One conversation that is missing is WHY was apartheid implemented in the first place? The answer no one wants to discuss is the fact that there was uncontrolled illegal immigration into South Africa.
Actually, the controversy in the 1948 election was the government permitting legal immigration of English speakers. The Boers were worried that if enough English speakers immigrated they would out-vote the Boers. The Boers loved their low-cost black labor, who couldn’t vote anyway.
Yes, it is.
And there has been a huge public backlash.
The MSM has all tried to rewrite history on this. Everyone who knows the truth must be pretty stunned at the lack of facts and balance in this coverage
If not, the praise to Mandala and his followers is not justified.
So, was their country better off after Mandela -
poverty, crime, class mobility, etc?
I don’t think anyone could make an honest case for this.
any MSM coverage of that?
There is nothing honest about the veneration of a terrorist
Mandela was no saint. Very few of us are. He waged a war against injustice. War is a dirty business. He also was the only man who could have governed after the end of apartheid without the country disintegrating.
I'm no Mandela fan. Really don't give a squat. Just some thoughts....
