Mark Mathabane touched the hearts of millions with his sensational memoir, Kaffir Boy,. A book highly-praised by Oprah and President Clinton for inspiring hope, Kaffir Boy described the effects of South Africa’s system of legalized racism and oppression on black lives in vivid prose. The book won the prestigious Christopher Award, was a finalist for the Robert F. Kennedy award, rose to #3 on The New York Times bestsellers list, and to #1 on the Washington Post list. It is required reading in schools across the country. In his latest book The Language of Ubuntu, Mathabane uses his experiences with race in both South Africa and in America, where he has lived for the past thirty-seven years, to provide a fresh, timely, and provocative approach to the search for solutions to this country’s number one and most intractable social problem.
Mathabane argues that the reason many Americans are turned off by the current divisive racial dialogue is because the discussion has mostly been about the politics of race and avoids the elephant in the room - - what each of us can do to become agents for racial healing. His solution is for people to learn to speak the language of Ubuntu, a Zulu word for common humanity. Mathabane shows how Nelson Mandela used such language to rally blacks and whites to abolish apartheid peacefully; and how Dr. King did the same thing for African Americans during the Civil Rights Movement in the battle to eradicate Jim Crow.
With race dominating the news during the 2016 Presidential election, in the wake of the killing of black men by the police, and growing protests on college and university campuses, Mathabane challenges both blacks and whites to use the language of Ubuntu to overcome the stereotypes, half-truths, misconceptions, and mistaken beliefs they have of each other so they can connect as human beings to achieve racial healing. Without this human connection, Mathabane argues, the racial divide will only get worse and make lasting solutions virtually impossible.

You know what can really help heal the racial divide in America? First liberals need to stop muckraking and making everything about race. Second, they need to apologize to the millions and millions of people they have characterized to minorities as being racist, simply because they are white. Simply being born black doesn’t make you an NBA star. Simply being born Asian doesn’t make you good at math. And simply being born white doesn’t make you a racist.

@rivatej428: So, to “heal the racial divide” we all need to pretend it doesn’t exist, it’s just a liberal hoax. The same MAGA principle that is working so well with dealing with the pandemic, or climate change, or any other problem.

rivatej428, stop it. You lost. It’s all over except for the shooting & bleeding & crying & dying & consequences of catastrophic runaway climate change mass extinction dominoes. Truly America first……..then the rest of us. Soon y’all will let go your dumb political pretext & it’ll be ’sorry neighbour, your kids need to die today, so mine can die tomorrow. Overshoot loop again only this time it’s planetary. A hothouse extinction like almost all the others, mass & lesser only instead of volcanic traps spewing GHG’s over many thousands of years, it a clever rapacious ape digging & burning in less than 3 centuries. It’s not about chimp politics - physics & chemistry. Planet’s seen it many times before & will again. We won’t - we’re just renting. The hour is very late - it could be no other way. No blame in the big picture. We are what we are & what we are not is not in charge, not in control & not long for this world.

Anyone who believes in Climate Change should end their own lives, it’s the ethical thing to do.

@BigFinishFan How convenient it would be if people who disagreed with you killed themselves. If they don’t comply, I’m sure you can come up with a Final Solution.

Please lead the way; it’s the ‘big finish’ we’re all looking forward to.
