From 1949 though the early 1990s, South Africa was ruled by an Afrikaner Apartheid regime that made race the basis for law and politics, and which systematically excluded black Africans from their civil and national rights, empowering white Afrikaners alone.

The social statistics produced by that regime, however, are not so different from those produced by ordinary every day legal and social practices in today’s United States.

You neglected to mention preferential treatment for college
You neglected to mention preferential treatment in job seeking
You neglected to mention preferential treatment in home buying
You neglected to mention preferential treatment for food stamps
You neglected to mention preferential treatment for welfare
You neglected to mention preferential treatment for medical care
You neglected to mention preferential treatment for every goddamn thing that a person has to do to live life!
There is zero incentive for a “person of color” to be the least bit responsible because liberals have legislated protections such that it’s surprising a congressperson doesn’t wipe the butt of every “person of color” when they are done spelling “Obama” in the pot!

and then, they are protected in HS and allowed to get away with anything and everything....

they attack and kill whites with impunity....

you can not question them on anything...

I am sure you will be welcome in South Africa.

What all this crap is going to build up to is “Executive Reparations” for backs and hispanics along about January 2016. I understand this can’t be constitutionally done without an appropriation from congress, but it could certainly start a race war if Obama pits blacks and hispanics against congress.

So am I wrong or do their own numbers show that Blacks were more law abiding under Apartheid

They were in addition to that the country has gone to crap since Apartheid but lets not talk about that...
