Silencing citizens based on race is wrong. Telling white South Africans we cannot comment on corruption is a dangerous double standard that undermines the very democracy we all live in. An honest look at the last 30 years means holding two truths at the same time: Apartheid was a corrupt, bankrupt system that left a ruined foundation, but modern state capture cannot be excused or shielded from criticism because of the past. Demanding accountability isn't a racial privilege; it's a civic duty. When billions are stolen from Eskom or public health, it hurts the entire country, especially the working class. The ANC inherited a bankrupt state sabotaged by the Nats, but pointing to the rot of the past cannot be used to justify the tender fraud of the present.
 Using historical trauma to deflect from current criminal behaviour is destructive. You cannot build a just society by gatekeeping who gets to fight for it based on skin colour. We all have a stake in a functional South Africa.
