The opportunity to know and connect with the traditions of ancestors is such a precious blessing, especially when it was all but stolen by a coloniser that coercively and narcissistically introduced a claimed socio religious tradition as the apex belief system. As a South African, of slave decent (to Cape Town), viewing this video filled me with great admiration, joy and pride that not only has the tradition of ancestors survived the onslaught of colonisation but that it is embraced with a deep sense of ownership and pride ......... expressing the legitimate value of spiritual and temporal practices and traditions of human beings have an inherent validity and is worth shared ownership and perpetuation.

It seems the line dividing what is and what isn't racist is an extremely narrow one, perhaps only visible depending on one's perspective.
