The race card is now being played everywhere

I find it amazing that the colour card is used when a restaurant uses family pictures as part of their decorations.

People need to grow up and fast. The family pictures have nothing to do with the apartheid era. It has to do with the ability to celebrate one's own family and friends. Because you find it offensive you expect others to conform to your opinion.

It is time that this colour card comes to an abrupt end and it needs to die quickly.

When it comes to one's own business it is up to me and me alone to decide what my decor will be. Now that we are on this point we can ask why the taverns don't put other races besides Africans on their decor? 

Now to take this forward. People need to start using the "good old brains" that we were given and stop being the sheep that society is turning them into. I have always believed that common sense is the best thing to have and it seems that technology has robbed us of that. 

Just look at our roads (While driving is suppose to be safe) without road rage and anger, look at the social environment (where tolerance is dead), look at the business environment (where business ethics has died a slow death). 

To top this all the youth has no respect for others never mind themselves.

Have we become the mindless zombies as others perceive us to be. 

Really, it is sad to see that this world we live in is a sick affair of a mess and if we don't start changing the way we think and act then we will surely become extinct in the social realm as well as in every other aspect of our lives.

Think, think, think things through and make sure you care about everything and not just yourself. 

We live in a world where facts and fiction get blurred
