South Africa

[Burke]

"Graca Machel, the human rights activist and wife of Nelson Mandela, has warned that South Africa is an “angry nation” teetering on the brink of “something very dangerous” if extreme levels of violence in the country are not addressed.

"Mrs Machel said the anger sprung from “unaddressed” issues around the country’s apartheid past, adding: “We have to be more cautious about how we deal with a society that is bleeding and breathing pain”."

Now that blacks are running things there, they are killing one another left and right. As they did before the dirty imperialistic whites settled there. And, of course, the real problem is "unanswered issues remaing from Apartheid." In other words, whites are somehow responsible.

Seems almost as bad as Chicago.

The simple fact is that many blacks in Africa were better off when white Europeans were running their countries.

Just like "native Americans" are here today with descendants of white Europeans running things. ( until recently)

you aren't justifying apartheid, or pretending like it was all rosy during that time are you?

this is socioeconomics....there is extreme poverty, inequality, and lack of opportunity, stemming in large part from the divide of apartheid

the "have's" in SA generally are those who were granted unequal opportunity from apartheid
