We have failed to encourage greatness in black, says JR

JR is a master at spitting lines so when it comes to issues affecting South Africans, you can bet he has an opinion. He has taken aim at government saying that while opportunities where created for black South Africans, the 'how to' part was neglected.

The rapper began the debate by referencing a passage in the US Declaration of Independence where the pursuit of happiness is defined.

He said that he agreed with the lines "freely pursue and enjoy life in a way that makes you happy" and pointed out that this is where South Africans have failed.

Why Black South Africans suffer from "Ubuntu Syndrome" is because we failed to encourage greatness in Blacks when apartheid was abolished.

In communities confidence is built by money...in the you are taught that you live in the best country in the and can have ANYTHING

Black Government you CREATED opportunities for us, but you FAILED to teach black about possibility and attainability.

Why do youth look to western influence? Because Black Government you failed to remind us how great we are! How great is!

The musician said that because of this he considers himself a musician from South Africa and not a South African musician.

Deep, much?
