Obviously not, ending Apartheid was a one way affair.
Now you understand why they resisted so much pressure for so long. Because they knew if they did not, their children would be killed by the unleashed majority which has no historical understanding or respect for things like the right to life or any of the other things we in the West understand to be basic human rights.
Those things are not universal concepts, they are Western ones. A people which has no history of them is not going to magically adopt those ethics on their own.
There have been very few examples of a people who were historically brutalized by a dispotic regime such as the NP’s Apartheid, who did not seek retribution against their former oppressors, once they came to power.
Hell, it took the people in the South 100 years to get over being brutalized, dehumanized and humiliated from losing the War of Northern Aggression.
There you go, there’s the blood on your hands.
The industrialized state that existed in South Africa was not a native one and not primarily for their benefit, and that is why the policy existed.
It’s also why a first-world infrastructure existed. Now, they cannot figure out how to get enough water into their cities to sustain them.
After the genocide will probably also come a mass humanitarian crisis afflicting the very people the end-apartheid do-gooders were allegedly trying to save. That is also one of those “inevitable historical consequence” type things (see: Rhodesia).
“The industrialized state that existed in South Africa was not a native one and not primarily for their benefit, and that is why the policy existed.”
The NP under Apartheid forceably removed people from their land.
The ANC has forceably removed people from their land.
Both regimes were and are evil.
