@ Morpheus
Your people were in africa for 4000 years and still running round in skins. "based on pseudo sciences and mumbo jumbo about the ability of African people to progress." what pseudo science the evidence is all out there. Now go stand in a food queue and wait for the WHITE americans and europeans to come give you some.
61 African Countries most suffering huge disease, poverty, crime , war and corruption. I rest my case!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What a rubbish comment from an ignorant fool. Just because you have pale skin and by virtue of that you enjoy inherited material benefits you now live your life feeling special. You must be one of the pretenders.

^^^^^^^^^

You should've just opened a new thread to express your thoughts there because what you posted has nothing to do with whether or not you think Mandela was a terrorist or maybe it was some abstract reasoning that I failed to understand. I suggest you open a new thread and title it I Am A White Person, Ask Me Anything. A lot of people will respond to such a thread and you will also get a lot racists people who hate whites with passion like Cap28 but how you deal with them is up to you.

Your last paragraph is typical of the average white South African who believes that the government is against him, I meet guys like you on a daily basis and I always spend time to explain how BEE and Employment Equity has actually benefited whites more than blacks. The problem is that many white South Africans are now enjoying to feel sorry for themselves and moan about how the whole system is against them while they continue to live comfortable lives.

@paniki

word of advise.

you are wasting your time with Cap28. He's never been outside of his400 square foot london apartment, yet he can pretty much sum up everything about your country based on his extensive reading ability, youtube videos and his propensity to retain large amounts of "historical' information.

If I were you, I'd sign off. The boy is highly irrational and will just pull you down in the mud with his thinking.
Yes, I'm signing off

cap28:
so because the white settlers in your country claim to have "discovered" something on another's man land (that was already there) that makes them the legitimate owners of the land?

if that is the case why didnt the people of Libya allow the americans to take over libya after a texan oil company "discovered" oil there in the 1950s?

why did Qadaffi close the american air force base in libya after he overthrew Libya's puppet king  in 1969?

why did mossadegh of iran nationalise the anglo persian oil company in 1954 and end britain's exploitation of his country's resources

why did the iranian people get rid of the shah of iran - an american puppet who was running the country on behalf of british and american oil companies?

You are extremely daft if you cant see that your country has been hijacked from you by european criminals, do  you seriously think they plan to share the wealth of south africa with blacks - you must be living on cloud cuckoo land if you beleive that. 

They have already bamboozled you into thinking that you have a stake in a country where over 80% of your own people live in destitution -  so carry on being a fool.
How many times must I tell you that nobody owned land further than their eyesight in SA 350 years ago? Today with 50 million people most of South Africa's land continues to be empty state owned land, now just imagine 350 years ago with just a handful of humans how ownership would've been like. This argument that whites stole our land is complete rubbish, blacks are just using a western concept of formal ownership whereby you draw an imaginary line on a map and then claim that you own whatever is on your side of the imaginary line. Whites have colonised us so deeply that we are using their ambiguous concepts to accuse them of stealing something which didn't belong to us.

I don't know of any black South African who will be able to point out the land that was "stolen" all they can do is to refer to South Africa as a whole - a country that was demarcated by white mans imaginary lines. Batswana people occupy the land in Botswana and the North-West province of South Africa bordering Botswana. These are people who speak the same language and share the exact culture, I know that because I am a Motswana myself, but the problem is that white mans imaginary line divided these people into citizens of Botswana and citizens of South Africa. Isn't that a joke?

cap28:
No Jews are classified as white everywhere in the world and therefore are the beneficiaries of white privilege - this means that they can go anywhere in the world and enjoy great privilege and access to employment and career opportunities that you and i can only dream about   - You need to research the history of african americans and find out how  jim crow racist policies prevented them from access to education and decent employment - as a result white americans had a 400 year head start on them just the same way white south africans have a 300 year headstart on you as a result of apartheid.

it doesnt matter how intelligent you are - but if you have been denied the right to develop the necessary tools to make you self sufficient ie employment, education etc your intelligence means nothing.
Yes lets blame whites for our lack of progress. White man spared Ethiopia and they let them be, look at Ethiopia now, who do you think they should blame? The Italians?

I would be appalled if whites prevented African Americans from building their own schools and universities to educate their own people. That didn't happen in SA, blacks had Fort Hare university which was more interested in producing historians and politicians and not interested in producing engineers and scientists. SA Indians had the university of Durban-Westville and they focused on producing scientists and engineers that's why today South Africans Indians are better off than blacks even though they also experienced Apartheid.

cap28:
No you are the dumb fool who knows nothing worthwile and what makes matters worse is that your  low self esteem and complete lack of dignity and self respect has blinded you into thinking that you are actually in an advantageous position.

You are content with the lowly position that has been assigned to you by the very people who brutalised your fore fathers.

