(User Info | Send a Message) | And post-apartheid South Africa is a success story in comparison? LOL.. keep shooting yourself in the foot. Keep in mind, under apartheid, South Africa became, by far, the most advanced and wealthy country in Africa; and under apartheid, blacks in South Africa had the higher standard of living than blacks in any other African country.
dude, am i reading this right? your sense of history is seriously wacked if you honestly believe that. while i agree that post-apartheid south africa have a host of problems from corruption to exploitasian of the starving masses, but nothing is as corrupt and evil as the apartheid system that stripped a nation of its soul as it strips the land bare for gold to benefit only those few in power -- who happens to be white elites. i highly doubt any south african would agree that living in shanty towns and forced to work the strip mines to pay taxes is considered a "higher standard of living." i think you need to go take a goo class on south african apartheid politics to seriously get into any debates on the subject matter.
while modern day black south africans are still suffering from exploitation by the rich, at least it's their own problem to deal with not some rich fatcats who impose a corrupt system to exploit the masses. as ghandi said about the withdraw of the british, "whatever problems shall remain will be india and only india's alone, not those of the british imperialists."
FYI, you arugment sounds like some of the southerners who argued to defend slavery in antebellum america juxtoposing north and south blacks. slavery is still slavery, regardless of how well a slave is treated.
And my opinions have been formulated over time from personal experience, not conjecture. You're the only one speaking in conjecture, living in your little delusional-utopian world.
and you don't think i've encountered racism and discrimination? that i've not been called chink or gook and have gotten into fights because somebody didn't like the color of my skin and i talked back? the whole point i'm saying is that instead of giving into hatred and angst, i choose to understand history and learn to not repeate the vicious cycle of hate. i hope you'll mellow out and trully understand who the enemy is; just to give you a head start, the enemy is hatred. |
