There are so many thoughts that have been running through my head for the past week.
Perhaps they were set off by the rumblings of dissatisfaction at work.
It could simply be a culmination of subconscious thoughts that have been lying, buried in my psyche for some time,
I think my social media activity even spiked near the end of the week, with me making several Twitter posts.
Which can be, unhealthy. And worse a poor medium for expressing how you come to a conclusion regarding a certain or particular topic.
What should I opine on?
The lecture by Prof Lushaba at UCT that has ruffled the feathers of white South Africans who cry, “Racism” and “Anti-Semitism”?
They bely their anti-intellectual nature in speaking on the lecture that they evidently did not watch.
Prof Lushaba’s lecture was on the change that happened to Political Science after the 1940’s due to its realisation that simply depending on the law as an instrument for democratization was erroneous. The date is important because that is when the Jewish holocaust happened. Prior to that was the Herrero holocaust, which Political Scientists glossed over, because the disaffected were Africans not Europeans.
That was the primary thrust of the professor’s argument: “modern disciplinary structures begin from the sensibility of white people”.
I do encourage all to watch the entire hour-long lecture on YouTube.
