Doing a little digging after spending HOURS dissecting Kenan Malik's hit-piece. These are some of the things that I found on Khayelitsha;
Group Areas Act was the title of three acts of the Parliament of South Africa enacted under the apartheid government of South Africa. The acts assigned racial groups to different residential and business sections in urban areas in a system of urban apartheid. An effect of the law was to exclude non-Whites from living in the most developed areas, which were restricted to Whites (e.g., Sea Point). It caused many non-Whites to have to commute large distances from their homes in order to be able to work. The law led to non-Whites being forcibly removed for living in the "wrong" areas. The non-white majority were given much smaller areas (e.g.,Tongaat) to live in than the white minority who owned most of the country. Pass Laws required that non-Whites carry pass books, and later 'reference books'[1] (similar to passports) to enter the 'white' parts of the country.
The first Group Areas Act, the Group Areas Act, 1950 was promulgated on 7 July 1950, and it was implemented over a period of several years. It was amended by Parliament in 1952, 1955 (twice), 1956 and 1957. Later in 1957 it was repealed and re-enacted in consolidated form as the Group Areas Act, 1957, which was amended in 1961, 1962, and 1965. In 1966 this version was in turn repealed and re-enacted as the Group Areas Act, 1966, which was subsequently amended in 1969, 1972, 1974, 1975, 1977, 1978, 1979, 1982, and 1984. It was repealed (along with many other discriminatory laws) on 30 June 1991 by the Abolition of Racially Based Land Measures Act, 1991.
Now, remember. I was DUMB-ENOUGH to stay with Stacey after she said the first time that things were better When Whites Ran Everything. And that was STUPID ON MY PART. Notice however as you read this, that these same policies were enacted here in Nazi-America. But as time passed the Whites here understood that they could be MORE EFFECTIVE through POLITICAL AND ECONOMIC POLICIES, in creating Black-reservations. Red-Lining is one method. Nazi-Cops are another method, notice when you enter White neighborhoods the Nazi-cops pull you over or you are randomly asked by them "Where are you going?" "Are you lost?" and of course, as Tariq Nasheed pointed out "Sundown-Towns and Sundown-Cities." where Black People know they either have to be BACK IN the Black section of that town or city or you have to be OUT OF SAID TOWN OR CITY.And lemme be CLEAR! I don't type that Stacey said it was better when Whites ran things, I'M NOT TYPING THAT TO DISPARAGE HER! If that's what SHE BELIEVES/BELIEVED, then THAT WAS HER BELIEF. MY POINT IS THAT INTERRACIAL DATING FOR US AS BLACK PEOPLE?
I had to find out the hard way and it is glossed over, HEAVY! We don't have that kind of room for error. When she said what she said, Me LOVING HER IS PERSONAL. But what she showed me when she said that? THAT? IS A MATTER OF THE STATE. By saying what she said, it is OKAY FOR HER TO THINK THAT WAY. But it is HORRENDOUSLY STUPID OF ME TO KEEP GOING FORWARD WITH HER WHEN HER WORDS ARE A DIRECT SLAP IN THE FACE TO ME AND MINE. It isn't FOR ME to "change her mind" or "point out how wrong she is". And that's where I FUCKED UP.
I should have told her then and there "I didn't know you felt that way. I have to move on." and I should've bounced. Love has lines and limits, and she crossed one of them and didn't even think twice before doing it. Didn't even care about the fact that she herself suffered irreparable damage under apartheid. At OUR AGE. Not just mine. Not just hers, BUT OUR AGE? There are certain things where you should know better by now. And if you don't know by now, then more than likely you're not going to learn. Because learning takes dedication. Bottom line is I should have excused myself from the relationship and moved on the moment she said that. Her not knowing or not having a problem with what she said IS HER BUSINESS. But once she said that to me, it became mine, and I handled it wrong. I went with TRYING TO EDUCATE HER, when she lived through it and in it and clearly thought nothing was wrong with it. Not my place to educate her on something she honestly lived through and saw nothing wrong with.
