How Not to Be a Sh!thole Country: Lessons from South Africa by Joel Pollock (Breitbart editor)[Amazon] The U.S is on the threshold of radical political change, following months of unrest. Incoming President Joe Biden pledges to "transform" America and "rip the roots of systemic racism out of this country."

In both countries, a utopian left-wing movement has decided that formal, legal equality is insufficient, and that the constitution is an obstacle to progress. Before the U.S. embarks on a dangerous political journey, it should consider the lessons -- both positive and negative -- of South Africa's experience.
