  • Hmmm I'm Mexican, I wonder what my chances are in SA, or what category would I fall on? Maybe there's an "other" box?.... I hope I get to visit SA someday :)

  • @mikeohohoh7 && yes you did built it to what it is today..but at what cost to the Blacks? apartheid, Sharpeville massacre? funny thing about that is how you came to their land and performed such cruel acts? yeap thats def something to be proud of

  • @mikeohohoh7 What do you mean by my kind? you mean a BLACK SA?that nasty white attitude is the reason YOUR kind are being thrown out&how does it feel being on the other side now?let me tell you something this is all a smart tactic to kick you out so Africa can finally be just for africans&&AIDS? sweetheart aids is for ppl with no morals...i have god, therefore stop being a keyboard warrior, get off ur lazy bum and get a job....oh wait whites cant find a job in SA if they are not B.L.A.C.K:)

  • Good point of view. The future is all about working together. Good on you.

  • Im a South African born woman from a Jewish father / Portuguese mother and raised on a farm but after watching this video im rather please that someone is sharing / showing what has really taken place and currently happening to the country, however would i ever return to my birth place, honestly, NO as i would rather live in RSA should investment in the people, homes, health and more issues be seen as priority, especially the economy then i may find happiness in returning home. I want this guy.

  • everyone knows South Africa is screwed up today. I don't think a lot of people think South Africa is a great place today. I know I don't want to visit it, and I only know one person who did. Basically, he just sat in an Indian community, that may have been walled off.

  • Effing prick how the fuck can u discover something when it already has inhabitants?!.....Africa is for Africans and how can u say slavery is all right??!! You deserve to be kicked out of S.A its called payback....do u knw wat the whites did to the South Africans?! Go back to where ever u are from #Africa is for Africans .... Shit Effing ignorant pricks

  • @schoolsucksyes are you even south african? dont talk about something you dont even know.

  • @mikeohohoh7 fuck yea i am! before the dutch or the brits came who lived in S.A..OR africa in general?..go on i'll wait...IT WAS THE BLACKS---AFRICANS...so dont pull that "ohh we discovered south africa blah blah blah"...Columbus didnt discover America..u knw y?..because the native americans already lived there..so dont come at me with that BullShit k....

  • @schoolsucksyes We may not have discovered Africa but whites certainly developed it into what it is now. When my family lived in Durban in the early 90s it was one of the safest places ever to exist in Africa. In a matter of two years you blacks have managed to destroy an entire country which took 100's of years to create. Your kind is not welcome here. And BTW, you talk like child. Thank god AIDS will be the end of u.

  • Hi, my father is from Durban and grew up in Cape Town. I currently live in London however have been head hunted for a job working for a company as a sales executive. Now I would love to move to South Africa for two years for this position but my father an a few of my close SA friends who have moved over here have warned me that as a single white female it is not safe to move there alone as my family and friends are in Durban and I am not wise to the city of cape town. Also they have expressed t

  • SUCK MY COCK

  • We do everyone hate the British? :(

    You have reason for hating them back then BUT there not that way now. :(

  • If this is true its real discrimination, and it needs to be dealt with.

  • @MsNyari The western province, Freestate and Transvaal were deserted.

  • In Malaysia, the government (mostly Muslim) introduced affirmative action for the majority Malay Muslims population because historically, the Chinese were dominating the economy and the Indians were dominating the legal and educational sectors. Espicially in the education sector, the Malays were given more scholarship than the other groups. But the malay scholarship holders went to Egypt to study religion. When they come back such knowledge were not so useful in the accounting business, law etc

  • actually the portuguese discovered south africa before the dutch, and australia too and new zealand too in 1522

  • He was born there he is a african.

  • It has always surprised me that the Whites, Zulu's, Coloureds, + all the other minority tribes and ethnic groups, dont form a united party opposing the Racist ANC

    The ANC is really just a party for Xhosa domination over all the other ethic groups in south africa, non of those groups benefit from ANC rule, Whites should build a party that would enfranchise all the groups/races in south africa, White security and non-discrimination, will require us to form an alliance to oust the ANC from power.

  • @Roguefox2006 Xhosa domination? Jacob Zuma is Zulu.

