DeepSight:Racial animosities and xenophobia where poor leadership heaps blames on the past and foreigners taking their jobs. As an example. With one of the world's largest coal , uranium reserves and permanent rivers, they should be exporting power massively to its neighbours but instead face power outages since 2007. Compare to Ethiopia in terms of power generation. |

basilico:There are problems yes. But i sense you here trying to excuse the country's inequitable past from its present difficulties. If thats what you asre trying to do, enjoy. |

DeepSight:It's not the only country that has had a terrible past.There are other countries that woke up and moved on. Poor and corrupt leadership will siphon the country's coffers then blame the past. |

bayelsaowei:The America system doesnt seem to be different from the Nigerian one. Trump tested it and he has gotten away with it. Nixon must be sad and rolling in his Grave. That the things he could not get away with, Trump has done worst and gotten away with it. That he should have called the bluff of everybody instead of resigning. |

basilico:"Woke up and moved on" Maybe you think 1994 was two centuries ago. In the life of a nation, it is literally one hour ago. |

DeepSight:I'm an electrical engineer and by looking at power production trends you can tell what direction a country is moving in. In 1990, the installed capacity was 40,000 MW, reflecting the energy landscape just after the end of apartheid. By 2000, it had increased to 46,253 MW, showing growth as the country developed. The capacity reached 54,700 MW by 2010, indicating a significant investment in energy infrastructure. The capacity reached 54,700 MW by 2010, indicating a significant investment in energy infrastructure. In 2020, the installed capacity was approximately 51,600 MW, which reflects challenges in maintaining growth due to various factors, including load shedding. Between 2010 and 2020,SA installed capacity went down. |

basilico:Good for you and your electric engineering. If you believe that a nation can snap out of the ripple effects of apartheid within 30 years, you are not an engineer. Such a belief will make your real profession comedy. |

Kristi Noem’s department of homeland security took the TikTok video of a real live young black boy and AI edited it to fit a narrative of black boys being violent. Claiming they’re threatening ICE agents. They endangered black boys lives, were caught in this lie and have not apologized. I have a question for the resident coons on here. You’re supporting a party that riling up white supremacist to go after black kids. If your child gets killed as a result of this, is that a price you’d consider fair? Are your children’s lives worth your dream of a white nationalist America?

RodgersAkpafu:Immigrants are good for the nation I never refute. It's the lies the elites come up to promote mass immigration. What's the point of allowing immigrants who are welfare dependent. Europe as a whole has not been growing that much economically despite the massive immigration. The elite bring in hordes to boost their voting base Unfortunately many of them have other ideas. Some see it as a way of extracting the last penny from their host infidel nations and have no desire to be anything useful to the society. If you look to ME nations they have more foreigners than their own citizens ,, a permanent feature but the foreigners are just that. They don't participate in elections ( non existent) . Countries that have had double digit growths in the East don't have immigrants, so one can't use immigrants as a vital cog to economic development. |

kentebemoney:Fact is, they can't. And neither can caucasians in US and Europe chase non-caucasians out. In fact, they are all doing the opposite, including Japan and China, and are inviting Africans to their countries because they need you to replace their aging populations. |

cococandy:I have the feeling racial tension is being saved for the second half of dump's current term, and by it's third quatre racism will become a huge thing. I hope I'm wrong. |

budaatum:Maybe. But I wouldn’t be surprised that if they could cause as much racial division as they can right now, they will go for it. At least they’ve been trying. Black people have been ignoring them. They can’t get the rise they’re looking for out of us.

happney65: ..Trump examined the american system and found out that it is filled with flaws..its the reason why someone like him shouldn't have been elected as president in the first place. TRUMP is a grifter..he thrives on loopholes and Facilitations.. He just got his pass to immunity for all his past and present sins.. ![]() |

IbeOkehie:So. In your opinion, the money Black Africans earned from slavery is "lots" compared to the money earned by the slavers they worked for for generations and who bred them for more profit? Sorry IbeOkehie, but I think you need to go purchase a book on the topic and better inform yourself. A machine is affected by depreciation over time, but imagine that machine could have babies every year that can replace it or be sold. The below is a recommendation.

Basilico, I give you the words of MLK. If you cant see the co-relation with Apartheid SA, well, I cant help you then. "Now there's another myth that I want to mention, because if we are going to have action programs that will prod the forces in power so that they will make the necessary concessions, we are going to have to understand why the forces in power need to be prodded. Now this leads me to say that we've got to get rid of the myth of over-exaggerating the bootstrap philosophy. By that I simply mean this: Over and over again we hear that the Negro should lift himself by his own bootstraps. Then there are those who say over and over again, "Other ethnic groups did it; why don't you?" Now it doesn't help the Negro for unfeeling and insensitive people to say to him that he's been in this country more than 348 years and was brought here in chains, involuntarily, and yet people who have been here, other ethnic groups who have been here for a hundred or a hundred and fifty years have gotten ahead of him. That doesn't help him at all. That only deepens his problem, his frustration, and almost his self- hatred. For the people who are that insensitive never stop to recognize the fact that no other ethnic group has been a slave on American soil. They never stop to recognize the fact that the nation made the Negro's color a stigma. It became something evil. You know even linguistics or semantics conspired against us on this. If you open Roget's Thesaurus, you'll find 120 synonyms for black. They are all degrading; smutty, dirty, lowly, every one of them. Now when you look for the 130 synonyms in that thesaurus for white, all of them [are] chaste, pure, everything elevated, and high and noble. So the society through its language structure came to the point of saying that a white lie is better than a black lie. If someone goes wrong in the family, you don't call them a white sheep, it's the black sheep of the family. If you know something about somebody, and you use that as a basis to bribe them and say that if you don't give them this amount of money that you are going to expose them you don't call that whitemail you call it blackmail. Go right down the language structure, and you see that everything conspired to make the Negro think that there was something wrong with him because of his color. The other thing is that no ethnic group has lifted itself by its own bootstraps. The Negro was freed from the bondage of physical slavery through the Emancipation Proclamation in 1863, but he wasn't given any land to make that freedom meaningful. It was something like keeping a man in jail for many, many years, and then suddenly discovering that he is not guilty of the crime for which he was convicted. Then you go to the man and say, "Now you're free," but you don't give him any bus fare to get to town. You don't give him any money to get clothes to put on his back or to get on his feet in life again. Every system of justice or code of jurisprudence would rise up against this, and yet this is exactly what America did to the black man. It freed him from slavery and then left him there penniless, illiterate. He didn't have a thing, and there was no land provided. The important thing that America must realize is this: That at the same time that she refused to give the black man anything, she was giving away millions of acres of land in the West and the Midwest through an act of Congress. Not only did she give the land, she built land grant colleges to teach them to farm. She provided county agents to help them and to get them expert, to give them expertise in farming. But not only that, the nation provided low interest rates in later years so that they could mechanize their farms. Not only that, many of these persons are being paid today not to farm, and these are many of the persons who are telling the Negro that he should lift himself by his own bootstraps. A wonderful thing. I guess that it is all right to tell a man to lift himself by his own bootstraps, but it is a cruel jest to say to a bootless man that he ought to lift himself by his own bootstraps. Through centuries of denial, centuries of neglect, and centuries of injustice many, many Negroes have been left bootless. This does not mean that we do nothing for ourselves. It does not mean that we should not amass our economic and political resources to reach our legitimate goals. It simply means recognizing, the nation recognizing, that it owes a great debt on the basis of the injustices of the past.". cc: tctrills. |
