The document discusses the author reflecting on her generation of black South Africans who have achieved middle-class success but have not collectively fought for broader social and political change. While they know about the struggles of past generations and current student movements, she questions what their generation has done beyond pursuing individual goals and lifestyles. The author argues they must move beyond self-interested gatherings and consider what collective agenda and contributions they can make to build the country.

And have brought humanity to the edge of oblivion: because they think they are white.
—James Baldwin
Son,
Last Sunday the host of a popular news show asked me what it meant to lose my body. The host was broadcasting from Washington, D.C., and I was seated in a remote studio on the Far West Side of Manhattan. A satellite closed the miles between us, but no machinery could close the gap between her world and the world for which I had been summoned to speak. When the host asked me about my body, her face faded from the screen, and was replaced by a scroll of words, written by me earlier that week.
The host read these words for the audience, and when she finished she turned to the subject of my body, although she did not mention it specifically. But by now I am accustomed to intelligent people asking about the condition of my body without realizing the nature of their request. Specifically, the host wished to know why I felt that white America’s progress, or rather the progress of those Americans who believe that they are white, was built on looting and violence. Hearing this, I felt an old and indistinct sadness well up in me. The answer to this question is the record of the believers themselves. The answer is American history.
This article is adapted from Coates’s forthcoming book.
There is nothing extreme in this statement. Americans deify democracy in a way that allows for a dim awareness that they have, from time to time, stood in defiance of their God. This defiance is not to be much dwelled upon. Democracy is a forgiving God and America’s heresies—torture, theft, enslavement—are specimens of sin, so common among individuals and nations that none can declare themselves immune. In fact, Americans, in a real sense, have never betrayed their God. When Abraham Lincoln declared, in 1863, that the battle of Gettysburg must ensure “that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth,” he was not merely being aspirational. At the onset of the Civil War, the United States of America had one of the highest rates of suffrage in the world. The question is not whether Lincoln truly meant “government of the people” but what our country has, throughout its history, taken the political term people to actually mean. In 1863 it did not mean your mother or your grandmother, and it did not mean you and me. As for now, it must be said that the elevation of the belief in being white was not achieved through wine tastings and ice-cream socials, but rather through the pillaging of life, liberty, labor, and land.
That Sunday, on that news show, I tried to explain this as best I could within the time allotted. But at the end of the segment, the host flashed a widely shared picture of a 12-year-old black boy tearfully hugging a white police officer. Then she asked me about “hope.” And I knew then that I had failed. And I remembered that I had expected to fail. And I wondered again at the indistinct sadness wellin ...