  • portugal discovered south africa not the dutch just to let you know

  • South Africa has three capitals, Pretoria (about 45 km from Johannesburg) administrative, Cape Town - Legislative, and Bloemfontein - Judicial.

  • I Really wish you would get your facts RIGHT, before sharing videos like this across the world, where ppl that dont know any better will take u at face value. I'm a white south African, now living in the UK, and left because of the violence, however most of what u say is kinda correct, the finer details you should brush up on first, before making incorrect statements.

  • Come to south africa we are all arrogant bastards

  • Im of South Africa - i'm white - and this guy is talking so much shit! He talks with the same fervor and nationalistic bigotry characterized by the previous government. The truth is - he thinks he's right - because what he was taught he believes is right ... he'll never admit it - but he is a racist - period. This particular kind of rhetoric is prevalent throughout his home town - Port Elizabeth. Unfortunately - the majority of replies are laced in the same hate and bigotry. Me = W M RSA JHB

  • I'm a white dude from America who is planning on moving to South Africa. Is everyone gonna hate me right off the bat for being a white male american?

  • @IAmTheNietzsche well you need to learn some of the local african customs and more importantly learn to speak a language indigenous to south africans Xhosa or Zulu's fine.This is a good advice and it comes from a good place.You can only understand people if you make the effort to learn their language and their culture.I learned to speak enough swahili to get by in Kenya and I swear even though I made mistakes most people treated me very well.

  • @cannoir I've been making progress with Afrikaans, should I switch to Zulu or Xhosa? and thanks for the advice man.

  • well there are more Zulu speaker than Afrikaans.The other advantage is that with Zulu you can pick up a bit of xhosa in the way as both language are interelated through a Nguni and a Khoikhoi link.The locals are generally impressed when you manage to string up a handful a coherent sentences in zulu.If you learn Afrikaans you are basically learning an africanised Dutcha language a minority speak.I don't think could get on with ppl in germany if I opted to speak Turkish.which is spoken by 7 mio

  • @cannoir Lol Zulu and Xhosa it is. Thanks again.

  • @makheyi hahaha funny story, so black people started the racism then?

  • Apartheid happened and is past all should forgive and SHUT UP... there is no reason the new generation should "Punish" or be "Punished" for something they didn't even witness never mind do.

    This entails the government "Punishing" students by putting the university entry standards as follows:

    Black Women

    Black Men

    White Women

    White Men

    This is a true fact and it is very immature for the government.

    Tsk tsk tsk.

  • You better watch your back in Joberg. You will probably be stabbed or shot by a black dude.

  • I usually like Rendier's videos but this one was rubbish, filled with incorrect facts.

  • Both the dutch and British were invaders. To be "fair" shouldn't the blacks have the right to treat whites like animals for several centuries? Personally I think the whites (both Dutch and British) should be grateful to not have been massacred after all their abuses.

    As for the British abandoning slavery, it never happened. They just shifted from buying black slaves to enslaving their own people economically.

  • seth efreeka brew

  • This man can teach me anything. ANYTHING. I would hang on to his every word!

  • EVERYONE SHOULD REALIZE THAT apartheid AND THE NAZIS AND A BUNCH OF OTHER NATIONS GOT THEIR IDEAS OFF THE AMERICAN INDIAN POLICIES

  • Positive video huh? You are such a negative person all the time. Get a woman fag

  • @06film06 FFS look down and read my never ending corrections and stop complaining about a fucking technicality

  • 1) The Dutch invented slavery..?

    ye we invented slavery !! (schelden doen we maar in het duits)  Du Schweinehund

    youre an **

    ancient greece, the Romans, Arabia, etc

    Slavery has existed in many cultures.

  • @insuna "Slavery has existed in many cultures."

    Sadly, it's a major flaw the so called 'human' posses.

  • @religonisalie Indeed, the first major power to use slavery, was the Assyrians.

  • I know this video has an important message to deliver, but I like his accent. =P

  • As a British person, I believe what britain did to South Africa was WRONG. Actually I really admire the South African achievments. The reason South africa battered the British when they were outnumbered is because their weapons were more advanced; south africa invented the rifling spiral inside the gun barrel which made bullets travel farther and be far more accurate.

