Affirmative Action

AA is a zero sum game. They should just let the whites keep their jobs and create new ones for the blacks. This way you will decrease the unemployment rate.

If you make me wear my hair like that with a checkered tie I am going to throw a tantrum :p

But a new political party (not one of these fly by night parties) a proper party that has NO ties to the past whatsoever might just be able to pull it off.

Oh ja, the fashion statement will have to be upgraded, don't you worry.

If you are educated, skilled and able you do not need to hide behind AA - you should be able to stand tall and proud on your own to feet and do the work.

Amen - "Thank God the new generation is smarter, wiser and colour-blind. It's the old grumpy racist fellows who need to step aside and stop bringing this country down." This goes for both white and black.

No he is just so many horrible things we aren't allowed to say in this forum. Lets go with JM is a political STD, hope they find the "penicillin" to cure it soon.
 
I think it's an evolution thing... :)

No seriously, the fact of the matter is that, on a microcosmic scale, look at these test cases where they give a bum $100,000 and go back to check up a year later - he's back on the street where he was. I feel that's the situation with SA Govt. Along with becoming the ruling party, it cam with access to money, power, influence and decision making. If a person (or organization of people) are ill equipped or inexperienced to be in such a position, they will fail, and end up "back on the street". The only difference I see is that the $100,000 just keeps coming, so the problem perpetuates and grows - please explain why teh ANC govt is almost 3 times larger (headcount wise) than it was when they took power? Okay that question is rhetorical due to the myriad possibilities and opinions but come on guys, this is an educated forum... we all know that AA is a fabulous ideaology that is poorly executed in most cases where it is applied, especially when it does not have any clearly defined targets, time frames, accountable ambassadors or political figures etc. Sound familiar?

It is only fair that people be given a right to basic education, decent jobs and a right to choose whatever job they like and can do..

Of course... but don't forget that in SA some are more equal than others.

Any political party in any country is bound to grow; the ANC is widely known and very popular in SA; the majority is bound to join in. I agree AA has been poorly executed in some instances, but in most instances the AA has given a large platform to a lot of educated and skilled PDI's.

Unlike other STD's I think this one is immune to any form of protection, and once infected it eats at your mind until there is little more than a jelly stain left.

I reckon I'd feel a little insulted if I was one of those "educated and skilled PDI's". But then I guess some people have thicker skins than others
 
and now for today's debate

‎"South Africa is the only country in the world where affirmative action is in the favour of the majority who has complete political control, and have had it for nearly 18 years. The fact that the political majority requires affirmative action to protect them against a 9% minority group is testament to a complete failure on their part to build their own wealth making structures, such that their only solution is to take it from others."
