#2 Notice that Kofi never mentioned how things were better during the old European colonial period.

#3 And there is the 2000 white farmers who have been slaughtered since liberation. On the bright side, white emigrants are real assets to America. I have yet to meet one who was not a success.

#4 I like the idea of keeping their statistics quite. The worse things appear over there the more money our new congress will want to send them.

#5 Procopius - Are you talking about all the way back to the colonial period under the Brits, or the apartheid period after independence? There's a pretty good argument to be made that things are bad now and were bad in a different way under apartheid.

The damage to SA society done by generations of white supremacist government were never going to be fixed by a simple change at the top. Whether SA will ever become a functional country under majority is an open question (it clearly isn't now), but ending apartheid seems like a necessary first step.