  • Correction 2:

    SA population being 60% Black, 30-40% White is patently false!

    Ethnic group ratios in SA are actually:

    79.4% Black

    9.2% White

    8.8% Coloured

    2.6% Asian

  • Corrections:

    Capital of SA is Pretoria, not Johannesburg

    Portuguese were the first (Europeans) to discover South Africa, not Dutch (Bartholomeu Diaz)

    In 1886 an Australian prospector discovered gold in SA (in the Witwatersrand), not the Dutch/Afrikaners

    For an accurate history of SA read wikipedia's History_of_South_Africa

  • @BlueEyesSA1 Corrections:

    Capital of SA ARE Cape Town, Pretoria and Bloemfontein.

    Bantu were the first to discover South Africa, not the Portuguese.

    For an accurate history of SA do NOT read wikipedia. Even people with your brains can write stories there.

  • White people settled there and made it rich...by using black people for cheap labor. It may be the richest country in Africa, however, to some, the standard of living of people in a country represents how well a country is doing in terms of moving towards the status of a world class developed economy. 

  • Cape town is the capital don't get it twisted that idiot presidents we have now are trying to make jhb the capital just cos mist of the movies and crap are made in jhb does not make it the capital

  • Wearing a hat inside I see, you are most definitely african. LOLOLOOLOL jk..crackers do that too.

  • Comment removed

  • @monica24b yes but they did it for the better of the country and its recources

  • It's true, when I showed my friend pictures of cities in South Africa, he was shocked, and thought Africa had no modern cities at all. Sad how ignorant some people are.

  • hahahaha i like the way he say WE yet when he is blamed for what WE (him and his people did) he get angry, sin of our fathers, was a video he did, saying how young whites should not be blamed for what happened, dude is confused, but still i like him, he is an angry man and it makes me happy to see him take his frustration here on youtube, atleast this is the only place he gets to raise his points????? DUH

  • HEY THERE... R3NDI3R...WANT TO RELIEVE SOME OF THAT STRESS AND FRUSTRATION?  SWEET DREAMS....

  • am, black! thats true my brother!! u telling it AS IT IS ,thanx bru, I cnt even walk around with my white girl! coz am BLACK!

  • South Africa had some of the best doctors in the world, the first heart surgery was done here. Now these descendants of these great doctors are leaving because they either can't study or won't be hired and the government import Cuban doctors - they are pretty much a bunch of idiots. Nice to see how communists care for each other.

  • Im sorry it sucks so bad rite now man. It seems like you have an optimistic view of your country though. If you make it to the states your always welcome to stay for a spell till you get your bearings.We have work where I am that's for sure.

  • africans have a whole continent, white people just want the south bit of it. FUCK OFF NIGGERS

  • @BowToMySkill wow issues dude

  • @BowToMySkill hey turd, did you know that whitties have two continents? so fuck off white boy

  • @goofball944700 no US is filled with mexicans and niggers, europe is filled with muslims

  • You are as ignorant as you sound chap. South African history is way older than 1652. When Bartholome Diaz passed by SA in the 1500s he wrote that there was a civilization of people that existed in SA. He was talking about the Xhosas. The Xhosas were settlers here as well. They came sometime around the 1200s. When they got here there were already people living here. They are the Khoi and the San....you just recited white his(big)otry to us. Dont post stuff just because u have a pc...please

  • Cape Town is a cosmopolitan city, first European discovered it 2be specific, was Bartolomeu Diaz a Portuguese explorer in 1487 whilst searching for a sea route to India.To this end, a small Vereenigde Oostindische Compagnie (VOC) expedition under the command of Jan van Riebeeck reached Table Bay on 6 April 1652. Pretoria is SA Capital City...

  • "It all started in the 1600's when the Dutch discovered Southern Africa".

    REALLY? There where no people in Southern Africa before the Dutch came along??? REALLY??? I have a sneaky suspicion that the history of Southern Africa started before the 1600's and Dutch people weren't the people who originally discovered the area.

