#patterms

I wanted writing to be lavish, subtle, evocative, that could describe mists and moods and hopes and not just facts and solid objects. I wanted to map how the world is connected by patterns and intuitions and resemblances. I wanted to trace the lost pattern that came before the world was broken and find the new ones we could make out of the shards.

As a South African I have to disagree with the author, racism is learnt, deal with black people for any length of time and they will teach you to be racist by their behavior. I’ve always said that if there is a devil, he’s black, no other race is as cruel as they are simply as a matter of course. As we say here it’s the nature of the beast, you cannot expect a German shepherd to behave like a chihuahua and you cannot expect a fish to climb trees. Neither is in their nature. It is the nature of blacks to behave like blacks.