Group Areas Act empowered the Governor-General to declare certain geographical areas to be for the exclusive occupation of specific racial groups. In particular the statute identified three such racial groups: whites, colouredsand natives. This authority was exercised on the advice of the Minister of the Interior and the Group Areas Board.[4]
Once an area had been designated for sole occupation by certain racial groups the proclamation would not become legally effective for at least one year.[4] Once this time had expired it became a criminal offence to remain in occupation of property in that area with the punishment potentially being a fine and two years' imprisonment.[5]
The Act also applied to businesses with racial designation being applied on the basis of the individuals who held a controlling interest in the company.[4]
The Act became an effective tool in the separate development of races in South Africa. It also granted the Minister of the Interior a mandate to forcibly remove non-whites from valuable pieces of land so that they could become white settlements.[4]One of the most famous uses of the Group Areas Act was the destruction of Sophiatown, a suburb of Johannesburg.[6] On 9 February 1955 2,000 policemen began removing residents to Meadowlands, Soweto and erected a new white-only area called Triomf (Victory).[7]
So now, Blacks are once again being uprooted and moved to cramped, inferior land. Poor to no services, etc. Where, like I said, this is an INTENTIONAL ATTEMPT, to devolve them into sub-humans and make them fight for basics. Struggle to survive. And ultimately die. Understand that. Black South Africans died and did things that they shouldn't have had to, because White South Africans DECIDED. That THEY DESERVE EVERYTHING. And ALWAYS REMEMBER. This ALL STARTED. Because two White-sailors, were treated HUMANELY by Black South Africans. And it led to the invasion of South Africa by Whites.
By not allowing two White sailors to die and trading with them and probably a LOT MORE. When they finally got rescued? It led to all of this bullshit for future generations of Black South Africans. I don't know how any Black Person tolerates a White Person speaking about humanity or compassion, ever. Ever. Where what I have typed is an unfathomable historical fact, where? Who in the world wakes up and HONESTLY BELIEVES. That if I treat these two marooned Whitemen, with humanity and compassion and understanding? Everything around me will be permanently destroyed. That's some heavy shit. That is some heavy shit right there. It's not me trying to be PROFOUND. It is a KNOWN FACT. That simply by helping TWO WHITE PEOPLE. Everything you are reading on here was the reward for Black South Africans. But people say, why are Blacks this or that or the other? Then!? On top of that, Whites then try to lie to cover their tracks, making a HORRIBLE SITUATION.
Unbearable.
This is why Whites keep saying Black People need to move forward. Because they know if we stop and look at all of the totally uncalled for shit they've done? How can anyone read shit like this and be like "Yeah, uhhhhh...? Wow. Tch, your uhhhhhhhh, ancestors were. Heh. THEY WERE KINDA SCUMMY THERE, BUDDY!" and then just...? Move on. While present-day Whites say "We don't owe you anything. We won't pay taxes owed. We will kill your leaders. We will create and fund insurgent groups in your lands, then claim we know nothing." yeah, that's not mending fences White-people. That's not mending fences. But wait... there's more;
In South Africa, pass laws were a form of internal passport system designed to segregate the population, severely limit the movements of the black African populace, manage urbanisation, and allocate migrant labour. The black population was required to carry these pass books with them when outside their homelands or designated areas. Passes were opposed by groups like the revolutionary syndicalists and the black nationalists. Before the 1950s, this legislation largely applied to African men, and attempts to apply it to women in the 1910s and 1950s were met with significant protests. Pass laws would be one of the dominant features of the country's apartheid system, until effectively ended in 1986.
The first internal passports in South Africa were introduced on 27 June 1797 by the Earl Macartney in an attempt to exclude all natives from the Cape Colony.[1] The Cape Colony was merged with other states in the region to form the Union of South Africa in 1910, under Britain. By this time, versions of pass laws existed elsewhere. A major boost for their utilisation was the rise of the mining sector from the 1880s: pass laws provided a convenient means of controlling workers' mobility and enforcing contracts.
Note in this next section that it is Black South African Men that are the targets of the Pass Laws, not Black South African Women. Because like I said before. People know that it is the Men who will ultimately take up Arms and kill. Not the Women. Keep listening to these dumb-ass White Feminist. Keep ignoring history and reality. When the Men are GONE. THE WOMEN GET RAPED AND PASSED AROUND LIKE ITS A PORN PARTY! Keep trying to talk in circles and ignore the obvious. It's working wonders so far for us here in Nazi-America, said no right-minded Black Person ever!
And EXTRA NOTE, the Pass Laws effected Coloureds, too. Leading to the question of why on earth would Stacey honestly say such things not once, but twice? Then try to disguise it till she realized I'd had enough of her doing that. And for the record?
I know why she did what she did. It IS THE DIRECT REASON WHY TOO MUCH OF HER FAMILY IS THE WAY THAT IT IS. I never shared that with her. I simply made it clear that I'd heard enough sideswiping of Black People, while she does nothing to help.