  • Ancient Greeks and Romans had slaves. Italy dropped poison gas bombs on Ethiopians. The Greeks assasinated a U.S. Naval officer. The British were brought to their knees by Ghandi. 2011 rolls around and the Ivory Coast, Egypt and Libya are in turmoil as we humans REACH FOR UTOPIA.

  • AFRIKAANS is NIE 'n mengsel tussen DUITS en Nederlands nie! Liewe hemel ou jy moet bietjie beter navorsing doen voor jy sulke uitlatings maak - dit laat jou dom lyk. Afrikaans is suiwer vereenvoudigde Nederlands - ek was al menig male in Nederland en Duitsland en die twee kom nie naby aan mekaar nie.

  • WHITES GET THE FUCK OUT OFF AFRICA

    from CHINA

  • @oANWARoo get the fuck out of tibet faggot

  • @oANWARoo

    You too

  • @pack1 we help africa not rape it........

  • @oANWARoo

    Like you help Tibet or the Uyghur people?

  • @pack1 yeas we just help people, and by the way there are noo problems in uyghur an tibet any moore

  • @oANWARoo

    Sure. We all remember Tiananmen Square. The cover-ups since is disgraceful. I bet you still use tibetans as target practice in the mountains and still mob up on innocent muslims and whatever you do over there.

    I respect China but dont tell me you just want to help.

  • I own shares in south africa , i have investments in various money markets.South Africa will never become or is nowhere near being close to becoming the next zimbabwe.South Africa is the worlds second largest diamond exporter and the list goes on.

    White south africans own a large slice of the nations wealth and the majority of our mines ....

    You should really retire soon as from misinforming peeps about things you have no clue about.....

  • @Kpublik1 Political climates in third world countries like South Africa change like the weather. Take the apartheid coup by mandela, the Ian smith coup by Mugabe, and the middle eastern mess. I hear of mine nationalization, and farm confiscations, I monitor what goes on closely. I however personally believe Oppenheimer is untouchable and south Africa won't completely go to shit. So I will hold my ETF long term. However if Julius malema wins the presidency ever, I will sell immediately.

  • My comment means that insane to get poor white people out of south Africa before the likes of malema and the ANC turn it into Zimbabwe. South Africa could be Zimbabwe pretty soon. Nothing would surprise me with the stunts the current government has pulled.

    I own shares in the South african ETF "Ishares MSCI South Africa Index Fund"

    (Symbol EZA on the New York Stock Exchange.) people like Rendeir keep us informed on what's REALLY happening in South Africa, unlike the mainstream media.

  • i meant proposal.....

  • i like when he talks about the history of SA he goes into more detail about the dutch and british and just skims over the black people who are indigineous to the place.

  • @QueenHydra Maybe cause they did FUCK ALL to deserve a mention

  • @ClayIsTheWord everything that is wrong in south africa today is a direct consequence of apartheid, in my opinion. so no i dont believe that blacks get the blame here. no way. but honestly thats my opinion. this is politics, im not going to get into this over youtube comments. like seriously.

  • It is called ethnocide on a global scale. 

  • Some facts for you:

    1) The dutch invented slavery, and the British were the first major power to ban it.

    2) The Unemployment rate of Blacks in South Africa is 41%. For Whites it is 5.1%.

    3) The average Black worker earns 12,000 rand/yr, while the average White worker earns 65,400.

    4) 71% of White people over 18 in South Africa have at least a high school diploma, while the rate is 22% for Blacks.

    5) 87% of whites have running water, and only 18% of blacks.

    Get a grip on reality.

  • @ehud12sc they are less common, but each of them is a human being too eh?

  • @ehud12sc is this because of white racism... Or because since the dawn of time black africans have failed at creating and mantaining a successful society. Never once has there ever been a black nation that wasn't being plaged with: violence, disease, poverty, drugs, gangs, etc....

    Mainstream media and modern trend say that all men are created equal. Nothing further could be from the truth. Not a racist just a realist!!!

  • @jmarchiafava Oh really? What about the prosperous countries of Western Africa? Ghana, Mali, and Soghai? They were civilized and swimming in gold when Europeans were executing one another for Heresy.

    Learn history.

    All men are created equal. They are just not born into the same situation, so they live differently.