All you have is a job working for whites, you are simply one paycheck away from the townships - you are not in control of  your own destiny because the people doing most of the hiring and firing are the same white oppressors - how does that put you at an advantage?

The education you have been brainwashed with teaches you to be grateful to the people who are responsible for enslaving your own parents and grandparents.  Why dont you have a read through that list i posted up there - it was written by honest black south africans not delusional liars like you.  You can see from the list that all of the garbage you have been vomitting on this forum is pure fantasy.
It hurts you that we are progressing while you remain stagnant unable to use your own black initiative, that's because your mind is still owned by whites

cap28:
No YOU ARE THE DELUSIONAL ONE MY FRIEND - I LIVE IN THE REAL WORLD where i see things for what they are.  You on the other hand prefer fantasy island.  Of course i caare about what white people have done because i am living with the after effects of their criminal acts namely institutionalised racism, destruction of the economy of my country by way of the IMF and world bank and the financing and supporting of a corrupt black elite who have destroyed my country.
Whites set up the economy in your country so you shouldn't blame them if they seek to destroy what they built. It goes back to "ownership", you are using white mans concept to claim ownership of something that is not yours.

cap28:
The worst part of it is that europe and america STILL continue to interfere in africa's internal issues  - they continue to fund, arm and prop up criminal african dictators like Paul Kagame of Rwanda, Museveni of uganda, Ouattara of Ivory Coast, Bongo of Gabon  they even armed and funded mass murderer Charles taylor formerly of Liberia.

perhaps you were in a coma throughout NATO's destruction of Libya?

did you also miss the fact that your s.tupid president along with our own fool voted in support of the mass bombing of a sovereign country for no other reason than greed and wickedness.

did  you also miss the fact that NATO also armed and funded a group of racist arabs who massacred thousands of  black africans?
No I was too preoccupied with helping to develop my country. I don't care much what white people are doing, I'm more interested in focusing on what my people are doing to advance our country.

cap28:
These same criminals are currently aiding and abetting our current puppet president Goodluck Jonathan who is implementing structural adjustment policies on behalf of criminal organisations like the IMF and the world bank which have led to mass unemployment and mass poverty in my country, so i think i have a right to be angry.
Shame, now whites are also in control of your emotions
Foreign AffairsRe: South African Blacks - Could It Be Inferiority Complex? by paniki(m): 12:52pm On Dec 21, 2011
@cap28 reading blogs by the white chicken run will not help coz those fools perpetually wish for the collapse of South Africa so their views will forever be biased. The problem with you is that you want black South Africans to hate whites like you do because they still exert great influence in our country. The truth will remain that whites made South Africa a successful country using their knowledge and skills to manipulate land and resources for wealth creation, most of that wealth has and still belongs to them but there have been trickle down wealth benefits for blacks. Blacks got this country running at full speed on the tracks, we took over the country and whites remained behind to insure that the country doesn't go off tracks. No matter who owns what, where and how wont change the fact that white mans development of South Africa now allows black South Africans to live better lives and have better opportunities than most Africans that's why I don't think whites owe us anything

cap28:
Fine, but you still haven't answered my question - who owned the land prior to the arrival of the europeans?

Why did the europeans engage in numerous wars with your people over land?

why were your people herded onto reservations?

You say that today the govt and municipalities own this vacant land - who preceded this current govt that you have ? wasnt it  your former apartheid govt? how did they gain ownership of this land?


Whether there were 3 million or 300 million blacks in your country when whites arrived is irrelevant - the point is that there were indigenous people on this land before them AND SOMEONE FROM THIS GROUP MUST HAVE LAID CLAIM TO THIS LAND - AGAIN I ASK WHY WERE THE EUROPEANS ENGAGED IN WARS WITH YOUR PEOPLE OVER LAND?
who owned the land prior to the arrival of the europeans? No one
Why did the europeans engage in numerous wars with your people over land? To steal some land which has now been given back.
why were your people herded onto reservations? It's actually the Boers who were put in concentration camps by the British
You say that today the govt and municipalities own this vacant land - who preceded this current govt that you have ? wasnt it your former apartheid govt? how did they gain ownership of this land? Yes the white government owned and controlled that land but now that it's in black hands we shouldn't be complaining

"Eighty three million hectares of land in South Africa is privately-owned and the State owns the remainder of the roughly 123 million hectares of land, said the Director General of the Department of Rural Development and Land Reform, Mr Shabane." http://www.parliament.gov.za/live/content.php?Item_ID=1692

cap28:
right, but in order to create wealth you have to have access to the means to create it don't you?

or do you create wealth out of thin air?

can you create wealth if you do not own any land, technology or natural resources?

lets use your country as an example - who owns the majority of the land in your country?

who owns the mining corporations?

