Helen Zille sparks Twitter ire again with 'black privilege' comments | Ethan_VD

Why is she saying this stuff in English?That set off a chain of events with everyone, from PowerFM talkshow host Aldrin Sampear to Madonsela, responding to the former DA leader.

Would you ask of a rape victim"why did she keep the baby?"Don't be that person. I know that you are always up for a debate but sometime you tweet the most hurtful and inconsiderate things. Mmusi speaks of White privilege are you gonna ask him why is he speaking English?It was, however, her response to actor Hlomla Dandala that really turned up the heat.

Dandala was responding to a Twitter user who posted:"Suits are associated with colonial influence no? How about all the other privileged colonial stuff we take for granted, the car, the suit, the cellphone, iPad, bank account, internet, mansion in the burbs, where would you like to draw the line?" Suits are associated with colonial influence no? How about all the other privileged colonial stuff we take for granted, the car, the suit, the cell phone, iPad, bank account, internet, mansion in the burbs, where would you like to draw the line?Dandala said:"You clearly don't understand white privilege. We had plenty technology here that was eroded/annihilated by colonialism. You did us zero favours by colonising us.

You clearly don’t understand white privilege. We had plenty technology here that was eroded/annihilated by colonialism.