Iimbali!
O
n the day I found out that
Shaeera Kalla was shot,
Busisiwe Seabe was stun-
grenaded and Benjamin
Lesedi Phehla was fatally run over, I
received a phone call from a decent-
sounding middle-aged white woman.
“Hello, is this Miss Milli B? I’m call-
ing to invite you to a networking ses-
sion hosted by ___ Coffee. Is this a
good time to talk?” I am not proud of
how impatient I was with her but my
response has since left me question-
ing. “This isn’t a good time to talk but
this is also not the time to be having
coffee-fuelled socials. Our country is
in crisis,’’ I said.
But I don’t blame her for calling
me. I have long enjoyed the fruits of
being the go-to black girl for brands.
I am 31. I have been thinking about
the fact that we, the blacks of my gen-
eration, thrive on the islands of mid-
dle-class accomplishment and have
mastered the art of living for our-
selves too. Just like the white people
we like to castigate. Fine. As we say:
“Siyasebenza, only rest in Dezemba.’’
But it’s quite obvious from how we
live our lives that there isn’t some-
thing that we are collectively fighting
for and are collectively giving up for
other generations beyond ourselves.
There have been many times when
I’ve had to stop myself at the door of
reality when talking about the cur-
rent students and their generational
demands and struggles. It’s not my
struggle.
For a long time, I thought of my
three years at the University Cur-
rently Known as Rhodes (Uckar) as
the best three years of my life. I had
that dreamy university experience
and I don’t regret it. But I also realise
that my black friends and I did noth-
ing to complicate the problematic
Uckar experience from a political
perspective.
And 10 years later, nothing
urgently compels me to live for any-
one beyond myself except my bloom-
ing political consciousness. So far, it’s
been about My Career. My Car. My
House. My Holiday. My Medical Aid.
My Family. My Flat-Screen Life.
We’ve become the individual-
ised, nuclear models of neoliberal-
ism and are trapped between those
who were striking in 1976 and those
who are striking in 2016. Bar the
birth of the EFF, what is the genera-
tional exchange between us and our
parents, and us and our younger
siblings? What are we doing for
citizens beyond ourselves? We were
impressed by the girls of Pretoria
Girls High, but what have we done as
a generation to protect them against
a beast we have also encountered?
We are not bad people. Neoliberal
capitalism was the Snapchat of the
political world in the early 1990s, the
app that all countries were down-
loading. There was no way Nelson
Mandela’s new government was
going to avoid that successfully. And
so we are the data of that project.
What will history say about us?
That we were masters at being cute
with our natural hair and ombre
weaves? That we had the right to
experience peace because our par-
ents fought for it? That our lifestyles
kept Top Billing on air? We have, no
doubt, left crumbs of wisdom for the
13-year-olds to pick up and platforms
for the 21-year-olds to look up to.
But I’m tired of our useless gather-
ings, of sparkling wine-filled boozy
lunches and cured meats. It’s nice
to know the taste of eisbein and
Graham Beck’s Brut. But to what
end? We know so much. About eve-
rything. Iconic revolutionaries. The
fees movement. The potato boycott.
Which YouTube link has all the
Stokely Carmichael speeches. Helen
Sebidi. Aquaponics. Leica AGs and in
which aisle at Thrupps one will find
the Boursin cheese. But what is our
collective agenda?
Our parents have different reasons
to spend their money. Some went
to jail or knew the humiliation of
being exiled inside and outside their
home countries. They have a differ-
ent relationship with umlungu. But
we have played with her, slept in his
bed, drunk whisky at his company’s
retreat and done our nails with her.
We were luckier. We want the land,
but do we have a plan for what we
are going to do on it when we get it?
And some, like me, are not landless.
What am I building, knowing that on
both my parents’ sides, there is free,
available land on which I can build?

The Vedanta Treatise: Swami
Parthasarathy’s seminal work
about recognising and harnessing
one’s core self is the kind of gift
that finds you if its teachings are
what you seek. It’s a collection
of treatises about diminishing
distractions, developing spiritual
guidelines to live by and quieting
the mind so that it can get to the
work of living its pur-
pose. I’m a third of the
book in and I’m already
holding my mind differ-
ently and recognising
the difference between
the useful and the use-
less when it comes to
what to engage with.

Known and Strange
Things: Teju Cole is bet-
ter at nonfiction than fic-
tion, and his latest book
of essays is some of the smartest
cultural writing in recent memory.
Cole is able to discuss history in a
decisively modern vernacular, and
his writing about photography
and black image-making breathes
new life into the stale genre of the
photography essay. Also, if anyone
sees him, please ask him to come
back to Twitter. (SM)

Moving (340ml): I looked
through an old stack of CDs while
preparing for a long drive alone
last week and had completely
forgotten about this album — my
personal soundtrack for 2004
to 2006, years characterised by
Greyhound trips across the Cape,
graduating into the “system”, pay-
ing tax, changing looks and dark
encounters at Evol in
Cape Town. (MB)
The Leftovers: This is
a perfect TV series. The
premise is simple: What
happens when 2% of the
world’s population dis-
appears? Rather than
going to a sci-fi mys-
tery place, it focuses
on those who are left
behind and how they
deal with a world that
has shifted underneath them. It’s a
searing meditation on family and
grief, anchored by beautiful per-
formances from an ensemble cast
led by Justin Theroux and Regina
King. (SM)
