Botswana has about 6 people and no one wants the damn place.

That is a comment on the population, not the goverment.

Try being white and speaking against the government in Kenya, hell take a picture of a statue there and get arrested.

But Kenya did acknowledge that its white residents as citizens. South Africa did not recognize black South Africans as citizens.

Even if we throw out Kenya, Botswana, Senegal and Tanzania were consistently more free than South Africa. So your claim is wrong.

Unlike most here, I have lived and traveled in Africa, as have my parents, and there is no where else I would have lived then SA.

That's your choice, but it reflects your opinions about other sub-Saharan African countries, not the facts.

Tanzania were consistently more free than South Africa.

Can't speak for the other places, but I traveled in Tanzania in the 1980s, under Nyerere. One newspaper in the whole country, put out by the state. Comical roads with potholes big enough to store a Volkswagen. And few of those. Secret police lounging around Dar-es-Salaam. Corruption absolutely everywhere.

But they were a "front-line state" against South Africa. I'm not endorsing South Africa, but sheesh! Black or white, people preferred it to Tanzania. If not for the Soviet interest and the racial obsession in the West, the country would have made a transition like Chile. Instead, it's headed down the tubes.

I give up. You win. Being racist against white people is fine.

THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE IN SOUTH AFRICA AND THE REST OF AFRICA EXCEPT THE DOMINATE TRIBE WAS WHITE.
