“What’s with people treating “housemaids” inhumanly? Why do they always believe they are less as a human being than their bosses are? God Africans. In the first place, this is even a crime because it’s child labour and most likely unpaid. Then attempted murder? Of a child?”

“Former slaves becoming slave lords. Their fight for freedom was never about hatred for inhuman treatment, it was a quest to become one themselves. I don’t know why this keeps happening in the East. May God help everyone to raise their kids by their self”
