come moer me.) but im speaking of the majority. in Eldos there a few to completely no positive role models for women and therefore we all fall into the same pattern. We mothering children when we still children our selves. We get involved in drugs and alcohol because thats all we know.The only way we can have a good time is if we DRINK till wee DRUNK and SMOKE till we GOOF`T.LIFE IS MORE THAN THAT.
This is a reality of the women in our communities. Life is all fun and games when u young but to be honest i wouldnt advise anyone of my coloured brothers to marry coloured women if this is our future.. MAKING BABIES AND BOOZING.. whats even worse is that this type of lifestyle is a trend even among our school kids… COME on ladies if u can influnce one women that u know of , that leads this type of lifestyle , u will be changing a life.
LASTLY id like to state that this might not apply to most of the ppl reading this article but iid adivse u to get the word out. ITS WOMENS MONTH but is being a coloured women something we`d wanna celebrate?
I STATE THE TRUTH, NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH.. LETS HOPE WE CAN HANDLE IT!!!
