The Broad-based Black Economic Empowerment (B-BBEE) Amendment Bill eliminates all white people including the disabled. The definition of black people is now clear and aligned with the Constitution, Tlhoaele said.... Read more on South Africa Today
I saw that. It’s a clear affirmative action requirement that will disadvantage whites relative to blacks. But, it does not mean that whites are completely excluded from the job market.
We have, or are developing, similar diversity requirements in the USA.
I agree they suck.. I prefer a meritocracy to a racial spoils system.
Appear whites in S. Africa are being oppressed. Might want to consider moving to the US.
That's been around for a while. Liberia. It's a h#$%-hole.
Throughout history, poverty is the normal condition of man. Advances which permit this norm to be exceeded here and there, now and then are the work of an extremely small minority, frequently despised, often condemned, and almost always opposed by all right-thinking people. Whenever this tiny minority is kept from creating, or (as sometimes happens) is driven out of a society, the people then slip back into abject poverty.- Robert Heinlein
This is known as 'bad luck'.
I see a lot of 'bad luck' in SA's future. It will be UNEXPECTED®.
Anyone in the US try to find a job lately? Whites are not considered here either.
Very much so.
When TUTU got the prize, I told my wife...’There goes South Africa, back 400 years...’
I wonder how many blacks in America are clamoring to go there since they put Racist White People in their place.
I also read the article; it appears to be a policy of Affirmative Action on steroids. White the act itself does not drive whites out of the labor market, it is clearly a step in that direction and toward that endgame goal.
Liberals like to tout the South African Constitution as a model for what they call “positive rights,” but what I believe are better called “collective rights.” They are not prohibitions on what the government can do to you, but rather what it is theoretically supposed to do for you. Such “rights” as the rights to education, housing, employment and health care. What liberals don’t like to mention is that these provisions of the South African constitution were cut and pasted from the constitution of the USSR. Which is understandable, since the ANC are all Soviet communists.
Long overdue
Yup...same here.
It was all over when they moved section 8 housing into that well kept small town. All the retail stores, everything, save liquor and title loan places have fled.
Will there be international sanctions against this new Apartheid state? No? Didn’t think so...
There goes the neighborhood...going from worse to “worser”....
Do you think game shows will quit giving away vacations to S.A. now?
Enjoy that “white priviledge” folks. Just a matter of time before whites are in the minority in the US. Same thing will happen here. Blackie will take everything from whitey, break it, then demand whitey fix it. He’ll discover whitey had the sense to leave so there’s no one to blame and no one to take more from, and in a very short time the US will resemble sub Sahara Africa. Without producers the takers can only take so much, then it’s gone.
I ain’t gonna play Sun City.
Really? Just how many South Africans do you know? On my latest trip to South Africa, I listened to a national news broadcast in which a leader of the Zulu tribe proclaimed that, upon Mandela’s death, the Zulus would engage in the same type of cleansing that has been underway in Zimbabwe for years. Do a search for “violence against whites in South Africa”.
I’ve done a number of training missions to Africa, including South Africa before and after the transfer of power to the ANC. Among black Africans, tribal affiliation always has and always will trump all other loyalties and affiliations. There are significant physical differences between people of different tribes. Some whites can tell the difference as can virtually all black Africans. Members of the predominant tribes in South Africa - particularly the Zulus and Xhosa, treat whites and members of other tribes with equal disdain - whether they’re native to South Africa or not and violence against black immigrants from other parts of Africa is actually quite commonplace.
This tendency applies especially to immigrants from other parts of Africa, as I witnessed in the Alexandria area of Johannesburg (a huge ghetto of makeshift “houses” with about one water spigot per block), which, as of 2008, had the largest population of immigrants from other parts of Africa. Students from Zimbabwe, Lesotho and Chad have told me that they were treated far better by white South Africans than by the Zulu and Xhosa.
Americans did not understand Nelson Mandela and still don’t understand the dynamics of African culture and politics. As one of my Zimbabwean students (who was also a friend) told me some time ago, “Zimbabwe cannot afford to cut off relations with South Africa (which was still under apartheid at the time). South Africa is our single largest trading partner. The ANC poses a much greater threat to Zimbabwe’s national security than South Africa. Don’t Americans understand that Nelson Mandela is a communist?”
Dang, that's harsh! Feel the love, bro...
