[QUOTE]Originally posted by the lioness,: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Doug M: [QB] Some more on this from current events: White folks are not scared to speak against Africans (seeing how Africans have done nothing to remove them from power, I guess they feel perfectly safe among their slaves): [/QUOTE] [QUOTE]Johannesburg — South Africa has demanded an explanation from Zambia on remarks its vice-president Guy Scott reportedly made about President Jacob Zuma and others. "We shall be summoning the high commissioner of Zambia ... to seek an explanation behind the remarks and what it means in the context of our bilateral relations," international relations spokesman Clayson Monyela said on Thursday. "South Africa has taken note of the negative remarks about South Africa... In view of this development, the SA government has decided to take the matter up through the appropriate diplomatic channels." The report that irked South African officials was written by The Guardian's correspondent in Lusaka. It initially appeared on the publication's UK website on Wednesday, and was issued by the Mail & Guardian in South Africa on its website on Thursday. Scott told The Guardian newspaper in the UK Zuma was like former apartheid leader FW de Klerk, and that South Africans were "backward". Said Scott: "He's [Zuma] very like De Klerk. He tells us: 'you just leave Zimbabwe to me.' Excuse me, who the hell liberated you anyway, was it not us? I mean, I quite like him, he seems a rather genial character but I pity him his advisers." Scott went on to speak about South Africans, and black citizens. "The South Africans are very backward in terms of historical development ... I hate South Africans ... they really think they're the bees' knees and actually they've been the cause of so much trouble in this part of the world," Scott told the newspaper. "I have a suspicion the blacks model themselves on the whites now that they're in power." He said he disliked South Africa because it was too big and "unsubtle". Scott noted that South Africa had more than 80 tribes and several major language groups.[/QUOTE]I don't see how Doug's remark makes sense. He says Africans have done nothing to remove white people from power and then has an article up about South Africa. South Africans removed the white minority government. Dougs cup is always half empty. That's not to say the wealth distribution has been resolved there and they haven't kicked out all the white companies but you can't say Africans have done nothing. There are numerous African states which have acquired independance from colonial rule. The video he has up ,as expected, the poorest part of South Africa which has been overlooked and this is a bad thing, yet the man interviewed does say that significant progress has been made in bringing electricity to the nation. There were no slums before colonial rule? That also has to do with modernization. Before modernization people were subsistence farmers with no access to electricity, modern medicine, plumbing systems, etc We might have romantic notions of being farmers all day long -while sitting at a computer writing stuff in forums [/QB][/QUOTE]
