NOW IN ONE CLASS THERE WAS A GENTLEMAN BY NAME TULA WHO I WAS INFORMED HAD BEEN A MEMBER OF THE ANC AND HAD RUN TO THE NETHERLANDS FOR POLITICAL ASYLUM. NOW ONE DAY IN CLASS, TO MY BEWILDERMENT, I WAS ASKED BY A “WHITE” SOUTH AFRICAN FEMALE CLASS MATE WHOM TULA SEEMED TO BE VERY CLOSE WITH (AS HE REFUSED TO EVEN SAY HELLO TO MY HELLO BUT WAS ALWAYS EAGER TO BE SEEN WITH THIS FEMALE STUDENT IN THE CLASS) THE FOLLOWING (I QUOTE:) “…Do YOU KNOW WHY TULA HATES YOU? ….” BLOWN AWAY I RESPONDED “EH!…HATES “ME” NO WHY? AND SHE SMILED AND ANSWERED (I QUOTE:) “….BECAUSE HE FEELS “YOU” HAVE NOT SUFFERED….” WOW! I EXCLAIMED AND ASKED (I QUOTE:) “….AND TULA ACTUALLY TOLD “YOU” THIS IS WHY HE HATES ME?…”:WARMLY SMILING SHE NODDED HER HEAD AND SAID (I QUOTE:) “….YES!”. THUS, MY QUESTION TO THE COMMUNITY IS “WHY” WOULD TULA, SOMEONE LIKE MYSELF FROM SOUTH AFRICA, SEE IT BEFITTING TO “HATE” ME A PERSON HE HARDLY KNEW, BEYOND SEEING ME IN A CLASSROOM SETTING, WHEN I WAS NOT THE ONE THAT “TORTURED” HIM (AS LOOKING AT HIS NUMEROUS FACIAL SCARS HE WAS A GENUINE VICTIM OF TORTURE AND NOT SOME ECONOMIC REFUGEE)…IF THERE IS ANYONE OUT THERE THAT COULD HELP ME UNDERSTAND THIS DISTORTED SELF-HATE KNEE-GRO DEPRECIATED MINDSET I WOULD APPRECIATE IT!"},"content":{"rendered":"\n

This is a TRUE STORY and one that stayed in my mind for decades as I had hoped one day outside of class to meet this fool called TULA and ask him WHY he would see it beneficial to HATE his OWN KIND (worse still to even “discuss” it with some “white” South African girl whose parents had also “left” South Africa at the time of conflict in comfort and where living in a comfortable house in their new found country while he (Tula) was dumped in a dead-beat one room squat as a refugee) while doing his utmost to be “near” and “Liked” by the very same people who tortured him while intensely “Hating ME” simply because those who labelled themselves as “white” tortured him and they did not TORTURE ME in his distorted mind? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sadly, semester ended and because I never wanted to cause a scene in class (as the last thing that I ever want is to be seen in dispute with my own kind giving “other” the opportunity for morbid joy) I never got the moment in time alone to meet this TULA fella beyond in the class where often he sat his distance as I certainly would have loved to know what makes a man degenerate to this low level of SELF-HATE. anyway, I do hope some one in this community can provide an answer befitting (beyond regurgitated text-book stuff) so I can find some solace to this sheer human stupidity!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","question-category":[],"question_tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lusquan19.com\/questionanswer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/question\/120"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lusquan19.com\/questionanswer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/question"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lusquan19.com\/questionanswer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/question"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lusquan19.com\/questionanswer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lusquan19.com\/questionanswer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=120"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lusquan19.com\/questionanswer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=120"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"question-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lusquan19.com\/questionanswer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/question-category?post=120"},{"taxonomy":"question_tags","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lusquan19.com\/questionanswer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/question_tags?post=120"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