    I won't pin all of Africa's problems on the West, but certainly us in the West do deserve significant blame for how things are around the world.

  • @ehud12sc learn how to use condoms or better yet dont thank god for the sickacel .

  • @ehud12sc Civilized? I think not mate. Maybe they had walls and maybe 2 storey buildings, but not civilized. Europeans brought technology and civility to Africa, and even the turks hundreds of years before that traded with the Africans. Swimming in gold traded from the turks maybe yes. But i agree that all men are equal, but remember that you americans also had slaves until 150 years ago. And South Africa and Rhodesia (Zimbabwe) were the bread baskets of Africa...but not any more.

  • @jmarchiafava But why is it that them being black is necessarily the cause of that situation? There are other things those nations have in common.

  • @ehud12sc

    1) No. Slavery in OLD. Older than you might be able to grasp.

  • @pack1 yes, but the European slave trade was started by the Dutch, not the British. Thanks for reminding me to correct things.

  • @ehud12sc

    Thank you for your humble response.

  • Comment removed

  • @ehud12sc LOL ... looong before the dutch or batavian republic even existed the Romans, Muslims, Persians, Greeks,Egyptians .. so your so called "facts" have just been proven wrong. Well here's another phenominon the average black South African has as many children as possible because he/she gets R120 ($17.4 ) /month per child. So they eventually have enough to support one child. As for the High School Matric sertificate that is earned by merit not by race so it's their own fault.

  • @ChristiaanL14 I have posted a correction. The, Dutch started the modern European slave trade, so the statement that the British taught them how to have slaves is a lie. Pay attention and don't jump on a small technicality.

    The average Black South African lives in slums, without running water or electricity. If you don't give people a basic quality of life, don't complain when they live unproductive lives. Kinda hard to do well in school when you are starving and your mom is dying of AIDS.

  • @ehud12sc Slavery was around LONG before the Dutch "invented" it. Open the Old Testament. The Jews were slaves to the Egyptians. Or perhaps you meant the Dutch invented slavery in South Africa. Wrong again. It was black tribes trading black slaves to whites. It's not like my ancestors went around hunting the jungles and plains for people to capture. While I'm sure it happened on a small scale most black slaves were traded for.

  • @XlPH0S Please read my correction. It is getting tiring to keep explaining what I meant.

    I meant the Dutch started the first modern European slave trade, which is a fact. I compared it to the British because the maker of the video said that the British taught the Dutch how to have slaves.

  • @XlPH0S right on brother

  • @ehud12sc IF whites didnt settle in South Africa then Africa wouldnt be ANYTHING! South africa is the richest country in that continent. Why? because white people settled there and made it rich.. Now you get a grip!

  • @cam9408 South Africa is the richest country in that continent virtually entirely for it's white population. This does not mean that white people brought progress to Africa. Whites came to colonize and provided good living standards for themselves. For almost all colored/black South Africans, life is virtually the same as living in any other "developing" African nations. South Africa has one of the highest rates of crime/HIV in the world. Look up some stats on life there.

  • @cam9408 umm sorry nigeria is the richest country now you get a grip

  • @cam9408 Yeah, because the white European colonisers were aggressive exploitationists. Its not rocket science ffs, nor is it good nor morally justifiable. You get a grip.

  • @cam9408

    And now European countries are being "settled" by immigrants from all over the world. And when those immigrants write their history books they will tell of all the improvements they made and how the white Europeans should be grateful to have been invaded and enslaved. Turnabout isn't always fair, but it's more fair than just letting abuse continue forever.

  • @txsray1 Hey do not be fool, do not talk rubbish about my Euro ancestors. Imigrants just came to europe to ask for benefits, because Europe was built hundreds years ago, first inventorsare from Europe.

  • @Paulwhiteshark : Please include SLAVERY,CONQUEST, PILLAGE, GREED to your Euro ancestors' CV!!!

