I Luv bruin ou"s
No one like them!!
With Bruin Os, everything starts late! Everything ends late. Time is just a thang!
Bruin Os philosophy about time is, "We may not be on time, but we are in time, and we don't want to miss anything."
Bruin Os arrive late for weddings, funerals, and Sunday church services! And then act like they are on time!
Every family has a drunkard...
Their gospel choir can sing a three word song for twenty minutes.
In their church, the announcements are longer than the sermon.
Bruin O's cry and pass out at the funeral, but are fine and laughin' at the dinner following the interment.
Bruin O's will ask grandparents to watch their kids while they run an errand but don't pick them up until two days later.
Bruin O's refer to diabetes as, "Sugar."
Don't ask Bruin O's for the precise time. They respond, "Almost a quarter after...." or a "little after two."
Bruin O's stay engaged for six years and never get married.
Bruin O's put tamatie sous and green chillies on everything!
Bruin O's have at least one family member that "almost" made it as a soccer star.
Bruin O's re-use ZipLoc baggies, paper plates, plastic forks, spoons, and plastic knives.
Bruin O's put thin left over bars of soap in jars or plastic containers, run scalding hot water over them to melt them down to use as dishwashing liquid or home made bubble bath.
Bruin O's won't throw anything away! The rationale is that you never know when you might need it!
IN SPITE OF ALL OUR PECULIAR WAYS, I STILL LOVE Bruin O's! DON'T YOU??
Go on and smile...It is not that serious!
"Those who read are those who lead,
Those who don't, are totally deceived.
How will you grow, if you don't know?"
Being COLOURED in the work place
They take my kindness for weakness.
They take my silence for speechless.
They consider my uniqueness strange.
They call my language slang.
They see my confidence as conceit.
They see my mistakes as defeat. T
They consider my success accidental.
They minimize my intelligence to "potential".
My questions mean "I'm unaware".
My advancement is somehow unfair. Any praise is preferential treatment.
To voice concern is Discontentment.
If I stand up for myself, I'm too defensive.
If I don't trust them, I'm too apprehensive.
I'm defiant if I separate. Yet, I'm fake if I assimilate.
So, constantly I am faced with work place hate.
My character is constantly under attack.
Pride for my race makes me, "COLOURED".
Yet, I can only be me. And, who am I you might ask?
I am that Strong Person... Who stands on the backs of my ancestor's Achievements, with an erect spine pointing to the stars with pride,Dignity and respect which lets the work place in South Africa know, that I not only possess the ability to
play by the rules, but I can make them as Well! COLOURED History 365
