I took a course in “Race and Politics in Southern Africa” in 1979. Even though this wasn’t what was taught, it’s what I learned. I knew then this is how South Africa would wind up once Apartheid was inevitably overthrown.

I still remember a South African white guy that I met in college. He told me that they really wanted blacks to participate in the government there, but they weren’t ready, that they needed to become better educated, and that it was dangerous to rush things.
They, instead, rushed things.
I also knew a bitch in college who said that she could care less what happens in South Africa after they go to black rule, all that mattered to her was that blacks get to rule the country. I asked her if a bloodbath would bother her, and she said “Nope, not as long as there’s black rule there”.
This is how ‘our friends across the aisle’ think.
