Re blame.

.....the legacy of white minority rule,which damaged the social structure of the black people.

I hope none of these worthies ever go to India. Seems that with a vast population, that country is doing admirably well. Colonized they were and for over 200 years.

Fact is that they USED the structure of the whites and still do, apparently. This in reference to the law courts, civil service, military and democratic rule.

.....the legacy of white minority rule,which damaged the social structure of the black people.

All of colonial Africa has been using that excuse for thirty years, and probably will continue to use it for another fifty.

James Michener, in one of his many books, posed the idea that Africa may well have to go through a couple of centuries of retribalization followed by nation-building again. I often think of that when reading news from Africa. Steyn has called it new-primitivization or re-primitivization....

Anyone remember when Idi Amin kicked out the People of India who owned most of the shops and collapsed the economy of Uganda?
Remember that India refused to take them back as most were no longer citizens of India. They went to England.

Weird isn't it?! India got smart and thought....hmmm....we may not like the fact that the flag has a union jack but they may have something useful to bring us.....maybe we should look into it....

The whites in SAFFA own many of the businesses....I would think it would be a good thing for everyone to 'play nice' so the economy would grow in leaps and bounds......but what do I know....
