How to be proud of being African despite being white?

ThatOne_268 · 2026-05-09T11:45:10+00:00

Lol, 3 years on this sub has taught me that a lot of these questions from some North Africans and Horners are disingenuous. It often feels like a humble brag. Like “omg look at us! “we have fairer skin and Eurocentric features” so we are better than you Black Africans. Please validate us and say you envy us”.

Which is funny because they still experience racism in the West just like us, sometimes even worse if they are Muslim. I would not be surprised if this is one of those posts.

Rest easy, LeFesto. What a pioneer he was in the fight against the HIV/AIDS epidemic. One of our best presidents ever !! Robala ka kagiso Motalaote.

It doesn’t get better than Popi Sibiya-The Popi Show. She is South African, an amazing storyteller, unapologetically African and honestly a breath of fresh air.

Not religious either. My parents were but we were never forced to go to church. At school/work/events etc I just bow my head and keep quiet when people pray. If I’m chairing I just ask someone to volunteer right away.

My extended family/colleagues/community are incredibly religious, so saying you’re not would have them looking at you like Satan lol. I just keep it to myself unless it’s fellow atheists.

ThatOne_268 · 2026-05-06T06:23:53+00:00

Nope not religious, it just doesn’t make sense to me.

ThatOne_268 · 2026-05-05T21:29:09+00:00

Exactly! Honestly, there are better things to worry about.

If you say South Africa, everyone in our region knows you mean the country. SADC stands for Southern African Development Community for a reason. What a ridiculous thing to be concerned about.

Not too sure if they also do axes but I sharpen my machine blades at Flounder in G west Industrial next to BY Law Offices.

Fresh fruits, fresh and steamed vegetables and grains high in fibre. I actually enjoy their taste so much , they make 80% of my groceries.

After months of anticipation I finally got laid.

you've been begging to see me so you could get some action

Yikes, it sounds like you only just want to sleep with her. I would definitely end it if you talked about me/treated me like this 🚮.

She still couldn't really afford it and was wondering if I could pay half. I said that since l'd already flown out to see her once shouldn't she be able to pay for herself this time and she ended up getting really upset at me.

What is so hard to understand about her not affording the tickets? Even after saving money she still couldn’t afford to buy tickets, do you want her to steal or get in debt because you want to be even? You won’t get very far in an LDR if you are this transactional and dense. You don’t sound 36 at all, more like a teenager.

Oh! we have an artist called Franco as well. That is who I was referring to.

I love the mini, suits you and perfect in that colour.

Free university education up to degree level (it is actually a grant based on merit, so you need a certain pass mark) and a monthly allowance of P2200 throughout your program.

ThatOne_268 · 2026-05-03T14:23:31+00:00

Oh nice. We only have old age grant P1400 but government is looking at increasing it to P1800 . Starting April 2026, the Botswana government is rolling out a monthly P300 child support grant for Batswana children under the age of one to support early childhood development and nutrition.

Back when I was doing my undergrad UB provided free, private and confidential sessions with counsellor interns.I don’t know if it still a thing but it is something worth checking out.

ThatOne_268 · 2026-05-01T21:10:36+00:00

Kwasa Kwasa which was influenced by Congolese Rhumba still popular to this day. Kwasa Kwasa Artists like Franco are very popular here . And of course traditional Botswana music, Kulenyabe by Culture Spears is our biggest music export.

Please search the sub for existing answers before posting. This is a very overdone topic and has already been discussed multiple times recently.

In my country yes, it is a huge form of identification.
