Singer and actor Clint Brink took to Instagram to talk on his observations on racism. He posted an image of himself sitting in front of a picture of former South African president Nelson Mandela. The image was accompanied by a lengthy caption addressing his concerns about the colored community.
“Truth of the matter is… Colored people don’t support colored people. As a people we are incredibly divided and have no culture of celebrating or uplifting the other.” he said.

Clint added that even those who become successful “hardly” give back to their people.
“Even those who are accomplished hardly pour back into their people. This energetically and spiritually allows everyone else to also overlook and dismiss our people. On top of being marginalized we are scrutinized, discarded and misrepresented by many.”
He urged the colored community to have more pride in who they are and where they come from.
“… HELP your fellow person reach their desired goals and dreams…. No man is an Island & we are all GOD’s people… Self-love is sorely lacking and greatly needed!!!”
Clint’s message was well received by his followers with many agreeing and expressing similar concerns.