who owns the technology which has enabled the creation of the goods and services?
right, but in order to create wealth you have to have access to the means to create it don't you? Yes but those means are intangible means such as knowledge and skills. Black South Africans just like other Africans have lived on top of valuable natural resources for centuries and even millenia but even till today they don't know how to extract that resources. It took white mans knowledge to discover gold and platinum in SA just like it took white mans knowledge to discover oil in Nigeria
or do you create wealth out of thin air? If you have knowledge and skills you can go anywhere in the world and succeed, that's what Jews(25% Nobel laureates) do.They are clever people who push boundaries of academia.
can you create wealth if you do not own any land, technology or natural resources? You can have plenty of land and resources but if you don't have knowledge of how to use that land and resources then it's pointless. Blacks have always had land and resources but they have failed to create wealth. It's not white mans fault that he has knowledge and skills while you don't.
lets use your country as an example - who owns the majority of the land in your country? The government of South Africa owns the majority of the surface land of SA.
who owns the mining corporations? Whites own the mines
who owns the technology which has enabled the creation of the goods and services? Whites own those technologies and since those technologies make life easier for black South Africans compared to other Africans they therefore should not be complaining and wanting payback but rather focus on developing they own technologies while enjoying the benefits of existing technology

cap28:
First of all education or knowledge is not about following and copying everythign the white man rams down your throat - education is about acquiring knowledge which will enable you as a race of people to provide for yourself and your people and survive in a cut throat competitive world. This very important fact has never occurred to you because the whole of your life you have been brought up as a slave in your own country. The white man taught you to look up to him as a God this is why he can do no wrong in your eyes.

It obviously hasnt occurred to your inferior mind that these white owned educational institutions that you glorify and worship were not designed for people like you - they were designed to mould, shape and prepare whites to rule over you - your presence in those places is a complete and utter waste of time because the knowledge you acquire there will not equip you for the life that awaits you on the outside. As a black man in a country owned and controlled by white supremacists you will not have access to the jobs or career opportunities that your white counterparts will have becase the system itself did not have you in mind when it was being created, as a result your so called knowledge and skills will become obsolete and you will end up frustrated and filled with rage because you will find that there is no place for a black man with a white western orientated education in a society run and controlled by white racists.
It is those white institutions that are enabling black South Africans to acquire the necessary knowledge and skills to create success for themselves, that's why I don't like ungrateful South Africans who complain and want pay back while they use whites mans institutions to upgrade themselves - a benefit which was not afforded to other who were colonized. BTW, blacks who graduate from these white institutions end up with enough skills to be the boss of many whites.

cap28:
hahahaha look who is talking about going to school - you need to read a book called the miseducation of the negro by carter woodson - you are a replica of the type of miseducated negro who acquires a eurocentric education which prepares him for a life of vast ignorance, subservience and uselessness. you claim to be educated but you are worse than a stark illiterate - what are you educated to do? i will tell you - you are educated to walk two steps behind baas and bow and genuflect at his feet, do you think he respects you? he just laughs at your pathetic attempt to mimic him, you are nothing more than a well trained pet dog - when baas says jump, you cry - "how high baas" - without baas you are dead. everything you think you have was given to you by baas, you have no independent ideas, no creativity, no self respect - baas manipulates and controls you like a puppet on a string and when he's done with you he will do away with you - why do you think he created the biological weapon HIV aids?
Me and most other black South Africans will continue to progress while you remain a bitter person who is only interested in pointing out past injustices and demands payback because he is clueless about how to create his own success. It's not white mans fault that blacks who are alive today are generally dumb and know nothing worthwhile, the good thing is that South Africa has long identified education as the main instrument to correct past and current imbalances.

cap28:
You poor thing, baas throws you a few scraps and like the slave that you are you scrabble around on the ground fighting for them and then you have the nerve to think you are better than other africans because you are eating baas's leftover food. But to be honest with you your above statement is actually a lie - most africans do not live in segregated townships like black south africans - we dont have townships in nigeria and i know that in places like Botswana blacks enjoy a very high standard of living which is far better than what you claim you are enjoying in south africa. Besides your story about not having power cuts , bad sanitation is another blatant lie - there have been ongoing riots and demonstrations in almost all of your major townships over poor housing conditions, non existent electricity and water supply, high unemployment, poor job prospects - the list goes on so i think you are just trying to console yourself that you guys are better off when the reality is that you are actually worse off than most africans.
You need to come live in South Africa, your misconceptions will evaporate quickly. If I were to list all that government has done and is doing for black South Africans you would be shocked and you would also wonder why ungrateful brats want more. Which country in this world can boast of having so far built over 3 million house for its poor citizens?

