I grew up in a black family in a black neighborhood in a black country. I’ve traveled to other black cities in black countries all over the black continent. And in all of that time I’ve yet to find a place where black people like cats. One of the biggest reasons for that, as we know in South Africa, is that only witches have cats, and all cats are witches.

There was a famous incident during an Orlando Pirates soccer match a few years ago. A cat got into the stadium and ran through the crowd and out onto the pitch in the middle of the game. A security guard, seeing the cat, did what any sensible black person would do. He said to himself, “That cat is a witch.” He caught the cat and—live on TV—he kicked it and stomped it and beat it to death with a sjambok, a hard leather whip.

It was front-page news all over the country. White people lost their shit. Oh my word, it was insane. The security guard was arrested and put on trial and found guilty of animal abuse. He had to pay some enormous fine to avoid spending several months in jail. What was ironic to me was that white people had spent years seeing video of black people being beaten to death by other white people, but this one video of a black man kicking a cat, that’s what sent them over the edge. Black people were just confused. They didn’t see any problem with what the man did. They were like, “Obviously that cat was a witch. How else would a cat know how to get out onto a soccer pitch? Somebody sent it to jinx one of the teams. That man had to kill the cat. He was protecting the players.”

Ms. Jenn Rodriguez Ms. Jenn Rodriguez (Oct 06 2020 2:38AM) : Question 1 more

Why is this line so powerful? What is it saying? How do you think this outrage over this cat made the black people in South Africa feel?

Cynthia Salinas Cynthia Salinas (Oct 13 2020 4:02PM) : The black people in South Africa definitely felt offended because the White people only cared about themselves and not cared about others. When the white people saw a black person getting attacked by a white man, they didn't do anything, more

but when they saw a white person getting attack by a black person, they had to throw the black person to jail for attacking a white person. Which is very unfair.

Samantha Villalpando Samantha Villalpando (Oct 13 2020 5:23PM) : Just out of nowhere when their own kind a white man does something terriablly wrong then they are all scared and worried.But never when the average black man tends to get treated wrongly,they just turn themselves away not even caring. more

This line is so powerful because it is basically saying that the white people finally opened their eyes to the abuse going on.But they never focused or cared about when the Blacks would get treated wrongly.All now just out of nowhere they start caring and getting scared.This outrage over this cat video made the black people feel like they were still less.I say this because now that one of their people the white man does something wrong they then start getting worried and scared.But when its about a black man they don’t even turn to look at them.

Elizabeth Rodriguez Elizabeth Rodriguez (Oct 13 2020 6:53PM) : I believe that the line was so powerful because the line is stating that the white people had finally realized that they were abusing them . They starting caring and getting scared and they had barely realized everything. more

I think that the cat made the black people in south africa like they were less and they made them feel really bad .

Alondra Perez Alondra Perez (Oct 13 2020 1:37PM) : This line is so powerful because it explains how white people realized that all the abuse they had going on had to stop. I think the cat made the black people in South Africa still feel less of a person because the white still didn't care about them.

Giovanni Lozano Giovanni Lozano (Oct 13 2020 7:42PM) : This line feels powerful for giving information about whites treating blacks as none human beings. But mostly say about how small things can turn into a Fire Hazer, watching people kill and treat others like animals. And hurt others that aren't just them. [Edited] more

This line explains how life isn’t just far for many and has become more serious. For example, police were arrest for killing. And paid a high enormous fine to get out of jail, while on the other hand, when a black person kills a person, he is charge for many reasons, and isn’t forgive.

Mr. Emiliano Fregoso Emiliano Fregoso Mr. Emiliano Fregoso Emiliano Fregoso (Oct 13 2020 7:42PM) : : more

When people saw this event happen on live TV people got mad because black people felt like the white people only thought about what they thought was right. The reason why this is powerful is because this shows how if a black person got hurt no one would care but if it was a white person everyone would be mad.

i think the outrage over this cat made black people from south africa like if they weren’t valuable people others seems to care more about a cat being beaten to death by a black person than caring about a black person being killed by white people.

