Under Apartheid, blacks were second class citizens and suffered hardships. Since Apartheid, blacks have equality and EVERYBODY suffers hardships.


I saw a very moving video (with English subtitles) about 3 years ago with a Chinese manager telling an African foreman that the project was being called off because Africans could not be trained. The African blamed it on whites.

The Chinese guy said: 'Your country had railroads before we did in China. Now China has many railroads and you have none. In 200 years didn't you learn anything from the white man?'
The black guy just hung his head down in shame.

Latinos from Central and South America can stay here but whites from SA can't? Sounds like racial discrimination to me.

There is a lot of poor whites there. I belong to a relief group that helps whites get food and shelter. They can't get governmental assistance because of racial discrimination.
so basically apartheid? The irony, no?

I can describe the problems exactly:

Roads barely passable.
Water system collapsing. No drinkable water.
Rampant violent crime.

Am I describing Jackson, Memphis, Montgomery, New Orleans, or South Africa?

fricking criminal that media refuses to report what has happened there. Journalists are taking their place at the bottom of the barrel, with lawyers and politicians.

When I was in my 20’s I worked at a lumber company in New Mexico. One or our regular customers was an attractive lady in her mid 40’s from South Africa. Still the hottest accent I’ve ever heard.
