Engaging Ntokozo Qwabe on disrupting whiteness and black people's attachment to whiteness:
Dear Ntokozo
I trust you have been well and that you have enjoyed your brief sojourn before you return to your studies in "Mother England".
The past few weeks have been an exhilarating time to witness the dialogue between, amongst other things, whiteness, blackness (with a white waitress in between) and the inherent contradictions which lie at the heart of the two in the post democratic era we live in. All catalysed by the antics of yours truly of course.
I remember when I became privy to your remarks on social media. I was somewhat amused but also taken aback by what had transpired. How could this respectful, modest young man (whom I know relatively well), gloat about reducing a woman to tears. I really considered this unbecoming of a gentleman and further of a social activist like you. At the time, given the furore caused by the shallow analysis and media condemnation by the tabloids of your acts I took a decision not to comment and hoped we could discuss this in person.
I recently came across an explanatory note published in the "Daily Vox" (not that you need to explain yourself) and was quite intrigued by it and saw this as an avenue to engage you on this issue (sitting in an office at the heart of white monopoly capital with a cup of good English tea - I hope this does not reinforce your liberal views of me, haha).