The Natives (Urban Areas) Act of 1923 deemed urban areas in South Africa as "white" and required all black African men in cities and towns to carry around permits called "passes" at all times. Anyone found without a pass would be arrested immediately and sent to a rural area. It was replaced in 1945 by the Natives (Urban Areas) Consolidation Act, which imposed "influx control" on black men, and also set up guidelines for removing people deemed to be living idle lives from urban areas. This act outlined requirements for African peoples' "qualification" to reside legally in white metropolitan areas. To do so, they had to have Section 10 rights, based on whether[2]
- the person had been born there and resided there always since birth;
- the person had laboured continuously for ten years in any agreed area for any employer, or lived continuously in any such area for fifteen years;
The Black (Natives) Laws Amendment Act of 1952 amended the 1945 Native Urban Areas Consolidation Act, stipulating that all black people over the age of 16 were required to carry passes, and that no black person could stay in an urban area more than 72 hours unless allowed to by Section 10.[3] The ironically named Natives (Abolition of Passes and Co-ordination of Documents) Act of 1952, commonly known as the Pass Laws Act, repealed the many regional pass laws and instituted one nationwide pass law, which made it compulsory for all black South Africans over the age of 16 to carry the "pass book" at all times within white areas. The law stipulated where, when, and for how long a person could remain. [4]
The document was similar to an internal passport, containing details on the bearer such as their fingerprints, photograph, the name of his/her employer, his/her address, how long the bearer had been employed, as well as other identification information. Employers often entered a behavioural evaluation, on the conduct of the pass holder.
An employer was defined under the law and could be only a white person. The pass also documented permission requested and denied or granted to be in a certain region and the reason for seeking such permission. Under the terms of the law, any governmental employee could strike out such entries, basically canceling the permission to remain in the area.
A pass book without a valid entry then allowed officials to arrest and imprison the bearer of the pass. These passes often became the most despised symbols of apartheid. The resistance to the Pass Law led to many thousands of arrests and was the spark that ignited the Sharpeville Massacre on March 21, 1960, and led to the arrest of Robert Sobukwe that day.
Colloquially, passes were often called the dompas, literally meaning the "dumb pass."
Apart from discrimination against black people, there was also discrimination against the so-called "coloured people." The "coloured" included all Indians, Chinese and Arabs, as well as those of "mixed" black/white ethnicity. Indian people, for example, were barred from the Orange Free State.[5]
These discriminatory regulations fueled growing discontent from the black population. The 1910s saw significant opposition to pass laws being applied to black women.
In 1919, the revolutionary syndicalist International Socialist League (South Africa), in conjunction with the syndicalist Industrial Workers of Africa and the early African National Congress organized a major anti-pass campaign.
The 1950s saw the ANC begin the Defiance Campaign to oppose the pass laws. This conflict climaxed at the Sharpeville Massacre, where the anti-pass protestors led by the rival breakaway Pan Africanist Congress of Azania (PAC) was violently put down, with 69 people killed and over 180 injured. Subsequent protests and strikes were met with major repression and the ANC and PAC were both banned.
On July 23, 1986, as part of a process of removing some apartheid laws, the South African government lifted the requirement to carry passbooks, although the pass law system itself was not yet repealed.[6] The system of pass laws was formally repealed on November 13, 1986.[citation needed]
So now, we haven't even gotten to talking about Khayelitsha yet. Or have we? You see, the first thing that has to be done is setting the table properly. Unlike that crap that Kenan Malik did in his hit-piece. So now, this and note all of the things that Kenan Malik failed to mention;
Khayelitsha /ˌkaɪ.əˈliːtʃə/ is a partially informal township in Western Cape, South Africa, located on the Cape Flats in the City of Cape Town. The name is Xhosa for New Home. It is reputed to be the largest[2] and fastest growing township in South Africa.[3]
Cape Town initially opposed implementing the Group Areas Act passed in 1950 and residential areas in the city remained unsegregated until the first Group Areas were declared in the city in 1957.[4] When Cape Town did start implementing the Group Areas Act, it did so more severely than any other major city; by the mid-1980s it became one of the most segregated cities in South Africa.[4]
Plans to build Khayelitsha were first announced by Dr Piet Koornhof in 1983, then Minister of Co-operation and Development. By 1985 the suburb Site C had 30,000 people. Khayelitsha was one of the apartheid regime's final attempts to enforce the Group Areas Act and was seen as the solution to two problems: the rapidly growing number of migrants from the Eastern Cape, and overcrowding in other Cape Town townships.[5]
The discrimination and black population control by the apartheid government did not prevent blacks from settling in the outskirts of Cape Town. After the scrapping of pass laws in 1987 many blacks, mainly Xhosas, moved into areas around Cape Town in search of work. By this time many blacks were already illegally settled in townships like Nyanga and Crossroads. During 1983 and 1984 conditions in squatter camps like Crossroads and KTC worsened, exacerbated by official policing policy in which homes were destroyed[6] and the emergence of the Witdoeke, led by "Mayor" Johnson Ngxobongwana.[7] The Witdoeke were actively supported by the apartheid government in its fight against the ANC-aligned UDF who had actively opposed plans for people to be moved to the new township of Khayelitsha.[8] As the black population grew, the apartheid regime sought to solve the "problem" by establishing new black neighbourhoods. Khayelitsha was established in 1985 and large numbers of people were forcefully relocated there,[9] mostly peacefully,[10] but occasionally accompanied with violence.[11]
The Western Cape was a preference area for the local coloured population and a system called influx control was in place preventing Xhosas from travelling from the Transkei without the required permit. After the historic 1994 elections hundreds of thousands moved to urban areas in search of work, education, or both. Many of them erected shacks made of tin, wood and cardboard.