cap28:
Your ignorance and limited world view is a dead give away with the above statement - do you seriously think that the black south africans are in a position to hold the whites in your country to account? Hahahahaha - you really are dumb - listen you clown - the white south africans STILL CONTROL YOUR ECONOMY - YOUR BLACK ELITE TAKE ORDERS FROM THE WHITES - NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND.
"the white south africans STILL CONTROL YOUR ECONOMY - YOUR BLACK ELITE TAKE ORDERS FROM THE WHITES - NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND" please start telling me something I don't know

cap28:
hahahaha - what a clown - you really crack me up!!! what are your people enjoying? crumbs? is that your idea of enjoyment- you guy's situation is like the case of a man whose property has been stolen by armed robbers and as the robbers drive past him in his own car with all of his property, they throw him one of his old shirts and he starts jumping up and down and crying with joy that at least he's been allowed to keep one shirt out of all the other more valuable stuff that the robbers were able to make away with!!! you guys are one huge joke!!
At least blacks are using their own initiative to create progress for themselves while you sit back and state that white man is still dominating which is true but the emphasis is on sit back

cap28:
did you pull this information out of your a.rse cos it sounds like you just made it up? any stats to back that up?

when i talk about the HIV aids epidemic in southern africa i dont mean just south africa - i mean botswana, zimbabwe, lesotho, namibia - everywhere that you have large white settlements - no one is denying that hiv aids is present in other parts of africa but there is a reason for such a high concentration of HIV aids in the southern african countries.
And yes, the whites are intent in exterminating africans all over africa including nigeria - ever heard of AFRICOM? this is the beginning of europe and america's plan to plunger the entire continent into chaos.
You are a delusional black person who mind is held indirectly hostage by whites. You care too much about what white people have done, are doing and will do but you have no interest in your own development . You will remain stagnant while white man continues to achieve. I feel sorry for you because a particular race has shifted your focus so that you become obsessed with them which limits you in all other fronts.
TravelRe: Work Opportunities In South Africa by paniki(m): 10:37am On Dec 21, 2011
@Dondav I don't know why you refuse to listen, you just want to cause heartache for yourself. First of all home affairs only grants work permits to people who already have job offers and the company that offers you a job must first prove that it couldn't find a South African who could do the job. Secondly, you will never be able to work 'honestly' to pay for your studies in SA. And thirdly, I've already told you that SA has 25% unemployment so what makes you think that you will arrive in SA and be preferred for a entry level job over the many millions of unemployed South Africans? Anyway, good-luck
Foreign AffairsRe: South African Blacks - Could It Be Inferiority Complex? by paniki(m): 11:33am On Dec 20, 2011
cap28:
So are you saying that the land was handed over voluntarily to the white man? or was it just lying vacant with no one laying claim to it ?
Even today with a population of 50 million(40 million blacks) most of South Africa's land lays unoccupied and the majority of that vacant land is owned by the government and municipalities. South Africans are mostly centred in Cape Town, Gauteng and KZN places which were developed by whites. I doubt that there were even 3 million blacks in this country when whites arrived 300 years ago and supposedly stole the land.

cap28:
well, you will soon find out that every thing in life is a competition - especially where resources are limited.

blacks can't create their own success when they don't have any control over the means of making money - everythign in your country which generates wealth remains in the hands of the whites.
Wealth is created when a person does something which another person is willing to buy. The other person can only buy if he himself has made something which another person is willing to buy. That's the barter system which was long formalised by whites into money, finances and economy. A per capita GDP of $1 000 means that the average single person in a particular country is able to work or produce things by himself which are universally considered to be valued at $1 000.  A per capita GDP of $55 000 means that the average single person in a particular country is able to work or produce things by himself which are universally considered to be valued at $55 000. That's why GDP per capita is a important statistic because it shows how productive the average single person in that country is. It's not about who owns or controls what, it's about what an individual can do which creates value

cap28:
Im glad you said "probably" because wherever the white man goes it is ALWAYS about racial competition - do you know of any nation on this earth where whites live where race is not important? Even in your country where they are the minority they have turned your country upside down by making race the determinant of success, they even went as far as legalising racial discrimination - everywhere they go on this earth they implement this same formula of racial hierarchy where they place themselves at the top and blacks at the bottom of the socio economic ladder.
Those who have scientific knowledge will always be superior. Indians and Chinese are now becoming very scientific and their expanding presence in Africa is beginning to create the same racial tension as it has always been with whites. It's not about whites but more about who "knows". If you went to school and got taught what white people know so that you become scientifically on par with them then you wouldn't be so against them. You just pushing an inferiority complex where you unknowingly realise that white people "know" how to dominate while you remain clueless. So you blame them for being better than you and you accuse them of upgrading themselves using you and your people and at your expense and stealing your old technologies which you yourself don't know how to replicate in modern times.

