You would not be saying that if it was you under colonial rule. Not everything was a bed of roses for blacks in these countries. Albert was a paternalistic man even when he wouldn't have black African doctors in his employ. Before you go off spouting crap about blacks not being able to employ themselves look at BOTH sides of history not just the what the glorious colonial powers did.

Quite correct cyborg -- Forget about what is there now -- the point is that Apartheid was wrong. IT was evil. Do you guys agree with that?

I don't think anyone is denying that Mugabe is a jerk, a racist and a guy who's running his country into the ground and probably Mbeki is too (don't know enough), but that does NOT make the Apartheid govt ok. Would you say that E. Germany was a hell hole under communism, so was NAziism ok? sheesh.
