Injustice

Injustice literally means lack of fairness or justice. People who feel oppressed or are untreated fairly normally feel injustice. John Kumalo, a politician and Stephen Kumalo’s brother, fights against the white people not because he hates them, but because, “I hate only injustice” (211). John made up his mind to fight as a patron for justice and to make sure the black people achieve justice. He states that black people are being forced into labor yet they do not even receive the fruit of their labor. This is why John fights for justice. Most people dislike injustice and do not want to be put in a situation where they feel injustice. This is why most people fight against others. They feel injustice. It is like people have a certain standard between other people, type of honor code except for justice. People tend to not cross the line because they know consequences come rushing in right after. The white people crossed the line and destroyed the line. This is also why the black people are offended. They feel the urge to protect the line and so strikes happen and people, who can motivate, like John Kumalo, take the lead against such things.