cap28:
hahaha you are completely brainwashed and delusional - the biggest trick the white man ever played on the black man was to convince him to accept his lowly position in the world, i dont know how you can say what you said above with a straight face - "they owe you nothing"  - you are a joker! look at what they did to your ancestors and you say they owe you nothing, they took your own land away from you and you say they owe you nothing- they passed laws preventing your from going beyond a primary school education, they passed laws preventing you from owning land or property and being able to be self sufficient and you say they owe  you nothing - you are a joker!

they've even convinced you that you are not intellectually up to scratch and without any trace of embarrassment you actually talk about them doing all the "think work" arent you embarrassed to make such a statement?
This type of moaning is also done by a few uneducated black South Africans who have a warped sense of entitlement. You need to go to school and get proper knowledge so that latter on in your work life you can receive regular calls and emails from white people who ask you how something is done or what procedures to follow, that's when you will stop hating them.

cap28:
You say they've put south africa at a higher level compared to other african countries - but at whose expense? who is enjoying the fruits of your labour (because it was your labour that built south africa not theirs)  you or them? can't you see that you have been abused and cheated? yes, they developed the country - but only for themselves - they used your labour to develop the country which has enabled them to live like kings  while the majority black population live in townships wallowing away in poverty.

you are mistaking the few crumbs that they have allowed you to enjoy as wealth - you still depend on them for employment which means you are vulnerable to any changes that they may decide to implement.
Black South Africans live better lives compared to other Africans even though they are equally as poor. The development done by whites, even though it is mostly enjoyed by them, has allowed most blacks to not worry about lights going off, water quality and sanitation issues, mobility on roads rails or air, quality education and all other trickle down benefits which they don't deserve but we claim entitlement since this development is done on "our" land

cap28:
the reason south africa is more developed than other african countries is becasue the white settlers came there with the aim of remaining permanently unlike the other african countries where they came for one purpose alone - to ra.pe, pillage and plunder, they were not interested in settling in any west african country becasue of the hot climate  hence their decision to limit the level of development in those countries.
Another comment that lacks thought. Since whites "ra.pe, pillage and plunder" not only South Africa but the entire continent including Nigeria it's good that our Afrikaans whites stayed behind to be accountable to those blacks who still have chips on their shoulders like JuJu unlike other whites who "ra.pe, pillage and plunder" your countries and then took a hike after being satisfied

cap28:
You better wake up and smell the coffee and realise that south africa was developed for the settlement of whites not blacks.  You need to ask yourself why HIV aids is almost running at epidemic levels in all of the southern african countries that have large settlements of whites - ITS BECAUSE THEY WANT ALL OF YOU DEAD so that you will no longer be in the way of their plans.

HIV aids is a biological weapon which was created by US military intelligence in a laboratory in 1969 and it was initially used by your former apartheid govt to decimate the black population of mainly southern african countries.  Havent you noticed how HIV aids is prevalent in areas of africa with climates which are conducive to europeans?  In addition these areas are also rich in natural resources.
You are showing your madness again. Your fist point is true though, South Africa was developed for the settlement of whites not blacks but now that blacks are enjoying this development they shouldn't be complaining but rather work towards extending the development. THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT WE ARE DOING. We don't want whites to give us what they have, we want to build our own. In the past blacks were forced to go shop at white malls in the white suburbs but today blacks have EXPANDED the development by sticking up lots of malls in just one township called Soweto

Your HIV/Aids argument is just plain ridiculous. There are more people living with HIV/Aids in Nigeria than SA in real numbers, yes the Nigerian percentage is small because of the big population but the real number is higher than SA so does that mean whites also want to exterminate Nigerians?

cap28:
You obviously know nothing about america - america is a segregated country with blacks living a separate and unequal existence from their white counterparts - dont forget blacks in america were only allowed the right to vote in 1968, black people in america live in separate neighbourhoods, attend separate schools and socialise away from white americans.  The system there (just like in  your country) was set up deliberately by the white power structure in order to keep blacks permanently in a position of subservience and that is exactly what your white minority rulers have done to you.
The so called success you brag about is not enjoyed by the majority of blacks in south africa only a few black elites enjoy this so called success.  The system was designed by and for the white racists who still control your economy and they are the ones enjoying the success not the blacks.
You must just accept that people always want to associate themselves with success. As much as America is divided, all of them including African Americans are proud to hold a US passport even Nigerians who land US passport have a tendency of feeling special and bragging about it because they are citizens of a successful nation. If South Africa was not achieving globally recognized success(which is intangible success) then we would be a hopelessly divided nation as I have said. And black South Africans are just like African Americans where we brag about past successes that we had nothing to do with and provided little or no contribution but it is these past successes that are making it easier for us to create successes in the present time. The majority of African Americans have a cordial working relationship with whites and that's how it is in SA. We are not best friends but we've learned to get along when working towards set goals

