    Default Stop using language which marginalises people: ANC's Duarte



    South Africans must change their language on issues of racism in order to create a non-racial society, ANC deputy secretary-general Jessie Duarte said on Tuesday.

    She told a discussion session in Johannesburg that the African National Congress should reject the use of language which marginalises people.

    "I'm sorry but I am not a minority. I am a South African black woman. And I am a South African citizen and very proud to be that," Duarte told the discussion...read more here: Stop using language which marginalises people: ANC's Duarte

    Exactly. If they want racism to stop then they should start with getting rid of all their ridiculous policies like AA, BEE, BBEEEE, etc. They are forcing a clear divide in the workforce and now they're worried about language.

    I'm a firm DA supporter and the reason is that they don't care about race, they just want what's best for everybody and are doing the best they can to achieve that goal. Look at the WC. There are people of every race, creed, culture, etc. and they are doing phenomenally. What is the rest of the country doing? :| Not to forget that as soon as the ANC alliance has any involvement in the WC all hell breaks loose (farm strikes for example). Hopefully the younger generation who doesn't care about race or the history of the country can take us forward.