  • @cam9408 U r talking bullshit

  • @cam9408 go back to europe....bitch

  • @cam9408 HOW DID THEY MAKE THE CONTINENT RICH OR THAT COUNTRY? DID THEY BRING THE OILS AND DIAMONDS TO THAT CONTINENT? WHITES ONLY MADE IT GOOD FOR THEM... CAN YOU ASK THE MILLIONS OF BLACKS IN SOUTH AFRICA THAT WAS MURDERED BY WHITES IF IT WAS GREAT... LMBAO@ WHITES TRYIN TO DISTORT THE TRUTH.. THE WHITES IN SOUTH AFRIKA ARE EUROPEANS GO BACK TO EUROPE

  • @cam9408 IF U TAKE WHITES SERIOUS WE WOULD BELIEVE YALL KILLED HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS TO MAKE LIFE BETTER FOR THE REST.. IS THAT WHAT YOU ARE SAYIN WHITES DID? CAN YOU TELL ME ANYWHERE ON THIS PLANET THAT WHITES HAVENT WENT AND OPPRESSED PEOPLE... LMAO@ THIS REINDEER CLOWN BLAMING OTHER WHITES FOR WHITES IN SOUTH AFRIKAS ACTIONS

  • Respond to this video... @ REINDIER... YOU SAID ITS PAYBACK TIME.. WHICH IS A COMCEPT I TRULY BELIEVE IN I DONT BELIEVE IN FORGIVENESS WITHOUT PUNISHMENT.. CAN YOU TELL ME ANYTIME IN HISTORY WHEN ANYONE HAS DONE WHITES WRONG AND YALL HAVE TURNED THE OTHER CHEEKS? I CANT WAIT FOR YOUR RESPONSE.. AND HOW ARE BLACKS TURNING LIKE WHITES... ARE YALL SLAVES? DO YALL HAVE CHAINS ON YALL NECKS?

  • @cam9408 If whites didn't come to Africa I wouldn't be here. I'm coloured.

  • @ehud12sc

    Slavery has been around as long as there have been humans, you twat! Every people has had slaves (or similar workers) at one point in time. So much for your historical knowledge!!!

  • @festerburg87 Seriously, this is getting tiresome. I added a correction, read it and stop catching me on a technicality. I KEEP SAYING that the Dutch started the modern European Slave trade, and the british were amongst the first to ban it. I will stop responding to this repetitive comment from now on, because I had to do it like 50 times since I added my correction.

  • @ehud12sc I stopped reading this simply idiot and ignorant comment at the first 4 words of point 1. The Dutch invented slavery? Are you serious? Try to actually think this time, and then again tell me who invented slavery. I couldn't be botherd with checking all your other 'facts' since this one already proved your lack of knowledge about the subject.

  • @DaBumbasta I'm getting tired of having to repeat my correction over again. The Dutch started the European slave trade. Slavery has existed for thousands of years, and everyone knows that. Please look through some pages and see that I have corrected this stupid technicality I keep getting pointed to over and over again.

  • @ehud12sc No. It seem everyone wants to shit on your head about it.

    And now its my turn to take a dump!

    Go to Zimbabwe if you hate white people so much and enjoy getting kwasihiorkor from just eating bread your entire life.

    What say you about the farmers (white vs. black) in SA. At least once a month the 7 o'clock news I see another R15 million(minimum) farm drained of life and next the interview with a black farmer(WHAT!?) making excuses and blaiming the goverment or whatever!

  • @0kamiW0lf I never said I hate white people (and I'm white, fyi). I just can't stand people ignoring reality and feeling sorry for themselves for no reason like the maker of this video, be them White or Black. You really can't live comfortably and then whine about how the system is rigged against you. I really wouldn't be very happy in Zimbabwe, but thanks for the suggestion!

  • @ehud12sc believe it or not there are enough happy people in Zimbabwe, the truth is who wants to live under dictatorship ? We've all seen how Romania was under Caecescu also.Not everyone wants an ipod or a playstation as a companion to kill loneliness.The system is always controlled by a handful of people everywhere.A few people can control the masses. Hitler proved it. Mussolini did also.Hell Milosevic also did.

  • @ehud12sc The first major power to ban slavery, was the Iranians, read about Cyrus the Great.

