olden days

References to the olden days,
to Times When Life Was Better
always always always
remind me of slavery and Apartheid and
Times When Black Latino Indigenous Peoples were killed with no regard

so when checking out books at the University of the Western Cape's library and
one two three different Coloured people told me that I would have appreciated how much better life was under Apartheid

As always, I asked them: Better for who?
Their responses, all three, revealed who they cared most about:
Everyone
(meaning White people and those who are temporarily tolerated by Whiteness)