For someone who can ask me how many white people I've talked to based on a disbelief of what I had written about race relations between whites and blacks in South Africa, I'm not completely sure that you yourself have tried to discuss race relations with South African Whites. Paniki, maximum respect to you if you can continue to shout on top of your voice to deaf ears. Whites don't want to hear the truth! My life also doesn't revolve around Whites. I cannot plead with a White to listen to the truth, when what I say will go in one ear and out the other. I was confrontational when I believed in this notion of a rainbow nation, that every opinion is appreciated. But since I found it not to be true, I don't try anymore because I'm not going to be listened. White people don't listen to anything a black says if it's something they disagree with. I don't care about them anymore, their salvation is in their hands. It's not my duty. But I will NOT self censor myself when people start lying about race relations in South Africa. Especially when they know the truth and want to hide it.
It's oppressed people like you who want to be listen to by whites and when that doesn't happen you then throw tantrums on forums without fighting issues the way real South Africans do it: face-to-face. Anyway, why do you want white people to listen to you? Do you value them that much? You need to grow up and replace your slave mentality with something more of a progressive consciousness. Or move to Joburg where people are more liberated and actually get along. You should never use Cape Town as a barometer for SA, that city is beautiful but cliquey and mega racist(although concealed) arguably the most divided place in South Africa. I spent 2 years at UCT so I know how Cape Town is like, terrible place for a black person even whites who move there find it difficult to deal with the snobs

Also, I don't have to discuss race relations with South African whites because I have no issues with them, they are just people like me and you and I realised that a long time ago.

Haha, you just lost credibility. You allow yourself to be censored in a free country. I would have more respect for you if you openly told white people what you think of them like members of the ANCYL now you blame white people for not allowing you to say what you think. Ag shame, you still oppressed

zolzlolz:
Can you tell me how the 1913 Native Land Act which prohibited Black South Africans from owning 87% of the land, and later, because of Apartheid policy prohibited blacks from living in 87% of South African without a pass is somehow justified? Thank you.
I don't want to give you a history lesson because it will mainly be snippets that will led you to draw incorrect conclusions. What you must research for yourselves is how black chiefs bartered away land the same way they agreed to the bantustans you must also research how most of what is now South African land was uninhabited so it's foolish for blacks to claim that land in many parts of South Africa belongs to them when no black man, except a few Khoisan, has ever set foot(even till today). The Native Land Act didn't take away land it just formalised segregation and it paved the way for the establishment of what later became bantustans demarcated according to where the majority of black people lived. From that Transkei, Bophuthatswana, Venda, Ciskei became independent black states. The Apartheid government gave away huge chunks of South Africa under it's policy of separate development. I can go on but I don't want to confuse you. The problem with many people is that they don't know the full history of South Africa which leads them to draw laughable conclusions

cap28:
If you create wealth using stolen land and stolen labour - surely that wealth you have created is stolen as well?
You don't know enough about South Africa's history if you think that land and labour were stolen or maybe I should say you know half the history and you are using that half knowledge to formulate a full opinion.

cap28:
the idea that black south africans can now somehow be able to compete with white south africans after 300 years of systematic exploitation indicates just how brainwashed , naive or both you are.
The good thing is that black people are not interested in competing with white people but are more focused in creating their own success through whatever legal means they choose.

cap28:
how do black south africans compete with whites who own the major corporations, the banks, the insurance companies, the schools etc - what do you think will be the outcome of such competition?
It has not, is not and probably will not be about racial competition since those major corporations already have significant black shareholdership thanks to BEE

cap28:
white south africans owe black south africans because they have an unfair advantage over them, this unfair advantage was not brought about by their hard work and ingenuity but by their theft of resources that belonged to the blacks as well as the subsequent brutalisation and exploitation of these same people. the white south africans are supposed to pay the blacks reparation for all the misery, poverty and endless suffering that they subjected them to.
This is juvenile thinking. Whites owe us nothing, South Africa is better off because of think-work done by white people, it is their inventiveness that has put South Africa at a higher level compared to other African countries. Black South Africans like me are lucky because the end of Apartheid allowed us to move into and then expand the formal systems that were long established by the whites. We are not like other African countries that had to start-up agencies from scratch, we probably would have failed. We just got the engine in top shape and running, black man just took the drivers seat and white man sat in the passenger seat and taught black man how to run a government and all other institutions. It has not been perfect but we are managing.