Gilberto Orozco Gilberto Orozco (Oct 13 2020 5:39PM) : That line is so powerful because it shows how unfair it was for blacks because this black beat a cat and he has to pay a big fine but a white man beats a black man to death but the white man doesn't get punished and I think it made them feel very upset

Rigoberto Ramirez Rigoberto Ramirez (Oct 14 2020 12:19AM) : When The black security guard killed an animal all white people found that insanely violent and arrested the guard but white people were not doing that when they saw a video about white people beating up a black person. more

Black people were confused due to The black security guard being arrested for killing a cat which was a unfair thing because in the text Trevor explains how in a video white people are beating up a black person and White people did not find that insane. what Trevor means is that Black people are being treated unfairly and how white people don’t care about Black people or their feelings which is a cruel thing.

Juan Reyes Juan Reyes (Oct 14 2020 2:04AM) : Response to question #1 more

I would say that this line is so powerful, because In my opinion I think it relates to what is happening today in our world. Another reason on why the line is so powerful is because this paragraph is saying that white people are making a big deal about a black person beating up a black cat, but the white people don’t really make a big deal when a white person beats a black person to death.The black cat makes black people in South Africa feel scared and nervous, because they think that black cats are “witches pet” and are practically bad luck.

Francisco Quintero Francisco Quintero (Oct 13 2020 8:10PM) : this line is so powerful because it tells us the different perspectives of people and how it affected them. black people would feel offended or confused because they would think that white people think evil cats are more important than them.

Oct 14
Luis Castillo Luis Castillo (Oct 14 2020 4:28AM) : This line is so powerful because this shows how white people are self centered and only care about themselves. This line is saying that if a white person sees a black person getting beat up,its normal to them.When its the opposite its such a big deal. more

I think people in africa were suprised too. Because to them cats are witches. So they would think about someone trying to jinx a person in the field.

Adrian Sanchez Adrian Sanchez (Oct 14 2020 4:58AM) : Adrian Sanchez more

the black people from south Africa were offended because the whites dont get in trouble as much as black people do. for example in the text a white person can beat up a black person and can get away with it because black people cant do nothing about it but the black person kicks a cat because he believes its a witch he gets in trouble and is considered guilty of animal abuse because white people got mad at him for that.

Oct 14
Lendzy De Leon Lendzy De Leon (Oct 14 2020 7:32AM) : This line is powerful because white people realized that all their abuse was bad like they cared about the smallest things that where not really important. The outrage of the cat made the south african people think that they were not valuable, more

people seem to care more about the cat than the actual person.

Kayla Alvarez Kayla Alvarez (Oct 14 2020 8:51PM) : The line is so powerful because it explained how white people treat black people as if they are less than them. more

I think the outrange with the cat made the black people feel angry but they didn’t see a problem with what he did because white people do way worse things to black people.

student miyoko gonzalez student miyoko gonzalez (Oct 15 2020 8:35AM) : This line is powerful because it's talking about how when white people do something nobody speaks up but when a colored person does something everybody starts to make a big deal about it. more

This outrage over this cat made the black people in South Africa feel confused because they’re making a big deal about a cat like a colored person kicking a cat but when a white person was beating a colored person til death people people don’t say anything.

Daisy Salgado Daisy Salgado (Oct 15 2020 8:21AM) : Africa American thought that the white people only care about themself and would never change.

Barbara Marquez Barbara Marquez (Oct 15 2020 10:43PM) : Black people in South Africa feel very offended because white people are worrying more about an animal that represents something more

bad to them . Yes , I know that treating a animal like that is not correct but , black people grew up with that idea, and it is something normal for them . Also white people take the time to watch a video where a cat gets beat up to death by a black person , but they don’t see how they treat black people.

The most powerful line in my opinion is they were mistreating the black people even after it was the whites doing. I feel like that is very powerful because it shows that blacks are getting mistreated and judged just because of the color of there skin which seems very unfair.

This line is so powerful because it shows how only white people cared about how the African American treated the cat and didn’t know why he was doing that for.I also think that people in South Africa really didn’t care about how he treated the cat because of how they would think the cats where witches.Then something else that I’ve say is that people in South African probably felt mad about the white people making the cop go to jail for doing the right thing for his country.

