The awnser is the middle passage

( The “Middle Passage” was the journey of slave trading ships from the west coast of Africa, where the slaves were obtained, across the Atlantic, where they were sold or, in some cases, traded for goods such as molasses, which was used in the making of rum.)

The Middle Passage

I think you have illustrated/painted a good picture here and in some ways I agree with you. South Africans in general are feeling in their everyday life how many of us feel about the happenings on this very forum in the last week or so. I see a frustration and South Africans is like a pressure cooker that has build up steam and ready to explode. There are so many issues that cause this. We have to deal with increases in food prices, fuel prices, slow economic growth and the crime factor. We look at government and ask, WHY!? Silence and denial is all we get. I said many times that respect and tolerance goes a long way. I do not have to agree with you or any ANC supporter or participant here but my actions towards fellow contributors or fellow South African should be of such that I am respected for my personal believes. One thing that I have advocated previously and something which I still say is ‘Attack the question and not the person’. You can have heated debates and express your feelings without being personal. This is my view which I am not afraid to state openly. I can only call for sanity and my appeal to everyone is to give each other the hand and say enough is enough. I mean, we can not continue like this!. It is a disgrace and as Christians, we should feel ashamed of ourselves. Can I appeal to everyone to bring this forum back to what it was. It is great debating but not this fighting and distrust amongst us.
