S Africa returns to Aparthied..?

You don't need to keep the insane crime levels down. It'll fix itself through the invisible hand.

 

[Bill3000]

If there's a better way to keep the insane crime levels down, I'd like to hear it.

Not creating the Bantustans in the first place.

 

[Stewbert 08]

The majority of the practices that I supported in South Africa were the ones that kept the mass of Bantus ("people" in many African languages) off the economically prosperous areas unless they had a reason to be there.

If there's a better way to keep the insane crime levels down, I'd like to hear it.

Hillbrow is a perfect example of this; twenty years ago, Hillbrow was one of Johannesburg's most affluent areas. Today, you wouldn't drive around there unless you were in a tank.

You see, they DESERVED to be kept in ghettos!

Let me guess Amadeus, you are an overweight, white, unemployed male who did not complete high school. Five out of five?

South African justice is a joke. How does a quest for equality turn so quickly to back to inequality?

...because every time government tries to promote one race, even out of cries for "fairness" or "mending historical injustices", it leads to abuse and state-sponsored racism. This is why I oppose Affirmative action.

South Africa has ALWAYS had apartheid, first discriminating against the black majority, then against the white minority.

I don't think the police should be privatized. However, I am against restricting 'Bantus' or whoever from traveling places.

You are only correct on the white part. You failed this assignment with a 20%.

 

[FriendlyFire]

The usual suspects

I thought Mugarbe blamed Britian and the UN ?
should add those to the list.

I think you're right.

you aren't a male?

and I don't see why curtailing the rights of ethnic groups will fix any of this, it's the wealthy or educated black elite which are passing laws to make white groups second-class citizens.

It was unemployed male, and he wasn't talking to me.

Soweto and the other townships weren't in any of the homelands, and there were no homelands in the Western Cape.

This would be true if the ANC followed free-market practices and respected the rule of law.

And you ain't seen nothin' yet! Just wait until Zuma gets in!

 

[Japanrocks12]

Ethnic groups were relocated to townships such as Soweto, IIRC.

 

[amadeus]

Yes. Soweto wasn't actually a name for anything, it was an acronym for South Western Townships.

 

[amadeus]

Congratulations, now you only have that "vicariously racist bigot" thing to work on!

I want what's best for the Africans. I would like nothing more than to see South Africa be a functioning, wealthy, multi-racial, Westernized state.

But for that to become so, it was going to take time; no country developed overnight, and solved the problems of poverty and disease immediately.

Meh?

So the police arrest a white opposition leader?

Is it apartheid?

If this was a white oligarchial apartheid state people would be cheering the arrest of a black opposition leader as a sign that the "rule of law" is being upheld.

She broke the law.

She should be arrested, is that concept so difficult to follow? Or does her being a leader of a white opposition party grant her magical immunity to the law?

she has broken no law. she has demonstrated. If demonstrating is against the law but we're only punishing whites, then, yes, it is apartheid.

You have no idea how funny that statement is, coming from a communist.

Did she really?

Maybe she needed a permit for a protest?

The BBC article doesn't have enough information to make valid judgements, it's a massive overreaction to label this the start of Aparthied.

 

[Slaughter]

It's just a desmostration against drug dealing, damnit!
