more then 3/4th of the population was black

why did the black population not mobilize faster and use violence to get their freedom when they had the numbers?

Exactly

Most blacks preferred some sort of white dominated rule over a black ruled shite hole

They got eyes

They could look around the continent

As I recall the Zulus being formidable and purty smart sure as hell preferred woods to the Xhosa who dominated the commie ranks

Remember In 1860 Honest Abe only got 39% of the popular vote and in Kentucky less than 1% and in Maryland only 2% and Only 10% in Missouri and less than 1% in Virginia and not one vote at all in other southern states

And we know all too well how that continues to play out

Does make you wonder how long until a civil war ensues between the Zulu and Xhosa?

It is said that cultural and linguistic differences between South African blacks can be as great as those between Irishmen and Turks in Europe.

And now they have their own immigrant problem with many refugees from other African countries invading SA. No different than what many European countries are facing.

It's one thing to be a gainfully employed member of a white owned company and another to be the newly crowned owner of a property you have just confiscated and have no frickin idea how to run it...........

Same thing happened in Cuba when the Castro regime took control and confiscated all properties from both the corporations and the campesinos who were not supportive of the Marxist Castro.....

There was no one left with the knowledge to run the companies and the private farms that were taken over by the regime........

Because the majority of blacks were not Communists...

One of the major factions of blacks was the Zulu tribe, led by Chief Mangosuthu Buthelezi, who was pro-Western and Christian. Buthelezi wanted a constitution that would limit the powers of the national government, leaving much power to the individual states. Mandela (a member of the Xhosa) tribe) was the leader of the ANC and a Communist. His second in command, Joe Slovo, was a Communist from Lithuania, no doubt taking orders from Moscow.

Africa was black and backward. White guys take a small part of it (South Africa) and make it “Europe South” and create a really nice culture

Oh yes, South Africa was "so nice" with its institutionalized discrimination. How wonderful for "Europe South"!

The white culture in South Africa was branded racist because it was racist. Anytime there are special civil and legal rights manufactured for one group of people, and inferior "rights" imposed at the expense of other groups, then something is fundamentally wrong.

It was and is wrong when it occurred in South Africa, and it was and is wrong when it occurs here in America, regardless of who the "victims" happen to be.

Black South Africans could watch what was unfolding on their northern border (in Zimbabwe) and see the writing on the wall; Mandela begged whites not to leave, because it would leave a country without skilled or educated workers (doctors, mechanics, etc.). While power & wealth would be shared with blacks, whites themselves were still going to be in a better position than most blacks. Now that they aren’t feeling so secure, they are jumping ship.

Only reasonable to note that Lincoln didn’t get votes in various states largely because those states disenfranchised large numbers of their people who probably would have voted for him. In a couple of cases they were the majority.

So “popular vote” in that context needs an asterisk.
