Crossroads Of Oppression's End: Liberty Or Greater Tyranny-Part Four South Africa Session Nine

A good thing will not remain good for long without proper follow up. In fact, that good thing could become bad as a result. People who have been oppressed should not be promised entitlements. That in itself would ruin them. For example, if Black slaves who joined the Union forces in the US Civil War were given forty acres and a mule as suggested by the Union forces' leading general William Sherman, they would have squandered it and caused grave harm to them and everyone else in the process.

Oppressed people need to understand that freedom is not free. Independence and liberty means people have to work harder than ever before. Blaming foreign powers, other ethnic groups, and special interests will no longer serve as an excuse. The people must be vigilant to protect these basic freedoms. The best way to do that is to forsake opportunism. People must resist the temptations that private and same-hands governance offers.