  • @ehud12sc actually slavery was around before the Dutch, the ancient Romans had slaves B.C

  • @LOVE808s ok, this is absolutely the last time I post the correction. I have posted it a million times and people keep making the same comment again and again, catching me on this dumb technicality. The Dutch started the Western slave trade before any other European nation. I know slavery has existed for thousands of years, PLEASE stop annoying me with the same comment over and over and see that I have corrected this numerous times before.

  • @ehud12sc You fucking said invented.  Own your lie.

  • @ThemeForAJackal138 clearly by adding the word "fucking", you made your statement bolder. I apologized for this stupid technicality and it is getting both tiresome and frustrating dealing with idiots like you.

  • @ehud12sc true the dutch definetely invented the chattel of slavery and lifelong servitude as we know.what existed before was a cast system in europe.The Dutch were also the first to get a grant from the pope to legitimate slavery.The christian churches has a lot to answer for.The portuguese owned half of slaves in the new world.I can't understand why they are a poor and corrupt nation today.The EU is getting ready to shell out 5 billions to bail them out.The chinese want to pay off that debt.

  • @ehud12sc Here's a fact for you, the British were only the first to ban it for totally cynical, Machiavellian reasons - that is, they were the first to industrialise, therefore could afford to ban it, and would have a global economic advantage in doing so. If you think that any major government power ever does anything for humanitarian reasons, then you have much to learn.

  • @7th75thCallaghan I never said the British banned slavery for humanitarian reasons, nor do I believe that governments (or really most organizations with power) behave in a based off what is humanitarian to do. They behave based on solid interests that expand their, and the base they represent's, power.

    With regards to the invention of slaver, please look up the various corrections I have done for that technicality. The Dutch did start the European slave trade, however.

  • @ehud12sc Oh, I almost forgot to add: the Dutch did not invent slavery, nor did Holland exist before slavery, I think you need to look at least 5000 years back in time to find its origins, it's as old as prostitution as least.

  • Buddy. The Dutch "invented slavery". The British were the first European power to make slavery illegal. Learn history.

  • @ehud12sc As for the learn history comment, are you really that arrogant ? Who the hell cares about slave traders ? If you want to involve history smart guy then lets do that Allot of black tribes conquered weaker ones and sold them to whites as punishment, humiliate them. The Ancient Greeks did similar (History just in case you didn't know what that means). In the future do not make assumptions if the person you are conversing with has more knowledge of the given field.

  • @ChristiaanL14 slavery has existed since the beginning of time, yes. But the modern slave trade was started by the Dutch. The reason I posted this is because the creator of the video stated that the British taught the Dutch how to have slaves, which is just not true. I'm not looking back that far. I apologize if you took offense, and I didn't doubt your knowledge base. Your point is invalid because it's not relevant to the video, despite the obvious well know truth in it.

  • @ehud12sc ah then it's fine, I didn't pay that much attention to even note that part as it is insignificant to me , no problem. However don't make the British seem so goody goody they bombarded Zanzibar for three days where they didn't even have an army. Put women and children in concentration camps -which gave Hitler the idea, they are probably the worst of all the tyrants in history and yet they rule the world. They have caused much more harm then they have relieved it. Have a nice day.

  • I am amazed that almost nobody recognise the inherent peaceful culture amongst the Afrikaner nation. The New Zealanders, Australians and Americans annihilated the indigenous population, but not the Afrikaner. They believed in coexistence and when the British rulers in the Cape could not give them protection they asked for, the Boers packed up and moved north into open areas free from British rule. Note: The Boers did not invade areas under control of blacks. Study history to learn the facts.

  • @oomblikkies Oom, you are right. Also, so called "apartheid", which became a buzz word for foreign couch politicians, was started by the british in the form of education bans against blacks.

  • @oomblikkies bullshit the khoisan are almost extinct and they were teh indigenous population of South Africa you prick. There are more aboriginies and native americans than khoisan people

  • hot accent :)

  • disregard this, it's a history lesson from a retard

  • theres alot of South Africans in Australia particularly in Perth and Sydney, they give themselves a bad name because they often treat us Australians like we're their slaves, they think their better than us.. i have found the arrogance to be largely among the jewish south Africans which no doubt has spurred on more anti-semetism, but many Africaaners and anglo Africans are not much better

  • Joburg's not the capital of SA, bru. The rest of your story is mythical not factual.

