Hitler's like the Mickey Mouse of evil. Except Goofy is Goebbels and Minnie is on fire in a ditch.
No, they're both borne out of a dysfunctional and abusive government. One happened decades ago. The other is happening now. I suspect that had the report been about black-only poverty, and was introduced as "black in SA are poor", it would have resulted in a plethora of comments about whites not being cared about once again...Originally Posted by JamSync
How they became poor? The reasons are very different. I don't need to spell it out for you do I?
Go humour us. How many of them do you think were living in squalor before and after apartheid ended?
You actually do because I can see that you want to point to AA & BEE. Which will cause me to point out that as a % white people have the lowest unemployment rate of all other the other population groups in this country.
Exactly! The reasons for white and black poverty are very different. Thanks Fudzy!
There is no doubting that poverty exists across all racial lines in SA. To break it down and start addressing and even reporting on them as separate issues is really not going to accomplish anything and in my books boils down to irresponsible reporting. Like I said, the introduction of the report reeks of agenda-pushing...
I have watched programs on the telly about poor black people. I don't have a problem with that, in fact I am for it. Same goes for any racial group suffering from poverty and there is a program about it. I think its good to report on it.
Exactly, I would love to see a report on how hard South Africa is on the poor, irrespective of colour I don't think poor blacks get any beneficial treatment, certainly not in the job market. There aren't many whites out there willing or wanting to do the work that poor blacks do.
LOL. Careful with the ambiguity there. I'm pretty sure you didn't mean to imply that you're okay with black poverty...
You are still not saying why white people live in poverty. What's with the ducking and diving ala Apache?

You generalizing about a specific racial group there. You are also doing exactly what DJ... is speaking out against and yet you are agreeing with his post.
What a load of crud that video is. Its trailer park stuff. Shame, poor unskilled labour no longer get a free ticket, and has to compete against other unskilled labour. Equality is a bitch. For skilled labour (and Im not talking about philosophers here), there is plenty of work.

Attaining those necessary skills is still a bridge that South Africa is yet to overcome. But I don't agree that there is a blanket hole in our economy for this. In certain sectors, absolutely...
No, I'm highlighting the challenge of employment equity, too many pale faces at the top, not enough at the bottom in comparison to too many black faces at the bottom and not enough at the top.You generalizing about a specific racial group there.