I'm one of many black South Africans who don't give a damn what white South Africans do or did or all that jazz, I'm more interested in creating my own success. The thing that I also do, which some don't like, is to acknowledge white mans contribution to South Africa. I grew up in Tembisa township in a matchbox house built by the white government, all of old Soweto, Alex, Katlehong, Vosloorus and others were built by the white government. Yes, blacks like to own these townships and refer fondly to them as if they built them but it's the whites who built most townships in Jozi. Black parents don't have to send their kids abroad because whites built world-class universities in our backyard. Basically if whites owe us anything then they have repaid us by grudgingly allowing us to use first-rate facilities which are now making it easier for us to make something of ourselves

cap28:
and by the way nationhood is not created as a result of different groups engaging in sports together - nationhood is created when a group of people who share a similar culture or language come together to promote a shared interest - black south africans and white south africans do not share similar languages or culture, one group was victimised and abused by the other and the other imposed their language and culture on the other forcing the weaker group to go along with it.  This is why so many blacks in south africa are still filled with anger - their needs have not been met and they are still being short changed by a system which was designed to keep them poor and exploited.
This again shows your simpleton thinking. People want to associate themselves with success, America is seen to be a very successful country that's why so many Americans are proud to be American it has nothing to do with language or culture or any other nonsensical point. South Africans are proud to be South African because this country has achieved many successes recognized to most people around the world including yourselves even though you might not admit. A week or two ago UN delegates were showering SA with praise for successfully hosting the UN climate change talks COP 17 in Durban. It is this sort of feedback that creates a warm fuzzy feeling among South Africans and ultimately a sense of oneness that we are a nation of doers and achievers and not a nation of just black, white, coloured and indian. Race and racial tension exists but it doesn't define us.

My friend, that site report says: "World Top Ten Countries With Highest Reported Crime Rates", not countries with the highest crime rate. The word "reported" means a whole lot, that is the only reason that Nigeria did not come out in first position knowing that even in these mentioned countries, Nigerians are participating and contributing in their crime activities and measurement.
   Beat your own Dog in the UK, and you're on news the same day, but kill a poor man in Nigeria, the Police would not even hear of it:
   For the fact that South Africa covers the majority of its low profile crimes and yet, it come out in 7th position, that means, if every crime is reported there like in the UK, South Africa would come out in second position after Nigeria

Country and Reported Crime Rate
United States   11,877,218
United Kingdom   6,523,706
Germany   6,507,394
France   3,771,850
Russia   2,952,370
Japan   2,853,739
South Africa   2,683,849
Canada   2,516,918
Italy   2,231,550
India   1,764,630
How else can you determine a crime if it is not reported?

What you then suggesting is that South Africans should report 3 823 655 more crimes to just be on par with the UK. You made a foolish statement that SA beats the UK in crime, I then provided you with simple stats and now you trying to defend your unresearched blunder by postulating. The truth is that South Africa has one of the highest murder per capita rates(total murders divide by total population) in the world and it is this unfortunate little statistic that western and also South African media use to paint SA as the worst crime capital. Please read through the article provided to see that the UK is not so rosy.

Job seeking! How hard or easy is this compared to both countries?
I don't know about the UK but in South Africa unskilled and semi-skilled jobs are hard to get because there is a over supply of labour hence the high unemployment. So the chances of you getting a general job in SA will be near impossible unless you know people who know people. There are plenty of skilled jobs though so if you are a engineer, accountant, software developer and so on it shouldn't be that difficult to find work. SA is importing skilled labour from all over the world - Cuban doctors, Zimbabwean teachers, UK/German engineers, Indian IT specialists and so on

cap28:
the only reason white south africans "get along" with blacks in south africa is because the whites are still in control of your economy, their wealth is intact and their status and position in your country is not threatened - the day any black south african comes to power to redress this imbalance is the day that you will have a repeat of what happened in zimbabwe, the whites will get the hell out of the country and europe and america will gang up to destroy south africa. What you have in south africa between whites and blacks is just a case of whites bamboozling some dim blacks into beleiving that you are all one big happy family, why dont you suggest that all of that wealth that those whites stole from you be redistributed in order to compensate blacks for 300 years of exploitation and abuse under apartheid - lets see just how long this your rainbow coalition thingy will last after that.
Firstly, it doesn't matter how you rationalize it to yourself, the truth will remain the truth.

Secondly, white South Africans didn't steal wealth as you claim, they created it themselves. It is only fair if they are allowed to keep the wealth which they created and leave black South Africans to create their own wealth alongside them. That's what BEE is all about, white businesses are not forced to comply with that policy. It's only if they want to do business with the now black led government that they must comply.

Lastly, nationhood in South Africa exists mainly thanks to international events that we have successfully hosted since 1994. These events bring people together to work towards a single goal and when that goal is achieved it creates comradeship, pride and a sense of oneness within many. Had South Africa not hosted any international event since 1994 I'm sure we would be a hopelessly divided nation filled with people who would only identify success within ethnic and geographical boundaries because of the lack of national success.

