Say it isn't so. Bishop Tutu admitted things were better then than now.
Wait until they debate the effects of Black-rule
The same thing seems to be happening here in America. Barry has been sticking it to the blacks since he took office.
Can we say “duh”...
I’ve issued this challenge here on FR for years.....never any takers.
Show me one nation ruled by blacks that is well-run and prosperous. Just......one. I won’t even go into the violence aspect.
The egalitarian ethos means the death of a “People” and their civilization. We have surrendered our right to govern to those with a low intelligence coupled with poor impulse control. God Help Us!
Desmond Tutu has no moral stature.
We need to stop talking in terms of race....it goes for South Africa, and it goes for this country as well.
It is about culture....One cannot choose their race, but they ultimately choose which culture to belong to....and we should be able to state that certain cultures are inferior to others.
Um, yes, it is.
Blacks in Rhodesia were much better off back then too.
White guys made it great. Your tribe destroyed it.
Detroit, South Africa, New Orleans, Rhodesia, E ST Louis, Haiti, Chicago, Rwanda, Baltimore, Somalia and the list goes on...
Without the white guys and their apartheid you black South Africans would have no gold mines. You would be as poor and discombobulated as most African nations. Even with your gold mines you are doing a fine job of turning the clock back 200 years
The preferred voter block could break an anvil.
South Africa has a huge problem in that it has elected the same black liberation party (ANC) ever since apartheid ended. The party that ended apartheid has routinely commanded such a large share of the black vote that they get 60%+ in general elections and can do whatever they want.
This has translated into corruption, nepotism, sex scandals, nutty officials, racial violence and a dramatic decline in economic growth. Yet the same party gets elected over and over, and they know no matter how bad they screw up because the vast majority of blacks will always vote for them.
It's the South African version of George Bush's fault.
.. all this remind you of anyone we know? :)
Desmond Tutu is a LIBERAL NUTCASE who promptly moved to the US from South Africa after he played a key role in turning that nation into a Hell hole.
Whites are always to blame in the eyes of black political agitators. Though Tutu (who preveiously called for a white tax) admits that South Africa is worse now under black rule both violence-wise and economically, Tutu still blames South Africa’s problems on the “legacy of apartheid” even though blacks have rules for twenty years now.
We see the same in America with Detroit being a perfect microcosm. When whites fled the wave of violence that came with the 1967 riot and black mayor Coleman Yound taking power in Detroit in the 70s, whites were blamed for the wave of crime and fledling economy that followed because whites left city and took their tax money with them. Recently when the state of Michigan wanted to appoint an emergency financial manager to help bailout Detroit, Detroit’s black leaders (and Jesse Jackson) agrgued that white intereference in Detroit was racist.
Literally, in both America and South Africa, whites are blamed for black poverty and crime when whites are in power and when whites are not in power. And whites are to blame when whites self-segregate, when blacks self-segregate, and when both are integratated.
Why doesn’t some politician have the stones to call these agitators on their obvious BS? Just tell them the truth — people create their communities. If there is more violence and poverty among certain communities it’s because that’s what those communities create for themselves. Apparently, in South Africa, in America, and in points between.
Well, well. The old Marxist revolutionary might actually make himself worthy of all the acclaim he’s received. He’s being honest regarding a very difficult topic, for himself in particular.
Watch the left agitate against him now, though. This is what they want. They’ve wrought it elsewhere and continue to support it. Why should South Africa be any different?
