They learned well.......

One must give credit for what seems to be a learning capacity by Black South Africans. Those who grew up in the apartheid years saw and experienced racism in many forms and disguises. They must have taken careful note of what was happening because they are not only practicing racism now that the ANC (read Blacks) are in power, but they are doing it with a vengeance almost unequaled in the past. The one difference is that their evil discrimination has not evoked the wrath of the international media and foreign governments yet.

Yes, THEY can use the k...... word (even Mbeki the President did); THEY can form their own Native Clubs and THEY can bar white journalists from press conferences! And so it goes on. Only whites can be racists!

Where are those journalists and other activists who fought so hard to end apartheid? Why do they not stand up now and cry foul? Where are those "verligte" authors who filled thousands of pages in so many books at that time to focus attention on the discrimination? Where are all those so-called "pink liberals" who were rattling off every conceivable word to denounce the National Party? This is NOT implying that apartheid was right! On the contrary. But we are experiencing the same radicalism now, with the colours of the "rainbow nation" all turning black and one day.........perhaps as red as blood.
