@mktking No. That's not what he/she said. South African is not the same as African, there is a clear distinction. South African refers to people who are citizens of the country of South Africa - and that definitely has NOTHING to do with color. The miseducation of people who cannot read is truly remarkable. Shut up.

Black Economic Empowerment 15 years later has done nothing for the previously disadvantaged masses. A minority of individuals have manipulated it to their favour for tremendous wealth while the millions of people it intended to help are still very poor. To me, BEE is simply another form of racism. If we want promote equality, shouldn't we abolish all inequalities.

LOL, I am suppose to feel sorry for the white nanny. It's as though the guy was looking at the situation like this is so backwards. I don't support racism of any kind whether it is white on black, black on white, or purple on purple, however, this video is promoting ignorance and racism. Correct me if I'm wrong, but its as though you're saying that this is backwards and its not right because they're white. Would you have created a video if it was the other way around or during apartheid?

This video is kak!! (masepa fela). It promotes racism and poverty. I'd rather watch 96 year old Jacque Fresco as he has good ideas about the future

just imagine if things were like this in SA......

@klempie1980

In Canada, we were lucky that our governments were liberal enough to institute radical change to make our multiculturalism work

I hope SA can do the same thing- the people are too polarized at the moment either DA or ANC- however there are encouraging signs- the DA is reaching out to black voters now and there is increasing recognition of the rampant corruption in the ANC

@klempie1980

There really hasn't been any change- the blacks hold the power now but still we have the whites control the economy

I'm not saying that SA should go Zimbawze style- but things need to change

I deeply respect your efforts to reach out and there should be more like you doing the same thing.

the fact is however, whites are not happy, blacks are not happy

there are extremist groups like the AWB on one side and the ANC Youth on the other..

@klempie1980

I am deeply sympathetic to the current plight of the whites in South Africa but there are reasons for there to be deep divides even to this day.

1. Minority rule only ended in the 1990s and even then the blacks lived a horrible life for the most part (I've seen the statistics from research)

2. There was never land equalization- whites still hold the overwhelming majority

3. Many blacks lie in brutal poverty in comparison to the whites

I can go on about this but...
