He sounds like some of my friends, and say friends loosely because sometimes I have to cover my ears! Either he is basing that on his experiences with blacks in SA OR he got a prejudiced, negative report from an American white person which happens often.
I remember my boyfriend telling me that many white SA's used to be happy to get black tourists from other countries because that meant an intelligent conversation. He was used to black africans but can't say he enjoyed their company much. He's been living here in USA for a while, and I've never heard him say anything negative about black people. SA has gotten a lot of bad press, most of it undeserved and anyone who wants to understand the country has to read A LOT of different material.

Well half of my experience so far on the Freepers site, is learning from alot of different materials.
I came to the Freepers site, in quest to better educate myself, so I can become a better voter.
Along with other various self studies.
Sure am getting alot here.