  • where does Steve Hofmeyr come from? i love his accent

  • United We Are Strong, Divided We Shall Fall.

  • Can you hear the car being stolen in the background? I bet that is a black or coloured person xD ...there goes your car radio.

  • I can totally relate to what you're saying.It's not south africa specifically but multi ethnic multi racial societies as a whole that suck.I live in trinidad and tobago for example, and the degree of hypocrisy about race you see here is mind boggling.There are two major racial groups: blacks and east indians.When the blacks form the government, their people get preferential treatment.When the Indians are in charge the situation is reversed.If you are white, you don't count. Period!

  • thats screwed up dude... and really you think that SA is 3rd world ?

    And when you say INDIAN to you mean like native americans or India indians?

  • "The Dutch discovered South Africa". Hilarious. But when you're steeped in ethnocentrism, things like common sense go out the window. Maybe tomorrow you'll say you discovered air, and then... *GASP*... WATER!!!

  • Part 2

    Our love and understanding is devoted here, being born in south africa and raised amongst people who love and believe in helping one another is what is missing in todays aggressive "politics that is re-written" i truly believe and see a change like many of my south africano that theirs always help not by outsiders looking way in, were here to help and achieve it together.

    My heart craves for this as it does for you. If you have a FB please add me it's Ashley Bloom the blonde one 3<

  • Firstly you have touched many of us with the way South Africa has been divided by not us or our generation, when 400 years of rule that was then now has come back and bite us where it hurts.

    I feel somewhat lost in translation that as our generation is meant to achieve these goals to both color no matter what gender we face a up hill struggle. I won't see our for fathers that who broke backs to make way their mark, that time has long gone we'll be left standing. P.S CARRING ON NEXT PAGE

  • The Dutch did NOT discover SA...The Portuguese did. Please get the facts straight before uploading. Thanks

    A portuguese sailor by the name of Bartholomeu Diaz was on a voyage to the far east when he discovered South Africa when he sailed around it and landed on Cape Aghulas.

  • The dutch did not discover no part of Africa ....Fact.

  • Rendier you have to understand if they drop affirmative action whites will rule again. Because they are inevitably smarter. I don't hate blacks but there is a reason no one goes on vacation to Africa. Why do you think the entire world is flocking to European countries?

  • @somebody434 ..whites are smarter? hahahahahahahahaha.....and your a comedian right?

  • @somebody434 No one goes on vacation in africa? Really?! -__-

  • agreeagreeagree. 

  • (continued) Some Afrikaners/Boers actually welcomed the abolishment and there was even an active group for the abolishment. Poor compensation was however one of the reasons for the Great Trek. Be careful of Mandela mania, he wrote the work 'How to be a good communist' and he was a marxist terrorist before he was jailed. I agree with you that South Africa's wealth was the reason the Republics lost their sovreignty and women and children were placed in concentration camps.

  • As an Afrikaans South African I have to correct you on some things you say. The Cape of Good Hope was a refreshment post for the VOC (a private enterprise) ships' en route to India. Later the Cape was HANDED to the English and it became the Cape Colony. Britain and America did not 'teach' us slavery, the VOC and Dutch used Malay slaves without those countries' help. Slavery was abolished in the British Empire and later they called for the abolishment of slaves in South Africa with compensation.

  • @maraisetienne2 Let it also be said that the Malays were not the first slaves that were imported. The first plantation workers were Chinese, but the government of the day shipped them back to China when they saw the slaves were breeding like there was no tomorrow. Also, we have to remember that slaves had to be imported because the local black population was too small and useless. Even Ghandi said the Indians were better workers than the lazy blacks and should be treated better.

  • Africa also has Arabs too, not just blacks who are african

  • Excellent Video. I'm black and The second I get my engineering degree I'm hauling ass to japan, been offered a place, and I don't see a point in staying in a country that refuses to let go.i don't want to get a job because I'm black, I want to get a job because I'm just awesome like that.And I get that people are still struggling now, and there is a lot of hatred around but it's mostly from the older generation. and they tend to feed the youth,but in time I think the youth will make a change
