According to them in the sixties even though he will pretend that the nineties are not after the sixties.

Also he will insist that things were better for blacks in those sixties than even today when there is supposedly no systemic racism at all.
LoLz. I dunno how people tie themselves into illogical mental pretzels to defend nonsense.

Lol......
1. apartheid lasted 42 years (1948 to 1990) far longer than the 30 years that you expect free blacks to do miracles.

2. The effects of apartheid are still felt today. Just imagine the fact that whites own 72% of individually owned farmland.

3. Even the world bank points out the income disparity amongst racial lines. This is a legacy of segregation.


As usual, you expect blacks to excell in hardship and never blame whites for their enjoyment of blood money.
I don't know what to say to them. They literally expect black people to succeed in a vacuum, by that I mean, as though they exist in a state where nothing affects their present tense from the past. As though they were just dropped from heaven in 1994 without any baggage, without any massive economic and social disadvantage and bias, without any educational, housing bias and expected to succeed immediately even when it took centuries for those they compare them with to achieve what they did.

In the life of a nation thirty years is tiny. Even Nigeria which we condemn so much has had 66 years and that is still tiny in relative terms. Every nation MUST fight its internal contradictions and even itself out psychologically to assert a sense of peaceful identity before it can meaningfully develop. This is a process that took European nations many centuries. In Africa with the forced unity and divisions bestowed by colonialism we are expected to magically arrive at that place of peaceful and patriotic identity overnight and copy and paste the progress which took the west centuries of blood and rage.

Of course human societies don't work that way, they are not a sheet of paper which can be photocopied, they are living, energetic things with a psychology, with emotions, with biases, with needs of every kind and even with insecurities and weaknesses of course. And when we state the obvious that such requires time to mature, we are badly misquoted by someone like TV01 as saying that it will take forever, and saying that blacks cannot develop of their own or make an effort or be responsible.

Overall what is most telling in this matter is that consistently, they make excuses for the worst atrocities of white people and jump down on even the most basic and normal facts concerning black people.

It is sheer madness not to know that a traumatized society like black South Africa would require serious time to even out its contradictions and assert itself into growth and development at an even pace.

What sane adult will claim not to know that?

I'd consider this as a form of reparations.
Once university staffers get to decide who enrols as a result of their racially acquired Ivy league certificates ,it will take momentous efforts to get rid of the practice.

Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division has completed a year-long investigation into the admissions policies and practices at the Yale School of Medicine.

Yale’s documents show that its leadership intentionally selected applicants based on their race. Yale’s documents reveal that they studied how to use racial proxies to circumvent the Supreme Court’s prohibition on using race to select students. Yale’s admissions data demonstrate that Black and Hispanic students have a much higher chance of admission to Yale than White or Asian students with the same test scores.

“Yale has continued its race-based admissions program despite the Supreme Court and the public’s clear mandate for reform.” said Assistant Attorney General Harmeet K. Dhillon of the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division

Korea didn't take 30 years to radically develop their country.

Apples for apples. Korea didn't have a majority society broken by apartheid. It is literally a small homogenous place

And even then, what about North Korea?

The way people make comparisons are just shocking. Every day I see people use Singapore as an example against Nigeria for example. Singapore is literally one city. Nigeria is a nation cobbled together from over three hundred distinct ethnic groups of very disparate world views.

Re: American Politics Thread: Trump Is The 47th President! by basilico: 6:50am On May 15
I may be wrong .
Democrats want to ban marriages in total before 18.
We know a lot of teens get children before 18. What happens in such cases. Democrats provide them with abortion options , govt funded abortions.
I may mention religious cultures that betroth their children when young.
Strictly what would encourage paedophilia. Abortions or bans in under 18 marriages.
There are those who insist on their 17 year olds who are already sexually active to get married instead of aborting. Many democrats and republican children are sexually active by 18 , especially those with absentee parents.

Personally I would never let my children get married before at least 20 years. I have said it , reluctantly I would raise any child they bring home, Let's face it , .It's a problem no parent wants to face at all .
I think it's a stretch calling those who voted no paedophiles.

North Korea trajectory is unlike any other country in modern history The founder is a deity,his son is a deity and the present grandson one is the holy priest.

A contradiction. If a homogeneous society is more likely to develop than one which is not. Why then do you support immigration?

The Uber wealthy in the society ,this is my theory. All get their wealth from the poor downtrodden in the society. Manufactured goods are consumed by the majority of the population. You can extrapolate this to luxury goods. Make money selling Lamborghinis ,your buyers sell indomie, rice ,sugar and toothpaste.

If the white South Africa produce everything, majority of their customers are the black . That's the area govt needs to look at. The mass population is the economic driver.
South Africans have a higher income per Capita than the rest of Africa, they found systems and structures in place . Are they destroying these systems. For example the judiciary.
There is absolutely no reason black owned businesses and should not be doing well.
A penny for your thoughts.

Since you said "a penny for your thoughts" I will seize upon this to propose a treaty with you. A treaty of sober peace and reason. Are you open to such a treaty? If so, then we should make efforts to eschew extremist positions and reason as lucidly and objectively as possible, with the openness and humility of mind to concede to superior argument and that which we do not know, and the willingness to change views and adapt. Is this something you can see yourself doing? If it is, then let us begin to reason together under such a treaty. If you are game, I will propose further terms of such a treaty.

Look, anyone who says 30 years is enough to make black South Africa Great and powerful after so many years of bondage may not be honest.
But we are only asking if black South Africa is on the right path.
We are asking about the choices they have made as a people these 30 years of freedom.
30 years is long enough to look back and ask questions.

How come youth unemployment has doubled instead of reduced? How come crime is exploding? How come the economy under the control of blacks is failing everyone?

30 years may not be enough to build the greatest nation on earth but what foundation are they building so far?

There will always be something nauseating about people who -

1. Are immigrants but anti-immigration. You climb a wall and wish to stop others of your kind from doing same.

2. Hypocritically try to make themselves "white"

3. Repeatedly insult their homeland to score points in the minds of an establishment they are sucking up to.
