It is still lilly white - why more whites? Is it wrong to put a moratorium in place so that the scales can balance? It is not like dischem proposed to fire all their white employees...

“You cannot redress the myriad inequalities which pervade human life by applying the same rules to all,” he said.

This is the mindset of a social justice warrior. It's actually disturbing people think this way.

Discrimination happens against the individual. Policies based on race is not a fair construct but a racist one it its core.

BEE an AA doesn't uplift poor people from the hardships of life. It uplifts black people while discriminating against white people.

I get up really early and squeeze the nuts myself now.

Yes, why is it so difficult for people to understand that you can't fight past racism with present racism?

Why not? Unless of course you have an issue with whites. You probably do.

racism is still racism, even if its "correct" racism,
there is no "good" Racism or Bad Racism, only Racism wearing a Hat, saying I'm Good.

so for Dis chem to say we don't employ Whites and go on record saying that is incredibly short sighted and Racist.
good thing there was a Massive outcry and people boycotted them and their Racist policies, and people voted with their feet

how would you feel if people said to you because your eyes are blue your welcome to work for us,
but because your eyes are green shoo.

same concept,

Unless race is relevant to the job I'd say it's always wrong to hire, or not hire, based on race.

Better to educate all South Africans well so that they're competing on a more even playing field in a healthy economy hungry for workers. Do that and you won't need racial quotas. Black folks will end up dominating in positions everywhere it's a numbers game, it's impossible for this not to happen.
