You were the kaffir

Racist white man. Do you still walk around thinking of yourself as superior to all? Do you still believe that people of colour need to bow before you? You probably think black people are inferior because they are ignorant. Ignorant is the man who teaches his children to hate people because they have a different skin colour and then tell them on Sunday that God loves us all. Ignorant is the man who reads the bible and call themselves Christian but yet turn around and oppress others. Do you think God approved of your actions. Do you truly believe the same God who loves the poor and protects those who are suffering was in favour of white supremacy?

You called us kaffirs, a term Muslims use to refer to a non-believer. I'm here to tell you that you were the non-believer. You preached messages in church which you never followed. Thou shalt love they neighbor as thyself. That's one of the ten commandments which you failed to follow day in and day out. The Bible spoke about Moses setting His people free. We are now free and were led to freedom by Nelson Mandela and the many who fought besides him. Indeed, we are His people seeking the promise land. All along you didn't believe the message you were teaching because you're non-believers.

You didn't want to believe that one day black people would be free. You didn't want to believe that we are very smart people. You didn't want to believe that one day black people would rule the country. Even the Americas never believed that one day an African, who they thought was only good enough to be a slave, would be their president. You didn't want to believe that when black people took power they wouldn't seek revenge because you thought of us as savages. You have hatred that you can't explain it's origin towards black people but you still go to church and sing those hymns with that cloud of darkness covering your heart. It's ironic how you were always the non-believer. You were the kaffir.

Trapped in a world of bitterness, spreading hatred and fear just so you can live exclusively in comfort. Doesn't sound like the life Jesus lived when he was on this earth. Why do you believe in Jesus if you rather live like the devil? I hope next time you're in church you can feel God's touch and free yourself from hatred. I hope you can start looking at a black man and think of him as a brother or otherwise you will always be a kaffir.
