A class in which they play Nina Simone at the beginning of a lecture . . . is a class I'd attend on a regular basis.

The black is indolent and a dreamer; spending his meager wage on frivolity or drink; the European has a tradition of work and saving, which has pursued him as far as this corner of America and drives him to advance himself, even independently of his own individual aspirations." CHE GUEVARA

Yea but there black

Apartheid for sure is not something that any government has the right to enforce. However I believe that the real problem came in the form of enforced economic inequality. I believe that if the black community in S.A could have had the worlds interest in investment in human talent and ingenuity they would have found a wealth of treasure and would have discovered riches beyond belief.
