Bantu Education was a system that was imposed upon people of my pigmentation (Black people to be exact). By an oppressive system of government, that was set up to denigrate and pull down and suppress for economic gain by another sector of humanity. It was an already made excuse, because if you could label me non-white than you can oppress me that much. And once you do that, then you could dehumanize me and take away that which defines me as a human. Meaning when you kill me or torture me, in you damn head you are not doing that to a human being. So my existence does not matter, whether I am dead or alive is of no consequence to anyone or anything. So black back then were only of importance or consequence to the level to which they contributed to the empowerment of those that had set this rules in place. Even the architect of Bantu Education had said himself that it was useless to teach Blacks: Mathematics or Science blah-blah-blah, because Blacks according to him are designed to be viewers of wood and drawers of water. Hectic.
Please remember this history. Happy Reconciliation Day.
