Realllllly. Where exactly was I supposed to put my cross ? On my fsking forehead ?Unfortunately, one of the bitter realities is that white South Africans were the only ones enfranchised to vote apartheid out of power.

"Would it not be appropriate for black South Africans also to give more recognition to the contribution whites have made to the new South Africa?" he wrote in the Sunday Independent.
"It required considerable courage for ... whites ... to overcome their reasonable fears and put their trust in their erstwhile enemies."
Uum duh - did the whites not finally vote Apartheid out of power? It was that "small minority" that changed the mindset of the apartheid goons - (and the whole country.)Unfortunately, one of the bitter realities is that white South Africans were the only ones enfranchised to vote apartheid out of power. They did not. Instead, as Steve Biko argued, the liberal convictions that were evident in the intervals between elections evaporated in the election years. The efforts of the progressive white South Africans were not significant enough to constitute anything more than a minority. If whites had the vote and they failed to vote apartheid out of power, then Tutu’s statement is perfectly syllogistic.
WTF is he talking about. THEY have been running the country for 12 years - with massive opportunities to create jobs and a future. But they do nothing - except blame the whites - who actually put them in power in the first place. Read my lips - Young blacks and this governement have every opportunity in the world - to date - all they do is play the blame game and go to meetings - while the country crumbles and millions die of AIDS.In the face of growing impatience among young blacks and on the eve of the 30th anniversary of the June 16 Uprising, it seems that the nation needs to take stock. The choices facing this generation are rather obvious.

Now that is definitely debatable - maybe we should have a meeting - followed by a colloquium, followed by a review... (that's before we start the whole process all over again - for anybody who may have missed it first time around.)ajak said:All i know is that i`m going to heaven when i die....so pê![]()