They would arrest the black person. Which is very unfair . Because white people have attacked black people and the police let that happen.

A month after we moved to Eden Park, my mother brought home two cats. Black cats. Beautiful creatures. Some woman from her work had a litter of kittens she was trying to get rid of, and my mom ended up with two. I was excited because I’d never had a pet before. My mom was excited because she loves animals. She didn’t believe in any nonsense about cats. It was just another way in which she was a rebel, refusing to conform to ideas about what black people did and didn’t do.

In a black neighborhood, you wouldn’t dare own a cat, especially a black cat. That would be like wearing a sign that said, “Hello, I am a witch.” That would be suicide. Since we’d moved to a colored neighborhood, my mom thought the cats would be okay. Once they were grown we let them out during the day to roam the neighborhood. Then we came home one evening and found the cats strung up by their tails from our front gate, gutted and skinned and bleeding out, their heads chopped off. On our front wall someone had written in Afrikaans, “Heks”—“Witch.”

I wasn’t exactly devastated about the cats. I don’t think we’d had them long enough for me to get attached; I don’t even remember their names. And cats are dicks for the most part. As much as I tried they never felt like real pets. They never showed me affection nor did they accept any of mine. Had the cats made more of an effort, I might have felt like I had lost something. But even as a kid, looking at these dead, mutilated animals, I was like, “Well, there you have it. Maybe if they’d been nicer, they could have avoided this.”

After the cats were killed, we took a break from pets for a while. Then we got dogs. Dogs are cool. Almost every black family I knew had a dog. No matter how poor you were, you had a dog. White people treat dogs like children or members of the family. Black people’s dogs are more for protection, a poor-man’s alarm system. You buy a dog and you keep it out in the yard. Black people name dogs by their traits. If it has stripes, you call it Tiger. If it’s vicious, you call it Danger. If it has spots, you call it Spotty. Given the finite number of traits a dog can have, pretty much everyone’s dogs have the same names; people just recycle them.

Panther was my mom’s dog; Fufi was mine. Fufi was beautiful. Clean lines, happy face. She looked like a perfect bull terrier, only skinnier because of the Maltese mixed in. Panther, who was more half-and-half, came out weird and scruffy-looking. Panther was smart. Fufi was dumb as shit. At least we always thought she was dumb as shit. Whenever we called them, Panther would come right away, but Fufi wouldn’t do anything. Panther would run back and get Fufi and then they’d both come. It turned out that Fufi was deaf. Years later Fufi died when a burglar was trying to break into our house. He pushed the gate over and it fell on her back and broke her spine. We took her to the vet and she had to be put down. After examining her, the vet came over and gave us the news.

Fufi was a little rascal as well. During the day we kept the dogs in the backyard, which was enclosed by a wall at least five feet high. After a while, every day we’d come home and Fufi would be sitting outside the gate, waiting for us. We were always confused. Was someone opening the gate? What was going on? It never occurred to us that she could actually scale a five-foot wall, but that was exactly what was happening. Every morning, Fufi would wait for us to leave, jump over the wall, and go roaming around the neighborhood.

to take Fufi away

Fufi was my first heartbreak. No one has ever betrayed me more than Fufi. It was a valuable lesson to me. The hard thing was understanding that Fufi wasn’t cheating on me with another boy. She was merely living her life to the fullest. Until I knew that she was going out on her own during the day, her other relationship hadn’t affected me at all. Fufi had no malicious intent.

I believed that Fufi was my dog, but of course that wasn’t true. Fufi was a dog. I was a boy. We got along well. She happened to live in my house. That experience shaped what I’ve felt about relationships for the rest of my life: You do not own the thing that you love. I was lucky to learn that lesson at such a young age. I have so many friends who still, as adults, wrestle with feelings of betrayal. They’ll come to me angry and crying and talking about how they’ve been cheated on and lied to, and I feel for them. I understand what they’re going through. I sit with them and buy them a drink and I say, “Friend, let me tell you the story of Fufi.”

The lesson that Trevor learns once he got Fufi in returned is that “you do not own the things that you love.” Once he learned that lesson,he saw the world different.Trevor has told many of his friends about it.
