Not only did whites and Afrikaners in particular, give ALL people ( white, black, and colords ) an education, it was, even under Apartheid, far superior to that in the USA; except for the best private schools. Afrikaners saw to it that as many nonwhites were educated, as was humanly possible, including University ! It was Mandela's ridiculous incitements, which inflamed certain blacks to burn down schools, and for an entire generation of blacks, to stay out of school. Another thing, which you obviously don't know, besides all balck colleges, blacks were, under Apartheid, to attend white Universities. So put that in your blinkered mind, attempt to digest it, and stop talking nonsense.
You can't possibly equate American blacks, with those who live in Africa. Yes, there really still ARE " savages " there; educated or not.
In your shoddy replies, you completely forget about the wealthy black ( Mandela's, for one ) and colored families, who utterly shoot your racist theories sky high. LOL

Pass laws or “influx control”: Blacks violating law if they are in an urban area for more than seventy-two hours without having obtained special permission
Did you support apartheid?
If the white-minority government implemented apartheid to help the blacks, then why did they gradually take away all their political rights and eventually strip them of their citizenship?
If the white-minority government implemented apartheid to help the blacks, then why did they restrict the employment opportunities of the blacks to low-paying jobs in the mines and fields?
If the white-minority government implemented apartheid to help the blacks, then why did they forcibly relocate 3.5 million blacks?
If the white-minority government implemented apartheid to help the blacks, then why did they forcibly 70% of the population to (blacks) 15% of the most barren land?
As for life under Mandela as opposed to PW Botha blacks suffer more today than ever before many would welcome a return to law and order,liberals like you are fleeing the country and those that remain are either being killed or raped
First, I am not a liberal. I almost always vote a straight Republican ticket. Second, you could use your argument to justify a return to communism in Russia. Living conditions for the average Russian have declined since the fall of communism.
As for my "savage" remark maybe you would like to hear about a few things....and this is black on black crime.....at least under apartheid the only blacks that we killed were were communists...as Bush says "enemy combatants"
Violent acts committed by a minority of the black population.
Do you think that blacks are genetically inferior (less intelligent and more violent) to whites?
Three of the five quotes are not even from ANC leaders.
One last thing I have photos to prove my point ....do you?
I use logic and facts, rather than pictures of violent acts committed by a small number of blacks, to prove my argument.
10-4 on has an agenda. I tagged him early on but he just kept coming back. However, I learned about the SA situation from other posters. I was watching the Tiger Woods Challenge while working the thread so didn't invest time in dealing with the newbie.
What a waste and revolting situation that SA is going down the tubes. Such unnecessary suffering and destruction.
Tagged...right! Anything you say....
And why not American or European blacks?
Speaking English and believing in witch doctors are not genetic traits.
Unless you have discovered a language or religious gene...
Do you think that blacks are genetically inferior (less intelligent and more violent) to whites?
Sounds like you don't really know what "apartheid" is.
I have a very good understanding of apartheid. Try reading some of my posts.
Bad news for you, since you are black.