Today Khayelitsha has a population of 391,749(as of 2011) and runs for a number of kilometres along the N2. The ethnic makeup of Khayelitsha is approximately 90.5% Black African, 8.5% Coloured and 0.5% White, with Xhosa being the predominant language of the residents.[12][13] Khayelitsha has a very young population with fewer than 7% of its residents being over 50 years old and over 40% of its residents being under 19 years of age. In 2011 around 62% of residents in Khayelitsha were rural to urban migrants,[14]:6 most coming from the Eastern Cape. In the communities of Enkanini and Endlovini over 85% of the residents were born in the Eastern Cape.[15]
About 75% of residents consider themselves Christian while about 20% follow traditional beliefs and a negligible number consider themselves Muslim.[16]
Khayelitsha is one of the poorest areas of Cape Town with a median average income per family of R20,000 (US$1,872) a year compared to the City median of R40,000 (US$3,743).[17] Roughly over half of the 118,000 households live in informal dwellings.[15]

Since the ANC came to power in the country in 1994, the ruling party claims that living conditions in the township have improved markedly. There have been many developments such as new brick housing being built, new schools being built, and the creation of a central business district in the Township. However many residents strongly dispute the claim that the quality of life has improved. They claim that crime rates remain very high and that only a small portion of residents see improvements as a result of infrastructure and welfare interventions.[citation needed] The Khayelitsha Commission was established by the provincial government to investigate allegations of inefficient policing in Khayelitsha and a breakdown in the relationship between the police and the community.
Around 70% of residents still live in shacks and one in three people has to walk 200 meters or further to access water.[2] Around 53% of Khayelitsha's total working age population is employed. The five most common forms of employment are domestic work (19.4%), service work (15.2%), skilled manual labour (15.2%), unskilled manual labour (11%), and security services (10.4%).[14]:7 89% of households in Khayelitsha are either moderately or severely food insecure.[14]:13
The 2001 census recorded that two in three residents lived in shacks. By 2011 the number of people living in formal housing had increased to almost half due to the construction of roughly 25 000 new houses being built between 2001-2011.[18]
As you can see! Khayelitsha increased because Black People are looking for jobs! And this region is closest TO WHOM? This region is closest to WHICH GROUP THAT HAS ALL THE MONEY!? AND OPPORTUNITIES IN WHICH CITY!? Cape Town. AND, lemme stop. You see, when Black People are destitute and broke! But Whites can dictate everything, then it's tough-titty for Us. But then when they lose their ability TO OVERTLY HOARD AND CONTROL EVERYTHING!? Then it becomes bar the gates and hide the women, cuz the Blacks are gonna take everything from us now! And then...? When THAT DOESN'T HAPPEN, then it becomes test the waters to see how Blacks react. Usually with some fake press and fake humanitarian-acts, shit like that. Then once it becomes clear that all Black People are really looking for is jobs and a chance, then we get CLOWNED! After a little bit of time, usually a decade. Then Whites begin the propaganda machine of talking about how broke and poor we are, because we didn't blitz their little treasure-trove of stolen resources, wealth and opportunities.It's bizarre from a psychological standpoint where every and any time you show this person or people any kind of compassion and ability TO MOVE ON IN LIFE. They then take it AS WEAKNESS. And simply scheme a new way to start fucking with you again. The fact that the ANC did not IMMEDIATELY SEIZE THE MOMENTUM! And bring White Criminals to justice when Apartheid ended and SEIZE ALL OF THEIR ASSETS AND DUMP THEM INTO THE TREASURY TO GET THE MASSIVE AMOUNT OF INFRASTRUCTURE WORK STARTED. Was a costly mistake, but with all of the backdoor bullshit and sidebar deals being made with Whites. Be they South African or not, it created a mess! A mess that THEY NOW HAVE TO CLEAN UP. But this bullshit about everything being better under White-rule and MORE DEMOCRATIC?
Nigger-slave, please, shut the fuck up.
