Many of us remain African at a deep structural level. A study of our traditions will reveal that they rival any tradition past or present, and that we have valid options for world view, values and practices, which are suitable for us today, with appropriate modification. Thus in South Africa now it is very expensive to be poor. It is the poor people who stay further from town and therefore have to spend more money on transport to come to work for the White people; it is the poor people who use uneconomic and inconvenient fuel like Parafin and coal because of the refusal of the White man to install electricity in Black areas(Today they use paraffin because it is now sold and those who cannot afford it use the fuel to cook and warm up. The Apartheid goons did a good job of destroying so much information when the ANC was taking over, that I have begun my own way of gathering all types of images about Africans here in Mzantsi… I have, as I stated early, begun collating cultural photos. I have not yet gotten to the fashionistas of Mzantsi, as yet. The images of the greats you talk about from Frederick Douglas to everybody in-between, is the same here. I once talked about Mpanza, and if you check out his photo, even riding his horse, he was immaculately dressed. So that, what I am saying to you is that, we, under Apartheid suffered a distorted, disfigured and ugly image about ourselves bandied by the White intelligentsia. 1974 A Whites-only team defeats a Blacks-only team (2-0) in the Embassy Multinational Series at the Rand Stadium.3 June, Mr. Norman Middleton, president of the South African Soccer Federation, is refused a passport to attend a meeting of the International Football Federation (FINA) in Frankfurt on 11 June.

Donna & Sarah give their top 5 gift ideas from Independent businesses they love. This “social question,” as Brazilians call the divide between rich and poor, has characterized the nation since colonial times. With industrialization and urbanization during the first decades of the twentieth century, however, the growth of the Brazilian middle class has made this simple division more complex. Today, depending on how it is defined, the middle class accounts for one-fifth to one-third of the population, but the resources and lifestyle of its members vary considerably. Some claim the Brazilian middle class admires elite values and aspires to elite status and it is indeed true that middle-class families in Brazil are far more likely to employ domestic servants and send their children to private school than their North American counterparts. With urbanization has come a number of intractable social problems. The large cities of southern Brazil have long attracted migrants from the impoverished north, but the economies of these cities have not expanded rapidly enough to absorb all these migrants. Unemployment, underemployment at subsistence wages, poverty, and crime have been the result. So, too, have been the growth of shantytowns, such as the famed hillside favelas of Rio de Janeiro. Favelas are extralegal settlements consisting of makeshift dwellings that lack urban services. Rings have also been very popular. Men don’t only wear rings as a sign of marriage or engagement but they now have been a fashion statement. Most men will just go with simple silver bands but that doesn’t make flashier kinds uncommon. Those who want to look Gothic will choose skull rings, etc. They also sometimes show their appreciation to diamonds by wearing diamond rings that look masculine and highlight their personality.

Being able to speak another language maybe a source of pride for teenagers or make them part of groups and activities they wouldn’t otherwise be able to join. They may also like the fact that it makes them stand out and gives them an identity outside the norm. Although some Afro-Caribbean teenagers are happy to accept this others feel that their white peers are invading what is theirs and trying to take over their identity or even ‘be’ black. This may even be regarded with suspicion as it may seem to be done with negative aims or intentions. It is understandable that anyone of Afro-Caribbean origin maybe upset, offended or suspicious of someone of another race taking on aspects of theirs especially as they may feel they do not have much of their culture for themselves as it is by living in predominantly white country. They may feel that they are being taken over more and more and that their culture is being made white and so they lose a connection to their roots and identity.
