White South Africans have failed to evolve ....?
Excuse me, Sir, but you have obviously not met very many then!
I am a white South African living in the USA, and about to become a citizen of the US. Born and raised in South Africa by parents of Swiss/French/Dutch decent, schooled in English School, and speak at least 4 of the 12 official languages in South Africa. I am a member of a family who fought Apartheid during its day - we have often being jailed, had personal property destroyed and even friends and family murdered because of our attempts to improve the lives of our fellow-man through non-violent means such as educational, medical and social advancements.
I left South Africa, not to 'run away' from a black government, but from a WHITE Husband who was trying to kill me because I was divorcing him after 18 years of violence, and treatment to me and my children (white to white) similar to this video .....
My beautiful daughter-in-law is about to give birth to twins, and guess what ... they are part 'black', and I can't wait to hold my lovely GRANDBABIES in my arms.
SIR, YOU NEED TO GET AROUND A BIT MORE AND MEET A FEW MORE PEOPLE - HANG WITH A BETTER CROWD MAYBE?
Oh, and for people watching this video ... the sub-titles are misleading ... the spoken 'slang' of the Afrikaans, is different to the raw translation. This is a bunch of ignorant, BOYS who need to be disciplined, but are no means typical of WHITE South Africans either in or outside of South Africa. No more so than a member of the Klu Klux Klan would be typical of a WHITE Southerner in the USA.
This type of behavior goes on all over the world:
White on White
Man on Woman
Black on Black
Yellow on Yellow
LIGHT on DARKER
MALE on FEMALE
POWERFUL on WEAKER ....
This is not about APARTHEID which is dead - the racial environment in South Africa is better than just about anywhere in the world - remarkable intergration ... White South Africans HAVE evolved!
But, as anywhere that HUMANS exist, there is always a few that are wired badly, something broken, that causes cruelty to others ... in any country!
