..or maybe the majority doesn't want the minority to, so they can say the minority doesn't want to.

They don't want everything to fail, but they reserve the right to say so if things do fail, but the majority don't like it when they do and pretend everything's alright.
If the majority wanted to stand with the minority, they would stop singling them out for special treatment, marginalizing them, blaming them for the past, not giving them opportunities - especially the youth, mentioned race and other daft things.

I agree...
It's funny that that statement sounds very similar to the things people like ML King used to complain about - just reversed, of course.
I'm beginning to think that it is safe to say that the ruling class is usually shyte and that "the majory" is merely a bunch of sheep. Viva the underdog.
A less incompetent government would certainly help a lot.
They could've fooled me...a successfull SA(under a non-white goverment) is not in the interest of many.Never was there any negativity with the rugby world cup in '95.Yes it was a smaller event,but with just a year into a democracy,it was SA's biggest event then.If there ever was a time for sceptism it was then.

What exactly do you mean? Why would anyone NOT want a successful SA??
There is so much that's gone wrong in this country, you could be forever writing about it and not reach the end. I just get the feeling nobody in government wants to hear any of it because they want a success story and they will have it no matter what.

Mbeki's response to the rape crisis in SA:
"I will not keep quiet while others whose minds have been corrupted by the disease of racism accuse us, the black people of South Africa, Africa and the world, as being, by virtue of our Africanness and skin colour, lazy, liars, foul-smelling, diseased, corrupt, violent, amoral, sexually depraved, animalistic, savage and rapist."
Baby Face:
"I will kill for Zuma."
And don't forget:
"There is *no* crisis in Zimbabwe."
There are far too many to mention. Who doesn't want SA to be a success?

Nonsense! I'm sure that SA has a 0% chance of ever getting a white, coloured, Asian or Indian president. I'm not talking about a token job here and there, I'm talking about the President of the country. The so-called non-racist blacks will not have it!

The point is that you seem think that a large number of whites (probably the majority in your mind) want the country/2010 to fail.... the rest want the country/2010 to succeed.You seemed to miss the point,try keep up.
Just wanting something to happen is different from making it happen. Walk in front of a train with a positive attitude and see how well that works for you.

Does that mean you agree with but not making it happen makes it ok.The point is that you seem think that a large number of whites (probably the majority in your mind) want the country/2010 to fail.... the rest want the country/2010 to succeed.
People with positive attitudes DO NOT walk in front of trains.

What are you, personally, doing to make it happen? Are you buying vuvuzelas (ama-vuvuzela), supporting Bafana, donating money? What? Please, edumacate me.
Why are they not racists? Are you telling me that those white dudes who had sex with their black maids in Apartheid SA weren't racist?
Why can't they be racist? Please cite your sources.
