Defining Times

Just read Mondays newspaper article on Reverend Kemo Waters  racist tweet to Hellen Zille that “all white people should be killed” and i am so disgusted that a man of the Cloth could be such a bigot and blame an entire race for how he is treated in a Cape Town Restaurant.

I don’t know why the restaurant had him waiting 30 minutes at the bar for an available table; maybe they were full, maybe people booked in advance and who knows maybe the restaurant person who helped them was racist but we can’t blame the actions of a few for the eradication of the masses.  

How many of you haven’t waited awhile to be served at a busy restaurant in any given province, i sure have but i haven’t blamed that on the colour of my skin.

Where was Reverend Kemo Waters Christian merit when he wrote that tweet and all the others that followed, where was his God likeliness when he turned to hate speech and dubbed himself the “messiah of truth”.

Interesting times when religious leaders are denied access to our shores and those who preach forgiveness, love and honour within it chooses to teach politics over the Bible.