Stellenbosh right by capetown. Beautiful and peaceful.
Awahid:
As with the vast majority of cities around the world, there are no-go areas in most South African cities, but every single one of them is still a relatively safe place to live in as long as you are vigilant and take the usual precautions. These are five places that I think are some of the safest places to live in South Africa Cape Town, The Garden Route, Port St. John's, Cape St Francis, The West Coast.
Stellenbosch is a white Afrikaans town that could pass as a random mountainous area in Germany or Netherlands
Cape Town and all those other places are also largely populated by white people. What then would be the point of coming to South Africa to live among the whites? Might as well go to Europe.

I suggest Joburg, it's the most diverse city in SA and you will be less likely to be homesick since you will meet many of your Nigerian brothers and sisters. It's unlikely that you will find yourself in informal squatter camp areas like Diepsloot which means that you will escape most of the Johannesburg crime. Most of Joburg's crime just like the rest of SA is social crime as explained in the crime stats report, that's whereby people who now each other are at a house party they have a argument and then kill each other so it's not like you walk in the street and some random criminal shoots you

I actually only just read the comments now; it is sad how divided Africans still are. It is these divisions that made Africa such an easy place for Europeans to colonize.
I don't see anything wrong with competition. Besides I've come to realise that people(all people) are pretenders and it's internet portals like forums that allow people to expose their true but radical selves. So hate on a forum does not translate to hate on the ground in everyday life. If you read comments on various forums and news sites in SA(especially news24) you would think that black people and white people hate each other coz every little thing gets turned into "black this", "white this". But the truth is that black people and white people generally get along well. I consider that to be just competition, black people now consider themselves equal to and some superior to whites and now they challenge them anonymously on forums and message boards and it becomes a harmless racial fight.

I remember two or three months ago when Julius Malema attended his friends wedding in Mauritius. Juju's friend became a hot topic, black people were bragging that a black man is blowing millions on a wedding while white people were accusing him of benefiting from government contracts and it became one of those never-ending racial debates. But that does not mean that we're a divided country

Decypha:
Wow, I am disappointed and I apologise profusely for the the response from other South Africans concerning this topic. It is a hot-bed and emotional topic but let me try to offer my (hopefully) unbiased views concerning the 2008 incident.

Firstly, I should point out that the attacks were done by a minority of black South Africans; most black South Africans were shocked and ashamed by the events that took place in 2008. That is, most of us did not support the actions that took place in South Africa in 2008.

Honestly the tension was bubbling under though; most of us didn't expect it to explode like it did. And it is partly because of both the reasons you listed.

One thing I do take some offence to is this hint, from your post, that there are no black South Africans making use of the opportunities abound in the country. I suppose perhaps from your viewpoint you don't see it happening much but from where I am, in South Africa, I see far more South African black people making something of their opportunities than black people from other countries.

It is a work-in-progress though, unlike Nigeria, we have only had 20 years to wrap our heads around the freedom of and it is an impatient and fearful South African mind that lashed out at "foreign" Africans. Many people had expectations that once Apartheid ends their problems end as well but they hadn't expected that they would need to proactively pursue change. For them, instead, what happened is they saw an influx of foreigners that looked like they were taking all their opportunities while they sat around waiting for opportunities to come to them.

If you look at the attacks, they only happened in poor black areas in South Africa because those black people, in particular, are the ones who are most fearful. I apologise to everybody on behalf of my countrymen for the violence. I hope this isn't posted too late and that most people will chance upon it and understand that most South Africans were against the violence.
Why should people not make an effort to defend themselves and their country?

Anyway, I think that trying to explain the xenophobic violence and killings is a waste of time because people have long made up their minds based on what they saw on the media and what they heard from third parties. What they saw and heard is largely true but what they didn't see and didn't hear is also true. It's then up to the person to weigh up the two and reach whatever conclusion that suits them.

This is the same as how a few Nigerians commit different kinds of crimes in many countries all over the world and this leads to many people taking on a negative view of Nigeria and also having general animosity towards all Nigerians. Legit and upstanding Nigerians will make serious effort to prove that these are just a few unscrupulous rejects who form a minority of their society but that will seldom change a deeply held opinion of somebody who always sees stories of Nigerians being arrested for various crimes or Nigerians living good lives but appear not to be "working". In his mind all Nigerians are synonymous with what he sees and hears of them but most times what he sees is just half the picture.

Even though I think it's a waste of time to educate someone who already has strong believes contrary to your education it might help to create better understanding for those who are a little more open-minded

From your numbers it means that "non-whites" make up 15% of the UK population and whites make up the balance of 85%. With that it means that whites should theoretically be responsible for 85% of crimes since they make up 85% of the population and "non-whites" should account for 15% of the crimes. So if it's true as you stated that "80% of sex offenders in uk are white english and eastern european" then it means that the remaining 20% is committed by "non-whites"

Conclusion: 15% of the "non-white" UK population commits 20% of sex offences which makes them disproportionately higher than their white counterparts
