Poor Whites - South Africa

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 don't feel bad for you that you're black either. I understand you have inferiority issues. I live in America, and blacks are still considered the biggest trash. Whites, asians, indians, most hispancs....we all don't want to have anything to do with you. Please just die!!!!!

@TheBrutalization The blacks had nothing before the white man came to africa. They were just people running around in animal skins and throwing spears at eachother, living in mud huts. Now they live the high life, driving our cars, living in our homes with hot running water and electricity. Without us they would still be uneducated monkeys running around outside without any of the luxuries they have today.

Everyone is suffering I'm afraid to say, both black and white are suffering more than ever before. A black lady who works for us is afraid to go home to her black community in fear that she might be raped or murdered. Everybody is unsafe nowadays! There are a few blacks better off now, but most are poor as church mice. The country is falling apart...
