Poor Whites - South Africa

Back


June 2006
Since the end of apartheid, thousands of white South Africans have been forced into poverty. They blame the government's positive discrimination policies, which favour black employees.

Twelve years ago, Afrikaners like Betsie Dreyer lived a privileged and cocooned life. Now, many are dependent on charity handouts. "We are fighting all the time to survive." The government is determined to see the workforce appropriately reflect the population. It gives black people priority in employment, sets 'black quotas' for businesses and favours companies owned by black people. But critics accuse the government of neglecting its responsibility to white citizens. As union rep Kallie Kriel states: "It's ironic that a government that fought racial laws is now doing exactly the same thing."

I feel no sympathy for the civil servants in the video. And she says 'she didn't know much about racism'. Bull shit.
The irony in this video is shocking.

bullshit, they could overthrow him, looks like they are putting up a mean fight against the so-called strongest military in the world, they could have did his army the same, and you say he was a threat to the US? What? when did he attack the US? when has he ever mentioned attacking the US? and what would these weapons you speak of be? where are they now? they never found any WMDs, BTW wasn't he the US's friend when he was attacking Iran? LOL white people are sick, you really believe the bullshit

Let me ask you something. If the police gave a known drug dealer several months warning that they were going to raid their crack house, do you think that they will have any drugs when the police got there? Not if they were smart. Point and case. You say we are sick? You are going to sit there and say that they would rather have Saddam as their leader than have a democratic government. Just like the rest of your Afrocentic views. You can believe that if it makes you feel better.

You can say what you want. We still built the modern world. Hospitals,schools,harbors,railways. The list goes on and on. There is nothing you can say to take that away from us. Nothing. African blacks themselves have said that Zimbabwe and South Africa both were better off under white rule. They said that they at least had jobs and could support their families. It all goes back to this . Afrocentric blacks will never take resposibility for their own failures. What else is there to say?

It will always be our fault because they are not mature enough to say I screwed up, so let's move forward and make something of ourselves. No, its white people owe us. Give me,give me,give me. This stuff about Africa not having their own reasources is bullshit. Every country in Africa is in black hands now. It is their own governments that are ruining their own nations. But go ahead and blame the whites. I guess I would to if I was black. Its either that or admit that their just dumb.

black hands you say? now suppose these black hands reach out and take back whats rightfully theirs, I wonder which white nation would be in Africa trying to find "weapons of mass destruction" yet only once has the world police america ever went to Africa to help Africans and around 20 soldiers got killed and they pulled out never to return, as I said your hand picked rulers are not for the people they are in white nations best interest
