Poor Whites - South Africa
Uploaded by: journeymanpictures
Video Description:
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."

Apartheid was WRONG and not all white people supported it, just like few black people in Zimbabwe now support Mugabe, yet he is president.
Racism OF ANY KIND is WRONG. Rather campaign for equality and democracy. Affirmative action is a step backwards in SA history.

You can't say that the thing happened and now everybody should treat whites well after what they have done to others for thousands of years. This is just the beginning.
If whites are nice then others will be nice, too.
The original inhabitants, Aboriginal people and Torres Strait Islander people, were dispossessed of their land and were discriminated against by the first British and European settlers.
White Australians were much more vicious than White South africans, they nearly wiped out the entire Aboriginal population.
So are you packing your bags to return to Britian or Europe? if not, please stop your double standards.
How do you know I'm white? Have you been to Aust? Aust is a multicultural country.
Arguing here helps none as the white South Africans are still hungry, etc. Write a formal letter to the UN if you wish.
i doubt writing a letter to the UN will help , but perhaps showing you revenge is uncalled for, might just make the world a slightly better place.
Some international attention on those statistics would help I think, I'm not sure? i think the first step individuals should take, is to stop the violence within ourselves, and strenghten each other. If we look out for each other we are stronger together as a nation. The murders will eventually kill each other, I can only hope.
I see a lot of fat afrikaaners there.
If Europeans dont give a shit, why do they send billions of pounds, euros and dollars to feed, medicate and clothe africans on a daily fuckin basis

minority youth represented 62 percent of youth in detention, 67 percent of
youth committed to public facilities, and 55 percent of youth committed to
private facilities, according to a report released by Building Blocks for
Youth, entitled "The Color of Justice."
